Product Info for Criterion Barrels Ultralight AR-15 Threaded Barrel

The Ultralight contour is a replica of the original government/A2 profile. It is a lightweight option for those who require a hard use barrel without any added weight. If you are looking for a handy and versatile rifle configuration, this is an excellent option.image
