Great barrel. Great fit and finish. I got it shooting 3/4 moa with crappy ammo. It's got some weight to it. But holds it's zero through lots of rounds

Best, most accurate barrel you can get without paying some ridiculous amount for little again. A little on the heavy side, but that’s not really a surprise given the quality.

Bought this barrel to complete my ar 10 build. And I am truly impressed. More budget friendly than other barrels. But don't let that fool you. This thing eats. So far I have 40 rounds through it, the first 10 rounds were mainly dialing my gas system in. Plinking steel at 300 yards with holosun 510 and juliet 3x micro magnifyer. Couldn't wait to shoot my new build but I'm sure this barrel will be extremely acurate when my new scope arrives.

Criterion makes excellent barrels, and this one is no exception. There is almost no copper fouling and I am getting 0.5 MOA groups. They are the only barrel maker I know of that hand laps their barrels AND nitrides them. Absolutely happy with this purchase!

This barrel is 1/2 moa accurate. Out the 18 inch touching longer range is a dream. I am hooked on Criterion. If you talk to the folks there, they are laser focused on making the best barrels on the market. I didnt realize they made them for others too. They're in such demand and so good, I am picking up another to have just because. Well prices go up and I like to shoot. Buy with confidence. Cannot say enough good things about them. People dont know what I'm shooting but they look at my gun and my stacking holes and wonder... enjoy!

Received my Critrion 20" AR-10 barrel (nitride) after an approx 1 year wait. Criterion reputation is excellent, so I was willing to wait for this barrel. I have not completed my build so at this time I cannot yet confirm the accuracy of the barrel. The quality of the barrel is excellent.

I finally got this after it being backordered for months. Just got the gun together and this will out shoot most people. 1 large ragged out hole is all that was present on the target. It came in a sealed bag in a box . Shipped with oil on the barrel and in the bag to prevent any moisture from collecting. Fit and finish was also great as to be expected from such a name. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another from criterion.

Purchased an 18" .308 barrel for an AR10 build. The barrel itself is very nice, black nitride is flawless with a polished interior. Viewing through a borescope, the lands are all very distinct and machined well. Was easy to put an adjustable gas block on it as there is a mounting indent on the top of the barrel. Shooting wise, I was able to generate sub-MOA groups with the barrel using 168 grain factory match ammo. Higher grain ammo (e.g. 175/178) did not shoot as tightly (>MOA) for me. Plinking ammo (e.g. Winchester M80, Fiocchi 150gr, etc.) all shot around 1.25-2 MOA. I'm sure better shooters and/or hand loaders could get it tighter. Great barrel for the price!
Pros:
- well machined
- Sub-MOA capable
Would recommend: Yes

You can’t go wrong with criterion. Smooth and efficient these barrels slay your targets like you were playing duck hunt on Nintendo. Mates perfectly as described and shoots like an absolute dream. I’ll never buy another barrel again criterion from op is my go to
