Awesome barrel!

by Matthew Middleton, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on August 22, 2021
I purchased this Criterion hybrid 300 blackout 10.5” barrel from Optics Planet. I purchased a Rubber City Armory black nitride BCG and head spaced checked it. The BCG was a perfect match. At the range it performed flawlessly and with really good accuracy. I highly recommend Criterion barrels. This is my third Criterion barrel and I have no complaints on any of them.
Pros:
  • Great barrel
Cons:
  • Shipping could be faster
Would recommend: Yes

Wouldn't headspace.

I ended up trying 4 different bolts from 4 different manufacturers. None of them would close on a go gauge with the extractor/ejector removed. I contacted Criterion throughout that process and got responses saying due to stacking, this was normal. If you're going to order this barrel, I'd advise you get their barrel/bolt combo. I ended up returning it. I didn't want to spend any more money on bolts.
