What is the CRITERION BARRELS INC - .308 AR 16" Hybrid Mid-length, Chrome-lined?

Criterion Hybrid contour match grade .308 AR barrels offer an ideal configuration for those seeking extreme accuracy without the added weight of a heavy barrel contour. These .308 AR barrels feature a M118LR chamber. The longer throat of the M118LR enables Criterion .308 AR barrels to improve upon the performance of loads utilizing heavier bullets, serving to reduce wind drift when fired at longer ranges. This configuration is designed to accommodate either .308 Winchester or 7.62x51 ammunition, and comes complete with an installed barrel extension. CBI .308 AR barrels are compatible with DPMS, Remington, and Fulton pattern rifles, and accept muzzle devices with a 5/8x24 thread. An indent is provided opposite the gas port to enable easy installation. Chambers are finished, but headspace should be checked prior to installation. Chrome lined variants are available in 16, 18 and 20 inch lengths. These barrels are button rifled, and have been hand lapped to ensure consistent bore uniformity.


SPECS: Fits - DPMS pattern 308 rifles. Contour - Hybrid. Cartridge - 308 Winchester. Finish - Parkerized with Chrome Bore & Chamber. Muzzle Threads - 5/8-24. Gas Block Diameter - .750".


Threaded Barrel Restriction:

Nail driver
Using factory fed match 175 smk, 2500+/- fps and zeroed at 20 yards ( four rounds one hole) left me 1 moa low at 400 yards. Rings steel at 700 yards all day with just enough effort to make it fun. Cycles greats. Needed a little smoothing of the edges on star chamber lugs to stop scratching brass and head spaced perfect with an Aero Precision bolt group. I don't shoot paper, just steel but the barrel is there.

Accurate
I bought one of these barrels before for a customer build, was surprised with the accuracy and bought one for myself. Ive bought the 22 Criterion stainless target barrel and wasnt happy with the accuracy, actually enough that I sent it back to Criterion. This 20 chrome lined barrel is very well made, very accurate. 165 HPBT Sierra, 44.5 grains of Vit N-550, 1/2five shot groups at 200 yards.

Very accurate
Installed it on a Aero upper receiver with JP lightened bolt and adjustable gas block, and the JP one piece buffer spring. Once sighted in with .308 Win 147 grain bullets ( various brands) at 100 yds using a Night Force scope. It was able to hit a 20 inch round plate at 600 yards. The group was a little less than 10 inches. Using Remington and Federal match grade ammo, the group tightened up to around 6 to 8 inches. Using IMI match brass, Vihtavouri powder, and the 165 grain Hornady match bullets (new custom loaded), the group tightened up to about 5 to 6 inches, and thats at 500 and 600 yards. Mostly in the 5 inch or less range. Range only go up to 600. No wind, temp was about 80 degrees.

Great barrel
I am very pleased with this barrel, function and fit are great and the accuracy is outstanding, I have not measured the groups, but with good work on my part the holes are all touching at 100 yards with 168 grain A Max bullets.

Amendment to my Previous review !
When I purchased this I had no idea how accurate it would be, I have since then put 100 rounds+ thru the barrel and feel it was worth the money, initially I expected smaller groups then I got but at the 40 round mark the groups started to shrink, I now am getting 3/4 " center to center of 3 shot groups at 100 yards, consistently with 168 Match King bullets or Federal match ammunition, I am thrilled to get that kind of accuracy out of a chrome lined barrel.! Thank You Brownell's (not to mention CBI !) Oh and I have read that it is possible that the grouping might improve from the above !
