What is the CRITERION BARRELS INC - AR-15/M16 223 WYLDE CHROME LINED BARRELS?

Chrome-lined, button rifled barrels feature 223 Wylde chambers and 1-8" twist for enhanced accuracy potential with both .223 and 5.56 NATO ammunition. Unique chrome-lining process maintains uniformity throughout the bore and hand-lapping helps ensure smooth, consistent lands and grooves. Gas ports are optimized for barrel length and chambering to help ensure reliable cycling, and are available for carbine, mid-length, and rifle gas systems. Also features 1/2"-28 tpi muzzle threads for standard comps and flash hiders, plus M4 feed ramps on barrel extension to aid in smooth, reliable feeding. Barrels now feature a dimple opposite the gas port, so screw-on gas blocks do not shift during firing. Hybrid contour barrels have a reduced and tapered contour under the handguard to save weight. HBAR contour barrels feature .870" diameter under the handguard for rigidity and extra heat absorption.


SPECS: Length – 16, 18, or 20 inch. Profile – Hybrid or HBAR (18” & 20” only). Gas system – Carbine or Mid-Length (16”). Rifle (18” & 20”). Chamber - 223 Wylde. Finish - Parkerized. Chrome lined. Construction - 4150 Chrome Moly Steel. Hand Lapped. Includes barrel extension with M4 feedramps. Dimensions - .750” OD at the gas port. 1.9” length at gas block. Threads – Ѕ-28.

My stock barrel on my Anderson AM15 was a lemon, and I needed a replacement. Based off the reviews i decided to give this barrel a try and I am completely satisfied.

Quality and accurate
This barrel is shipped inside a heavy plastic bag drenched in oil. This was well packed in a cardboard box. The install into the receiver was a very tight fit. The finish is quality. I installed a clamp on adjustable gas block even though it came with a dimple. I have only shot this once so far and my best group is attached. This was at 100 yards with a LPVO scope. The results were good enough for me. Hard to believe this is from a chrome lined barrel. Brownell's shipped to my door very quickly!

Best bang for buck 10.5
Built a MK18-ish clone upper. Barrel is the heart of the upper and is a tack driver. Nice light profile but still chrome lined for longevity.
