Criterion Hybrid Barrel Feedback - muvef - 08-02-2018
I guess it's to late to matter but, I grabbed a 6.5 hybrid barrel from Brownells today. Any negative experience with Criterion barrels?

I know barrels that PF makes with their blanks get good reviews.
Like the profile of that barrel, almost the same as my JP barrels just a lil heavier.
Does it come with matched bolt?
If it does 299 for barrel and bolt is a good price.
Did you get the rifle gas or mid length?

No bolt. Did use a $30 off coupon w/ free shipping. I got the rifle length gas.

That's not bad at all.
Rifle gas seems to be a good setup for me on my 18 inch jp barrels, put a adjustable gas block and lowmass bcg and scs system and it purrs like a kitten.

My 18" Criterion RLG hybrid from brownells is an excellent barrel. Chrome lined, cleans nice and shoots straight. couple years old

I'm pretty excited about this upper build. I'll be in and out of town several times over the next month. May take longer to put together than I want.

I've been curious about the Criterion 18" rifle length hybrid barrels. Looking at the photos at Brownells, they appear to have a treatment or different material at the throat. Since you have one in hand, which is it? Thanks.

The barrel extension appears to be a phosphate finish. The chamber, throat and bore are stainless.
