Top Shelf Barrel
by Roger C -
I mated this 11.5" chrome lined barrel with a BCM upper, BCM gas block, BCM BCMR-10 10.5" rail, BCM H2 buffer kit, AP lower, AP BCG, Geissele SSA-E and SBA3 brace. Criterion barrels are unobtainium. I waited over a year for my 308 barrel. Fortunately I got this before they were gone.
This is the best shooting firearm I've ever run! I'm 200+ rounds downrange now and I feel like a "real shooter". I'm not, of course, but it feels that way. Best explanation, it's 100% predictable. Running bill drills, failure to stop drills and target transition drills my confidence is elevated. I'm running a Holosun 510C-G (2 MOA) and at 50 yards I can group it under an inch without a proper rest or magnifier. Bill drills, 8 paces, 100+ rounds I'm getting 1.78 second times with 95% Alpha's. This is NOT the norm for me. Ejection is consistent at 3:00. Recoil is minimal. I'll have more data soon but for now.... wowza!
I love this setup and Criterion is at the heart of it.
What a joy to shoot.
