Criterion Barrels 10.5" .223 Wylde Ultralight Phosphate/Chrome-Lined Carbine Length Barrel 1:8 Twist - 15100-UL6

The ultralight contour barrel is a lightweight option for those who require a hard use barrel without any added weight. If you are looking for a handy and versatile rifle configuration, this is an excellent and well-balanced option.

Headspace (the bolt to barrel fitment), must be checked for optimal performance and reliability.  Proper headspace produces consistent chamber pressures and seating depths which results in increased accuracy and reliability, while reducing wear and tear on internal parts and components.
