Criterion Barrels 12.5" .223 Wylde Hybrid Phosphate/Chrome-Lined Carbine Length Barrel - 15120-HY6
Only 4 left in stock
The Criterion AR-15 Hybrid barrel is designed for extreme accuracy without the added weight that a typical HBAR contour has. These barrels are chambered in .223 Wylde with a 1:8 button rifled twist rate to squeeze out every bit of accuracy possible. The chrome lining process makes the bore extremely hard to withstand the constant friction of a high-powered round passing through resulting in a long barrel life. The bore is then hand-lapped to make sure the lands and grooves are as smooth and consistent as possible to further ensure you are getting the most accuracy as possible. This 12.5 inch barrel is built with a carbine length gas system and an optimized gas port size to ensure reliable function with both 5.56 and .223 ammunition. If you are building a new AR-15 and accuracy and reliability are at the top of your checklist, then check out the Criterion Hybrid line of barrels.
Features:
- 12.5” barrel with .223 Wylde chamber
- Hybrid barrel contour
- Chrome lined and hand lapped bore
- 1:8 button rifled twist
- Carbine length gas system with .750” diameter
- Dimpled beneath the gas port
- Weight: 1.65 lbs
This Criterion AR-15 barrel also features a dimple beneath the gas port for set screw style gas blocks. This makes sure that the gas block is securely mounted and won’t move around while firing. This barrel is made from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel and has a parkerized finish. This Criterion Hybrid barrel is built to withstand years of heavy use while providing exceptional accuracy.
Criterion Barrels are known for building high quality, precision AR-15 and AR-10 barrels as well as barrels for older firearms like the M1 Garand, M14, and Lee Enfield. Their barrels are used by the US Army Marksmanship Unit Action Shooting Team and the US Marine Corps Combat Shooting Team and are proven to win matches time and time again.

Exceeded my expectations
I've been assembling ARs for the past 20 years or so. In terms of general use barrels, meaning some sort of standard profile and not bull, I've used most out there. In recent years I've defaulted to the likes of BCM, Ballistic Advantage and Faxon. This was my first Criterion barrel. I figured I'd try one. I've gotta say, it truly is the most accurate barrel for practical use that I've ever had. I'm not saying that it is precision match grade accurate. I didn't test it for that, but it does put 5 rounds of trash M193ish ammo into an inch at 50 yards. When using half way decent ammo (Frontier 55gr HP at about 60 cents a round) it put 5 into 1 hole at 50 yards. What can I say? This is the first dury grade barrel that has excited me. What's funny is that it almost shrugs off heat. Groups don't open up like they do with most barrels. I just can't say enough about this barrel. Get one. You won't be disappointed.
Finally Got A Criterion Barrel
I've heard about Criterion barrels for years. I own many other AR rifles and pistols but this is my first one with a Criterion barrel. I haven't got to shoot it yet because it is +10 F outside with heavy wind since I got it, but I know when I do it will be everything I had heard and hoped for. You can tell it is a high quality piece. The bore has a mirror shine to it and it came well packaged with attention to detail. I'm wanting to buy a few more Criterion barrels in different configurations and lengths as soon as AR15Discounts.com gets more back in stock. They are extremely popular and sellout quickly.
