george_995 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Any updates on the 16" barrels w/ rifle gas? going to cross post on FB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criterionbarrels Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 We just finished modifying the prints to accommodate a 16" rifle length model for both our .308 AR and AR-15 line. We're also doing some research to see if we can add barrels to production (18" and 22") that can be configured for S&W and Armalite pattern rifles as well. Those 16" rifle length barrels should be entering production shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where will these Barrels be available ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 An 18" in the Armalite pattern you say? Hmmm......now you've got my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 An 18" in the Armalite pattern you say? Hmmm......now you've got my attention. What , you would contemplate a purchase of a part other than from Armalite ! Blasphemy <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_995 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I would be interested in a 26" .260 remington barrel as well for the 308 platform. I know criterion offers a 24" 6.5 creedmore, but the 260 would be more in my favor because of brass and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Would a 16" rifle gas in .308/7.62 cut down to 14.5" work ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Would a 16" rifle gas in .308/7.62 cut down to 14.5" work ??? It should. It's all about parts compatibility at that point. In theory, if the gas tube fits, it should work. I'm waiting for some entrepreneur to make a 13.7" with a micro gas block at the rifle length, then permanently cap it with a KX5. WarSport got a 12" 5.56 barrel to fire with a mid length gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Would a 16" rifle gas in .308/7.62 cut down to 14.5" work ??? You'd come close to running out of room to mount a gas block. It would be tight, probably won't go. Here's the Criterion/Fulton 18.5" rifle gas .308 barrel, for comparison - imagine another 4" gone from the front: I'll find the bare 16" and post it up. Small pic - I'll try to find another one, or we enlist the help of SS... :)) Edited March 1, 2015 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Would a 16" rifle gas in .308/7.62 cut down to 14.5" work ??? I'm not sure you'd have enough dwell time. Maybe if you had a muzzle device that boosted back pressure a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I put a faux gas block on my 14.5" dissipator. There was about 1.5" of barrel meat to clamp on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm not sure you'd have enough dwell time. Maybe if you had a muzzle device that boosted back pressure a bit. Alot of guys said the PUG 15 wouldn't cycle, either, and it ran like a champ. I'd bet this config would do the same - there's alot of gas pressure in the .308 Win rounds. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2011/08/13/ar-15-hacksaw-pug-15/ http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/543391_Introducing_the_andamp_quot_PUGandamp_quot_.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 One would think there were more efficient ways to cut a barrel, than with a hacksaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 You might have to open up the gas hole a bit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) 16" HB by Criterion with rifle length gas system . Getting a chopped down barrel to work with a rifle length gas system is just a matter of the right combo & weight of the moving parts . You can only get so much gas volume through a normal size gas tube . Edited March 2, 2015 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 ^^^ I don't think there's enough distance there, to lose 1.5" from that, and still get a gas block in there. Even a short gas block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
