criterionbarrels Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks Blue109. Just talked to the boss. Pixie dust and glitter coated barrels will be available on April 1st.
criterionbarrels Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 We are working on developing a line of nitrided barrels to accompany our chrome lined and stainless steel models. I believe we're starting with the .308 AR's, but nitrided AR-15 barrels should be coming through the pipeline shortly.
blue109 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 if it wasn't official before...it is now. my next barrel will be from you :D
98Z5V Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 If we can pre-order, we'll scoop EVERYBODY when this is announced on April 1st!!! :hethan:
survivalshop Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 If we can pre-order, we'll scoop EVERYBODY when this is announced on April 1st!!! :hethan: I'm in !
Malig8r Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I'd definitely pre-order a 16in rifle gassed nitride barrel.
criterionbarrels Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Posted March 5, 2015 It looks like we might also have a few 6.5 Creedmoor models in the works as well. I believe those should be ready for release in June or July.
unforgiven Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 ^^^ Could you make a 14.5 .308/7.62 barrel w/rifle gas work ???
survivalshop Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 It looks like we might also have a few 6.5 Creedmoor models in the works as well. I believe those should be ready for release in June or July. So , you will have 16" 308's with rifle gas system at that time also , because if you do , I will hold out for one of your Barrels .
criterionbarrels Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Unforgiven, I believe that's the first request we've received for a 14.5" rifle length barrel. If a market develops for barrels in that particular configuration, then we would be happy to look into adding that option if we can reduce the length and still have enough room to fit the gas block.. Feel free to spread the word, and when enough folks get onboard we'd be happy to get those barrels into production! In response to survivalshop, I know we put the prints together for a 16" rifle length barrel and sent the first batch out to production, but I'm not sure what the ETA will be (we'll have to test some samples to properly size the gas port diameter).

EasyEJL Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 So , you will have 16" 308's with rifle gas system at that time also , because if you do , I will hold out for one of your Barrels .that sounds good to me as well :)
criterionbarrels Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 Just wanted to give you folks a heads up that we added a list of new barrels we have in development to our website media page. I'd post a link, but I'm having trouble getting it to copy to the forum properly.
survivalshop Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) My 16" gas port is real close to 0.1095" & works just fine . ( thats the size I have in my notes , any way ) Edited March 12, 2015 by survivalshop
unforgiven Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks for you'r reply brother.I would like to have a .308/7.62 14.5 barrel w/target crown and AAC breakout device to come out to 16.1 overall lenght.
Malig8r Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for you'r reply brother.I would like to have a .308/7.62 14.5 barrel w/target crown and AAC breakout device to come out to 16.1 overall lenght. Not trying to be douche but I never really understood the 14.5 infatuation with 5.56 let alone a 308 battle rifle. I was always of the thought that pinned and welded anything was effing worthless. Like I said...not dogging ya just don't understand; particularly with the 308 platform. Doesn't a barrel that short limit the velocity achievable? If so, wouldn't anyone that wanted a 30 caliber weapon with a short barrel just opt for the 300 Blackout which is designed to function better at those shorter barrel lengths? Just trying to understand my man.
unforgiven Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) It's about the look brother,here is my 14.5 in 5.56.It has a Battle Comp compensator that is pinned on.Mid-gas.I want the same lenght in .308/7.62 cause I can.If rifle lenght is going to be a problem,mid-gas is ok to.Same setup with full handguard.Should be good for 500-600 yrd. range.I have a Rock River Standard Operator w/ Battle comp to push that pill a little farther. ^-^ Just a game of inches.14.5 will push out far enough for the runners. Edited March 16, 2015 by unforgiven
Malig8r Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Just a game of inches.14.5 will push out far enough for the runners. That's what she said ;) I hear ya...mission dictates weapon choice. Nice 5.56 btw. Very sexy!
unforgiven Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks brother,Lancer lower w/ACT trigger.
98Z5V Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Rene, you are not going to get a rifle gas system on a 14.5" .308 barrel, brother. I hate to break that to you - I've been watching the posts, and I understand your hardon. It's not gonna happen, brother. I hate to be a dick, but it is what it is. <lmao> I'm turning a mid-gas Rainer .308 barrel into a 13.7" barrel, so I can pin it to 16" minimum legal requirement. I will document this and give you pics. God DAYUM, you are stubborn... <laughs>
unforgiven Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Not the first time I heard that brother.... <lmao> so mid-gas it is,aint the end of the world.Looking forward to you report. Rene, I hate to be a dick, but it is what it is. <lmao> . Naw you don't :fawkdance: <laughs>
ChaseFan9 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 16" rifle length .308? I know where I'm going when I build my next upper....
GRA Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 16" rifle length .308? I know where I'm going when I build my next upper.... This does sound tempting.
criterionbarrels Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Those 16" rifle length .308 AR barrels are just about ready! Edited August 4, 2015 by criterionbarrels
98Z5V Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 Damn good looking profile to it - that's such a nice barrel!
