Any pro/con for either? They both seem like a solid choice for a 14.5 or 16 inch AR
*SS over chrome because these seem to be the options for intermediate gas lengths, this vs a midlength CHF is another topic

I'll add a follow up, what about throwing a douglas into the question, if its centurion/MK12 that speaks highly of it
I only have direct extensive experience with the MSTN Custom Noveske 16" 1:8T 416SS ILGS and the BCM 16" 1:8T 410SS MLGS... both are Phenomenal... flip a Coin. However, the ILGS is def. smoother and softer. Forgot to mention, also really liked the Krieger 18" in the KAC LPR I had... very soft, smooth and precise as well.
Douglas are stellar as well, along with Bartlein and many others.
Might I inquire as to what the intended purpose is?

Certainly, and I should have been more detailed initially.
A recce or mk12 style rifle.
Either purchasing something like a SS noveske or bcm upper, or using a Douglas blank already owned, but exploring options
Something like the 1-6 razor optic
Take a look at our latest 16" barrel. Made from 416R with a .223 Wylde chamber.

I have used Criterion barrels on my last two rifles. Fit, finish and accuracy are all excellent. I am very happy with them and will continue to use them on future builds.
For the $$$ the Criterion barrels are outstanding. Have used them in both 223 and 308 with fantastic results. My experience is with the 18" hybrid profile rifle gas, which provided excellent accuracy for a rack grade chrome-lined barrel. I have also used Noveske but the value wasn't quite there if that is a consideration.
Just in case you're looking for retailers selling our barrels:
We're running our chrome lined models (and some stainless steel options) through Brownells.
Midwest Industries has a number of chrome lined options.
Fulton Armory carries chrome lined and stainless models.
Compass Lake Engineering offers custom stainless barrels with our blanks.
American Defense Manufacturing will be offering a line of Criterion manufactured nitrided barrels shortly.
.5 MOA is consistently achievable with match handloads, sub-MOA should be expected with factory match ammunitions.
If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call!
