Criterion barrel wait times

[georgeib]

According to their website, they say that the backorder on the 12.5" CORE barrels is 5-7 months. Looks like it's going to be a little while before those are back in. OTOH, the 10.5 and 11.5" barrels are 1-2 months out. If I were the OP, I'd order the 11.5.

These pop up for sale NIB on tacswap every so often.

Saw a few pictures with BCM bolts there.

Not a bad deal at all it seems...

Hmmm, I may buy that. Is there really any difference between a Criterion and a Ballistic Advantage Hansen barrel?

The Criterion has a Chrome-lined, Phosphate finish while the Ballistic Advantage Hanson is QPQ. If going with a 12.3" Hanson, the gas journal is .75 vs .625 for the Criterion. The profile of Criterion has a more constant taper where the Hanson reduces to a near consistent diameter after the chamber. I like the Criterion.

When I ordered a CORE barrel and BCM BCG, Criterion shipped them within the projected lead time.
