The Criterion Core 13.9″ barrel in 223 Wylde is crafted for optimal precision and balance. Featuring a mid-length gas system, it provides smoother cycling and reduced recoil. Perfect for tactical and competition use, this barrel provides exceptional performance and reliability.
The CORE Series barrels showcase a modern, continuous taper profile, effectively eliminating uneven diameter variations. This design strategically redistributes steel around the chamber, where it is most crucial for durability and performance. The additional weight around the chamber enhances heat absorption during intense usage, improving the rifle’s balance and bringing it closer to the shooter for better control. This feature is particularly beneficial when the rifle is outfitted with modern tactical accessories such as Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs), weapon-mounted lights, suppressors, clip-on night vision devices, and IR lasers. Although these accessories enhance the rifle’s capabilities, they can also shift the balance by adding weight to the front end. However, the CORE Series maintains a lightweight front end, ensuring swift handling and optimal balance, crucial for quick maneuvers and accuracy.
