Criterion Barrels 20" .223 Wylde HBAR Stainless Rifle Length Barrel - 1520S-HB12

When superior rigidity and heat absorption are needed, the HBAR contour is an excellent solution. The HBAR barrel provides superior harmonics under rapid strings of fire. These barrels are optimized for competition use; however, they are also a reliable option for small-game hunting.

Headspace (the bolt to barrel fitment), must be checked for optimal performance and reliability.  Proper headspace produces consistent chamber pressures and seating depths which results in increased accuracy and reliability, while reducing wear and tear on internal parts and components.
