From CRITERION BARRELS INC:

Criterion Barrels, Inc. was started in 1999 from Krieger Barrels, Inc. in response to demands of rifle builders and firearms manufacturers for quality match grade barrels at a lower cost. Initially began as a division of Krieger, Criterion is now a sister company- independent, yet sharing resources and continual support.

Over 30 years of experience and expertise go into every Criterion barrel. This experience combined with gun barrel quality steels, our stringent inspections at every process, and Criterion employees’ commitment to quality make a Criterion barrel the best choice for your next barrel.

Our Commitment to OEM and Firearms Manufacturers

At Criterion, we are committed to producing barrels at a reasonable price and meeting the demands of our market.

Since our inception, we have continued to expand our product line to include M1 Garand, M1A, AR15, 1917, 1903, M1 Carbines, and, most recently, Savage and Remington Pre-fits— all are available through the distributors found on the product pages.

Our product development experience has grown with our product line. Please contact us for information about developing a model for you.

Achieving Match Grade

Criterion rifle barrels are match grade. Our 30+ years of experience and shared history with Krieger have given us a true understanding of what match grade means. Uniformity of the bore dimension, groove dimension, and twist, along with the finish produced by hand lapping are essential for the ultimate accuracy of the barrel. With our expertise we are able to control these factors and deliver an unbelievably accurate match grade barrel at a reasonable price.

Colt LE6940P Rifle

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Colt Defense LLC, one of the world’s leading designers, developers, and manufacturers of rifles and carbines, has advanced its one-piece monolithic upper receiver to introduce the LE6940P. This modular carbine has an articulating link piston (ALP) operating system and offers shooters a highly accurate, lightweight and easy-to-clean AR-platform rifle with an extended lifespan.”The new LE6940P puts to use a new, improved version of a piston system that Colt originally pioneered for the US Army,” said David Ridley, Vice President of Colt Defense LLC, “Now, any civilian shooter or law enforcement professional has the opportunity to shoot using this superior piston-operated AR.”

The advanced piston carbine (APC) is a lightweight, highly accurate alternative to the traditional direct gas impingement system found in most ARs. The LE6940P utilizes a unique articulating link piston (ALP) operating system, which reduces inherent stress in the piston stroke by allowing for deflection and thermal expansion. As a result, shooters are offered a highly accurate firing experience and the weapon’s lifespan is extended.

Measuring 35 inches with the stock extended and weighing just over six and a half pounds, the LE6940P was designed to be lightweight to reduce shooter fatigue. A one-piece monolithic upper receiver gives ease in assembling parts, disassembling and cleaning. The 5.56mm, magazine-fed carbine has a semi-automatic rate of fire with 700 to 950 rounds per minute. Chambered in .223 Rem (5.56 x 45 NATO), this rifle has an effective range distance of 600 meters.

A continuous rail from the rear of the upper receiver to the front sight translates to unmatched repeatability for mounting optical systems, not found with aftermarket rail systems. In order to enhance the shooters’ versatility in both close quarters and long range, Colt has also incorporated a back up iron sight (BUIS) and a folding front sight.

“The LE6940P exemplifies Colt’s continued dedication to innovation,” said Ridley, “Colt was the first to put a piston system in an AR, and we have continued to improve on that system since, giving shooters an unmatched edge.”

Bravo Company Manufacturing Gunfighter’s Grip

BCM today introduced the new BCM Gunfighter’s Grip (GFG), a reduced angle AR pistol grip that optimizes fire control ergonomics when employing modern weapons manipulation techniques that incorporate body armor and weapons accessories such as vertical grips, lasers and optics. Selected for “Best of Shot Show 2012” by the Military Times Gear Scout blog, the BCM GFG is an update to the classic A1 and A2 design, bringing the pistol grip to the 21st century where cutting edge fighting techniques are vastly different than those employed in the 1960s when the M16 was first fielded by the US Military. Offered in 2 configurations, the MOD 0 features a slim design, similar in size to the A1 and A2 pistol grips, while the MOD 1 features a high rise back strap. Every BCM GFG comes with two Modular Trigger Guard Inserts that close the gap between the trigger guard and the pistol grip, with one version extended and one smooth, giving further customization options to the end user.

In addition to these ergonomic improvements, the grips also feature water resistant rubber gasket hinged trap doors with internal storage for batteries or other small items.Made in the USA from high quality impact resistant polymers – the new BCM Gunfighter’s Grip will be available in Black, Flat Dark Earth and Foliage Green on Wednesday, April 4 for a suggested retail price of $29.99 (US) for both the Mod 0 and Mod 1 models on BravoCompanyUSA.com.

Colt LESOCOM Carbine

For the first time since the introduction of the iconic and standard-setting M4 in the 1990s, Colt Defense is offering a rifle to law enforcement and civilian shooters as close as possible in configuration to the M4A1 military carbine. The Colt LESOCOM rifle is ideal for any law enforcement officer, marksman or hunter looking for a firearm that is most similar to what is used by the military.

“Only two variations separate this rifle from what we currently package for the United States government,” said David Ridley, Vice President of Colt Defense LLC, one of the world’s leading designers, developers, and manufacturers of rifles and carbines. “The Colt LESOCOM is as close as a civilian can get to shooting the same carbine as those defending our country.”

What differentiates the LESOCOM from the M4A1 platform currently used by the United States Armed Forces is the LESOCOM’s longer barrel length and semi-automatic fire controls. The barrel is 16.1 inches long, and has a rifling twist of 1/7 RH. With the stock extended, this M4 carbine has an overall length of 35 inches. The LESOCOM is chambered for .223 Remington (5.56×45 NATO) and comes with two 30-round Colt magazines.

Standard on the Colt LESOCOM is a Matech® rear back-up iron sight for acquiring distances out to 600 meters, effectively. Also included on the LESOCOM is a Knights™ Armament Rail System, capable of accommodating the user’s preferred optics and accessories at the three, six, nine and 12 o’clock positions.

The Colt LESOCOM features an M4 buttstock, pistol grip and flash suppressor. For left-handed shooters, an ambidextrous fire control selector is standard on all LESOCOM rifles.

The semi-auto LESOCOM has a 16-inch barrel, with these main differences defined by the restrictions for civilian rifles separating it from our military carbine. Colt.com.
