One of my favorite moments in this business is when I get an email regarding sponsoring this site from a vendor or manufacturer who’s products we love and use. Glaring examples would be Brownells, Battle Arms Development and Armalite. Today is another such announcement with the addition of Criterion Barrels of Germantown WI. If that name sounds familiar their barrels have been the standard fare on Fulton Armory rifles for years and have been out shootiing much of the competition. Make no mistake this is the “good stuff” at a price that’s the same or only slightly higher than entry level or “select” barrels from the competiton. I encourage visitors to visit Criterion Barrels and keep an eye out at Brownells for some good things. Look for more info to come.
