I am now debating on the type of barrel for my m110 "clone".
DPMS lower DPMS upper (low, new gen) DPMS rifle length quad rail DPMS LPK Magpul grip (FDE) CavArms C1 stock (FDE) The Criterion barrels from F-A look like they are priced right and a decent value. I have Criterion barrel on an 1903A3 sportster and a re-barreled M1. If I have the barrel and upper/lower/handguard cerakoted in FDE, do I want plain stainless or "grey"? Any help is appreciated. |
| I had one in 6.5cm, it was a hammer. I have had several criterion prefit for savage and a couple remage barrels, they all shot lights out and cleaned up as good as my kriegers and bartliens. Also they seemed to be fast barrels, my 6br with 105@2925 and 243ai sent 105@3280, for instance. I would go with the target grey, more subdued then the polished version, and would provide a better surface for paint. |

I am curious about the grey finish, since the barrel will get a 120grit blasting before the Cerakote is applied... I'll ask my refinisher what he would recommend. Not worth spending $20 on surface prep if its not going to be needed. |

I just got my F-A barrel yesterday and mounted it on my DPMS upper. WOW!!! It has some heft to it.
The chamber and bolt were not "matched" from a single source but headspace between them is in spec. 
The m110 profile is lighter than a bull, but, heavier than SPR .... but still managable. This is NOT a "jungle carbine". |
