How many of you are using the criterion 18.5" medium weight chrome lined barrels? What kind of performance are you getting?
I am thinking this is the barrel I want to rebarrel my m1a with.
How much heavier is this barrel over a standard weight 22" barrel?
I have considered the standard weight 18.5" barrel from sei with m80ht, but for the price it's hard to beat the criterion, especially since I want a medium weight.
Also, would you trust a local gunsmith to install the barrel to a sai reciever? He has always done nice work in the past and says he can install the cl barrel, especially since my m1a already has a usgi cl barrel on it. I would also be having him unitize the gas system. The other less desirable option is to send my m1a off to a smith from this site.
