Fek! I just paid over 400$ for a criterion 308 barrel..

Good to know if I need another barrel though!

So these fit in normal (ie not shortened) garand stocks/etc?

Wooot! Too bad your selection of other garand parts is a bit thin right now.

No new Garand production since the 1950s, so not surprising.

Worry not - Criterion > Citadel.

Criterion are premium barrels and are what Fulton and LRB use. They are made on the original Springfield Armory (the military one) machinery and won;t need the shoulder set back to index.

Citadel is the bargain line from Krieger - they take a ton of shortcuts compated to their flagship barrels and they are NOT the equal of a real Kreiger match grade bbl. Most Krieger and citadel barrels DO need a lathe to install correctly, their shoulders are usualy 5 thou too long, which they say they do on putpose for people with receivers that are slightly out of spec.

Both criterion and citadel are OK barrels, but I prefer Criterion personally. Criterion also usually costs more.

+1 , shortened ?

I've installed about 8 of these barrels and only ever had index issues with a Winchester receiver. Unless something has changed from the last batch, they are full-length, short chambered.

Maybe they've improved then since I last used one. Either way, even if you get one that's under-indexed, it's an easy thing to remedy in a lathe. Over-indexing, on the other hand, is harder to fix.
