Im looking into picking one of these up. what are peoples thoughts on this barrel? its Fulton Armory Criterion 18.5" National match in the lightweight configuration and brushed steel... I will be dropping this directly into a DPMS LR-308

I bought one I had to ream the chamber but when I called Fulton they said that was normal. Irented a reamer and did it myself. It shoots better than I do. I put a SJC comp on mine.

I have never reamed a chamber, do I need a large machine for this? I imagine I would need a chamber reamer anyways if i were to adjust the HS

No all you need is the handle from a tap and die and some cutting oil.Then go slow and check your HS often.

I won a criterion 18" 5.56 barrel. I have been very happy with it. I would expect the 7.62 barrels to be just as good.
