Hey all,
I'm thinking of piecing together an A1 build from a pile of mostly NOS / NIW USGI parts, but I don't want to use my NIW USGI barrel.  Rather, I'd like to use a current-production barrel and came across these from FA:

https://www.fulton-armory.com/barrelfa16m4gicontourcm1x9threadedchromelined-1-2-2.aspx

Anyone here have any experience using these?  Accurate??  Other thoughts on them???

Thanks in advance!

I wasnt aware they made their barrels, but if they do, nothing to worry about. They make good barrels. My life depends on its go to gun has a criterion barrel. It lives propped against my nightstand.

Yes they are made by Criterion so they are good. Their site is somewhat of a hidden source place during panic times.

I have that barrel on my A1 build. I have a Aimpoint on a gooseneck mount on it. I can ring steel all day long at 300 yards. Criterion barrels from Fulton are good to go. If you want a pic of my rifle I.M. me

Thank you, all, for your info.
I definitely think this is the way I'm going to go for the rifle build.

Much appreciated!
