Criterion Pencil 16″ .223 Wylde Midlength Gas Barrel, 1:8 Twist
The pencil contour is made for shooters looking for maximum weight savings to increase mobility.
Its light frame remains balanced and easy to handle when carried in the field. This is an attractive choice for shooters in search of a minimalistic rifle that provides an excellent combination of precision, durability, and weight savings. The pencil contour stays true to the original design intent of Eugene Stoner, keeping the AR15 lightweight and maneuverable.
Headspace (the bolt to barrel fitment), must be checked for optimal performance and reliability. Proper headspace produces consistent chamber pressures and seating depths which results in increased accuracy and reliability, while reducing wear and tear on internal parts and components.
