I have only seen Criterion barrels on internet sites. I don't own one, nor have I seen one in person.

Criterion barrels are in the 'white'.

CMP jobs are left in the 'White'. I believe they will install sights, if provided.

If they send barrel out for 'bluing', the action gets blued, too.

It's nice to have the CMP option. I'm sure customer satisfaction varies.

It would be nice to have a craftsman who currently specializes in Krag re-barreling.
