sup, bun here. For those who were talking about criterions performance with longevity in mind here's a good video on it.

The reason why you buy criterion is primarily for the way it's gassed and its barrel profile at its price point. As opposed to the more standard
"Government profile" companies push such as DD, Geissele, Hodge etc.
Hodge however is probably the most durable as well as accurate out off all the options with groups starting to open around the 35k mark and beyond.
Hodge is a bit on the lighter side with its gassing but it's most likely because they expect their users to be running it with a suppressor.
Here's a video on someones hodge barrel at 42k rounds. Have a nice night anons.
