I have tried using Mentium's products too and never got disappointed with it. They deliver fast and their products are usually as displayed in pictures. Highly recommend them!
Criterion for the barrel. I have 4 of them for ARs and all are shooters. My 308 is a 18” mid. Very happy with it. 2 16” lightweights in 223 Wylde and a 20” in 223 Wylde. Very accurate.
Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.

I've heard good things about criterion barrels. How "accurate" is your 308? To be exact... I have been thinking about turning my AR10 308 into a 6.5 creedmoor. Might think about criterion when that happens...

Faxon makes 16" 308 and 6.5 that are sub 2lbs, these things do get heavy fast, my 308 is 11lbs and my 6.5 is 13lbs, the next build will be lightweight
A thread on building an accurate lightweight 308 or 6.5 AR10 would be cool...
I'm trying to decide on this 6.5 cm or 308.. right now really leaning towards 6.5 cm. I would definitely use psa bcg it has the double plunger boltface on it which is supposed to help with reliable feeding/extraction. I was reading with the 6mm cm this is not as critical and you can use a standard bcg from a 308.. my buddy has a AR10 18inch barrel with can and it looks fine too me.

how would double plungers help with feeding? I'm assuming by plungers you mean 2 ejectors in the bolt face? All they do is put outward bound tension on one side of the rear of the case so it flies out when it clears the port?
No flame at all, just honestly curiuos. Only way to learn sometimes.
FWIW I took my 308 to AK, (bolt) and rebarreled a 243 to 6.5 cm for Carolyn while I'm gone and even when I'm back. A bit flatter and wind resistant, but all in all, I just don't feel there will be tons of difference on game actually.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Yes two ejectors.. Apparently PSA had major issues with the gen 1 BCG's and redesigned it with two ejectors.Maybe the 1 ejector wasn't enough to eject the case? I know some will say it works fine on a 308. Hey I'm just the messenger here . Here is a pretty good video highly recommend you fast forward to the 8:40 minute mark this is where they talk about this BCG. Enjoy.
