What's out there and in stock for .350 barrels? I have a PSA 16" 5.56 that I'd like to re-barrel for Indiana deer season. I figure I'd get going on the barrel and ammo before everyone else does. I'd prefer something with a lighter profile though admittedly I don't know what they usually come in.

I just bought 5 boxes of the Winchester FMJ rounds to get this started.

Bear Creek Arsenal has complete uppers on sale. I have one, haven’t shot it much but it’s been reliable and accurate.

I built an upper using a CMMG 16 inch nitride barrel.   The contour is very light and it is a well made and well finished (zero copper fouling)  and shoots well, (1.5 MOA with good loads) and even better with my Mystic X silencer.  I am shooting the Hornady 165 FTX and 170 Interlock at a chronographed 2,225 fps with 24.7 grains of Lil Gun which is .3 grains BELOW the 25 grain Lil Gun starting load published by Hodgdon.  If you are handloading, real caution is the watchword.  350 Legend is the first cartridge that I have loaded for where middle range data was, in my case, simply unsafe.  Bulged cases, lost primers, etc.  It is, however a very mild recoiling, efficient cartridge and it pole axed a nice sized doe for me last season.  I am a fan.

GM is the way to go.  I have several of their barrels and have never been disappointed.  GM verses BCA?  Apples and rotten oranges comparison.  GM all the way.

No problemo. I have interest in the .350 Legend, but have to wait.

What size gas block does this take? Is everything else standard (gas tube, barrel nut)?
Anyone know what barrel profile this is? I'm trying to keep this as light as possible.

That is more of a DMR style profile, not lightweight but remember it has a .355" hole rather than .224" so that will subtract some.  Looks to be a .750" GB journal and carbine gas.
