I have on order a Noveske 16'' recon barrel in the "standard" contour mid-gas system, it will be shipped to Wes Grant for a precision build. I am having it fluted forward of the gas block and underneath the hadgaurds with 6 "medium/heavy" flutes (as discribed by John himself.) My question is does any one have a reasonable guess on how many ounces that will take off the barrel? Noveske lists the standard barrel at 2 lbs, 4.2 oz. Yes I did ask John how much it would weigh after fluting and he said he didnt know. And no, I don't want a lighter contour. Thanks for the help |

Check this out; Bushmaster lists the weights of their fluted and non-fluted barrels. Just do some subtraction and you'll get a good estimation. Look here |
