Personally, after a long day there isnt a huge difference betweehn M4 profile and heavy barrel with a 16 inch barrel.
If you are talking 20 inch barrel there is a significant difference. It also depends on if you will have a rail and accessories on the barrel. W/O accessories I do not mind a 16 inch heavy barrel. But start adding stuff and weight really becomes a factor. |

i currently have a 16" AR with Arms SIR a vert grip and bipod and it gets heavy shooting off hand after a while. i wonder how much weight i would be saving from the medium profile vs the Hbar profile on an ABS bbl |

Go heft some around for a bit and make your decisions then.  ETA: sorry for the mistaken idenity! I've heard and read some good stuff bout Denny's recon barells, but didnt he just come out with a different one as well? Dont pass up Adco or JTAC either. They both have some good deals on a mid-weight mid-length barells.

Since no one yet makes a skinny midlength 16", I ordered a Sabre Government profile midlength, and will have the barrel in front of the gas block milled down to .625". Sweet!

Not really a "pencil" (I HATE that tag!)
Standard lightweight is .575"...I feel the .625" will handle the heat better and reduce walking during long strings of fire, while still being "lightweight"... |

Here's some confirmation for you about the weight of the ABS Carbon-Fiber HBAR barrels.
This one is a complete 16" ABS Carbon-Fiber HBAR, built on a Mike Rock 6-groove SS match barrel blank, with a PRI flip-up front sight, PRI QC Muzzle Brake, and there's even a gas tube on it, even though you can't really see it in the photo(but if you look real close, you can see the tip of it behind the barrel extension). 2 pounds on the nose!  Also for clarification, since I see some vendors claiming some low weights on their "BARE" barrels, let it be known that our "BARE" barrel(w/extension) weighs 1.4 pounds in 16" length, and the FSB, muzzle brake, and gas tube are adding this extra weight to the barrel to make it come in at 2 pounds, COMPLETE. |
