There might be an easier and cheaper way to do this.  Send your "postban" barrel (or complete upper) to ADCO, and have them turn it down to a superlight profile.  That's what I did.  

This was a "postban" Bushmaster HBAR that I sent to ADCO.  They threaded the barrel, and turned it down.  IIRC, the total cost was something like $125.  Their turnaround time is usually about a week, and their workmanship is excellent.

Though I do agree that ADCO does great work, this is NOT one of those times I'd suggest profiling.  If you buy the barrel from Bushmaster ($205) they will install it FREE.  Even if he sells his post-ban barrel for $100, that's still only $105 invested, PLUS he'll have the true .625 FSB rather than a .750.
