About half a pound. It might not seem like much but it really effects the balance and makes the carbine seem even heavier - especially when compared side by side.

Yeah - what he said. I have a fluted 16" HBAR and it feels much heavier than my 20" A1. |

...personally i like the extra weight, makes the rifle easier to hold steady. Plus you get the added bonus of increased accuracy
 . as for balance, the balance point on my rifle is somewhere around the front of the magwell/delta ring area

The difference in weight between a stripped 16" Colt HBAR and a stripped 16" Colt M4 profile barrel is 7.4 ounces.

Not sure of the actual weight diff, but I recently bought a used Bushmaster HBAR "post-ban" carbine upper with an A1/C7 upper, and I am really glad I did--it is very accurate, and the balance feels just right.
This upper is more accurate than the 20" HBAR Bushmaster I used to own. I put 5 rounds in the X-ring at 100 yards using Black Hills red box 55gn FMJ, the target being the NRA 25yd pistol bull my club provides. |
