I have been wanting a superlite upper assembly for my bushmaster, i seen one in the local gun store today and it looked a little flimsy. the barrel looks very thin, would the barrel bend easily? would it heat up quickly and warp? it almost looks like a pellet gun barrel. i think i still want one though. im looking for peoples opinions on this barrel assembly. im going to use it for home and neighborhood defense.

I have a pencil barrel AR.  The barrel is not flimsy.

They do heat up quickly (and cool off quickly).

Definately not going to warp with any kind of shooting I do (maybe 10 mags on full auto).

I love it for quick off-hand shots.

Go for it you will be pleased.
