Wes1,
How good is your imagination, I have a MRP CQB with a 16" SS. I really don't see that there is too much advance of the 18 or 16 for the CQB. But here's a sweet 16, just think 2" longer.

With the disproportionately heavier 18" MRP barrel (it's much thicker behind the gas block than the 16's), the extra few ouces of the rifle length receiver won't be noticed.

I am debating selling my SPR putting some of the money towards SS MRP barrel and LARUE SPR mount.I have been down sizing my collection, can't shoot them all at the same time.So how do the SS barrels shoot?Are the SS barrels made Rock Creek(Mike Rock)?

I thought only the chrome lined 16" barrels had lighter profiles than the 18" SS models. Do the 16" chrome lined and SS barrels use the same profile?

I thought Wes posted that the 16 SS and CL barrels had the same profile.

I'm not sure, you may be right. The impression that I got was that all the SS barrels were heavier than the chrome lined barrels. Kind of makes sense from an "intended role" stand point.
