Can anyone advise of the weight in ounces of a stripped Colt 16 inch Hbar as on the model 6271 Tactical Carbine? Going to replace it and would like to have the weight for comparison. Thank you in advance!

BM says:
Heavy 16" = 2.7 lbs
Fluted 16" = 2.3 lbs
M4 GI 16" = 2.2 lbs

Not sure if those numbers are stripped weight or what.

You could try playing with my Barrel Weight Calculator to determine the weight of any profile barrel.
It's an Excel spreadsheet, so you will need Excel for it to work for you.
