[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Barrel Contour Weight Differences

Posted: 8/20/2012 5:12:21 PM EDT

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the weights of all the various barrel contours (for a 16" midlength)? I'm trying to figure out which one I'd like to use on my next rifle.

Not sure about specs but I can say that I have both a 14.5" government profile upper and a 16" LW profile and the 16" is notably lighter. So much so that I will never buy another government profile barrel again. I don't shoot full auto so why not get a lighter barrel to make you quicker on target and have more stamina.

I know there is a noticeable difference but I am trying to find the exact numbers.

The guy who did this spent some effort, props to him!

You should be able to make a very good estimation from this I would think.

Thanks, I think that has everything I was looking for.

Beggers can't be choosers, but I wish they had pencil barrels on there. Great tool though. Most people don't consider how fast the weight adds up.

Would the 16" Super Light Weight (A1 type) barrel be the same as a pencil profile?

"A1" profile aka pencil is the lightest I have seen on the market.
