I'm thinking about building another 733 replica.  Can't seem to find any chrome-lined lightweight 11.5" barrels.  Anyone know of a source?

ETA:  My first one had a government-profile barrel, and the thought of it bugged me so much I got rid of it:

J&T

Worth a shot. Only HBAR's pictured though. Curious about the diameter of the barrel under the FSB.

Try Brownells - they advertise HBAR and A1 profile 11.5" bbls.

J&T has chrome lined 16" lightweights

If Brownell's ever gets those in stock it will be a minor miracle...

Brownells got a bunch of Doublestar lightweight barrels in stock this summer.
It took about 2 weeks for them to run out of stock.
I got one for my IDF carbine.
Nice barrel!

My link was to a listing of 11.5" lw barrel. Whether or not they have them is another matter (They claimed to be on their last a year ago) , but that was what Vaar asked for. Though speaking of their 16"  I had one that was cut to 14.7.   Linked. So as to not derail Vaar's thread with random pictures. . I like J&T.

I am on the notify list for those barrels, by the time I got the e-mail they'd run out.

Sounds like 45bravo will be getting some barrel work...

Here is the DEZ Arms off their site.  I've bought other small stuff from them, but not a barrel.  It's a decent price and I have never seen anything negative posted about them, only positive.  They are .625 under the FSB.

I got a J&T 10.5 earlier this year.  Their lightweight barrels are .625 under the FSB.  I still haven't got mine built yet, but it looks good.  I would give them a call and see about the back log on the chromelined barrels.

Thanks for the input guys.  I'm leaning towards the Bushmaster super lightweight or whatever they call it, and having it chopped.  Need to sell somemore stuff first, though.

The DEZ barrels are quality barrels.  I bought one and had it cut down to 10" for my 607 and it is a tack driver at 100 yards.  
I was shocked!
They are great folks to work with as well!
