I'm going to build a new carbine and I'd really like a lightweight 14.5" barrel, permanent attached phantom and midlength handguards but can't find anything like that. I'd even settle for a 16" lightweight barrel with midlenth guards but can't find that either. All the lightweight barrels I find have CAR length guards, and all the barrels with midlength guards have heavy barrels. Am I the only one who want's a lightweight barrel with midlength guards? Does what I want exist on someone's shelf, or am I going to have to have it custom made? |

Here's a 16" midlength stainless barrel with matching bolt from Dennys/GTS. It's a few ounces heavier than an M4 (16"?) but he can flute it if you want to shave a little weight. I'm building one with a YHM midlength freefloating handguard. You could also go with a 9" LaRue. linky |
That sounds like a fun project. An A2 mid length, 14.5 with a perm phantom, with a light weight profile. Maybe even a new lower with an A1 butt stock. Hmmm. |
How bout one with an A2 upper and A2 fsb.. Can the fsb be installed against the FS like a dissy? |
I knew it.  Park tank is on the list of things to do, but it keeps getting bumped down. And work gets in the way all the time also. Worked a double shift last night, looks like Saturday might be a work day also.
