Anyone know of a good lightweight barrel that is reasonably priced? Building an AR for the wife and need a 16" lightweight barrel that she can handle that will handle A2 spec reloads. I would prefer one that I can put a flip up front sight on.

I don't know about reasonably priced, but I built one for my wife, 14.5 superlight with a pinned vortex by CMMG...lightest you'll ever get...and great for my wife....

I was thinking about a 16" Bushy Lightweight with a Precision Reflex flip up front sight gasblock and a simple aluminum free float.

I have a DPMS light weight and a J&T light weight. Can’t go wrong with either. The DPMS was purchased through Del-Ton. You might also look into Bushmaster.

I just got a 16" Super Light 1/7 barrel from Bushmaster.

Tried to order a superlite from Bushmaster a month ago and was told it'd be another 5 weeks.  I think that they are on terminal backorder.  I found a chrome lined SL at a gunshow this weekend for $220 and went ahead and got it.  I went to the Model-1 table and they had them there as well so the should be in stock for mail order.

My cousin just ordered one from this guy, he has them in stock and about $5 cheaper than direct from Bushmaster.  GDS

are you looking for a barrel only or a complete upper?

I got a complete lightweight upper from Del-Ton. It is nice and light.

They probably have the barrel in stock, just not on their site yet. If you call them, they can probably hook you up.

Click on the J&T banner up above.  I just purchased a lightweight 16" barrel from them for $194.   I got the Chrome lined barrel, you can get the non-chrome lined one for $144.

I already emailed him last week and he was out with no ETA.  Or, that's what he told me.
