What is the difference between a USGI barrel and an H-barrel? Does the H stand for heavy? Is it just weight? I am getting a BCM wich is USGI and the reason I ask is because  In the BCM  discription they mention H-barrels are heavier commercial barrels. Now I'm wondering if my Bushamster  has an H-barrel and how much of a weight difference there is?

Yes, H is heavy. My bushy has an H bar its a heave SOB. Mine is a V match from Bushy.

No sure on the 16 inch, but on my 20 inch there is a massive difference in weight. I have a normal 20 and my Hbar is a very noticable difference.

Good to know. Another reason to look forward to the BCM.

I used to have a 16" HBar on my AR.. Swapped it out for a 14.5" gov't profile with perm brake. My rifle dropped 1.5lbs because of the swap
