| So im looking to buy one of their barrels and cant make a decision. They have a few different profiles pencil, A2, heavy and a "light" barrel. Im looking for some thing along the lines of medium weight. Tried calling but the guy couldnt tell anything other then its a preference thing or they are only a few onces in weight apart. Im thinking pencil is out. Anyone with experience in these barrels can help me out? Thanks |

I had the same question, you might want to check out these threads:

| Thanks guys! I did end up ordering the A2. As best as I could tell its cut like a standard M4 style barrel without the "grenade launcher" cut out. Under the hand guard its cut light weight but maintains the .750 diameter from the gas block to the muzzle. I am a little worried it might dip towards the muzzle but I hope the extra material will allow it to run cooler a little longer. I want to be able to dump mags and then turn around and shoot accurate groups. Perhaps im asking for too much but the price is right! |
