I asked that same question over at the Bushmaster sub-forum in the industry section but received no response yet. I just broke down and bought an Enhanced FDE off of GunBroker from DBI Guns. GunBroker was the only place I could find one.

Whatever happened to the updated lighter-weight version?

If you're talking about the Remington version then it was never going to be sold to the public. However, if BM ditches the M4 profile barrels for their newer profile on the complete factory rifles then it should be lighter. I don't know if they're planning to do that though. |

Bud's has at least one black basic in stock. I'm waiting for more FDE to come back in stock anywhere. They need to release a pistol version and price it around $1200-1300.

Nope, the new production 16" barrels are still the same M4 profile with the M203 notch. The only change was to the twist rate; ALL lengths, weather on rifles or the barrel kits, are now a normal 1/7 twist instead of that weird 1/9. The 14.5" and 10.5" barrels are the only ones with a narrower non-M4 profile. Quote HistoryQuoted:

However you still might see some old barrels floating thru inventory with the cutout. |

I would get a pistol FDE in 10.5" tomorrow if available. |

The new production barrels do not have the M203 cutout. However you still might see some old barrels floating thru inventory with the cutout. Note that if you're basing your statements on the pictures of the barrels on the Bushmaster website and in their catalog, those pictures aren't what the barrels look like at all. |
