ARCHIVED

Is it the notch for flare launcher?
Thickness of barrel?
Turned down under handguard?

Low profile under the handguards make it government profile.
Current FN M16's are gov't profile (light under handguards) and 1/7 twist, chrome lined.
Bushmaster has the above barrels in a 1/9 twist with chrome lined bore and chamber.

You can order the one from Bushmaster in a 1/7 twist

I think Fulton Armory has them, too.

Thanks for fast replies, I will be ordering a new rifle this week.
All I shoot is 55Gr. so I'll probably go with 1 in 9 twist, but definitely getting chrome lined.

Get the Bushie barrel, in that case. Got one on my A2 clone. Just fine
