[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 16" Light wt. flattop

Posted: 7/14/2003 5:18:47 PM EDT

I have been reading the posts on lightweight barrels and I need some info on a configuration I would like to have.

Here it is:

16" light wt. barrel chromelined
Flattop upper with mid-length handguards, like RRA has.

Does anyone know if these are made or would it be a build.

Thank you

WestWind, unfortunately, neither RRA nor Armalite make this config. If you don't mind 1/9" twist, you may want to contact CavArms. I think they're having some of the Midlength chromelined LW barrels made for their rifles.

I would settle for non chromelined.

Thank you

I think OLY has a lightweight upper for sale...check their sight.

I know some of the "kit" places like Model 1 sell them. I have the Model 1 catalog...$285 minus bolt/carrier, and charging handle. 1:9 twist, not chrome lined, with target crown. CAR length handguards, though.

You may have to do a little searching to find a chrome lined lighweight barrel...I've looked around a little, but haven't seen any.

Bushmaster sells light weight chrome lined pencil barrel assemblies.
