Colt lightweight profiled barrel with A2 FS would be my pick. Most of the muzzle jump in an AR is reciprocating mass anyway.

20in. pencil bbl. or complete upper would fit the bill.
I have 2 an they are lighter than my fluted 16 and mid/wt. midlength. Longer sight plane and softer recoil pulse.

Bushy lightweight 16" w/ y comp muzzle break, they are louder than a flash hider but they work very well for their intended purpose.

If you get a collapsible stock to adjust the LOP for her, and maybe a vertical foregrip, she can lean into the gun and it won't hardly recoil at all.

Colt 6520 Upper would be a good choice, available in the EE from Gundealer3 a.k.a Police Supply

I guess I am leaning toward the 20" "pencil" barrel also. Seems like JT has that profile. I have heard good things about the Y Comp. I wonder how it compares to the Miculek or Smith comp.

Barrel, Bushmaster superlight 16". Try it with the standard A2 flash hider before you sink lots of money into a comp that may make it to loud.

AGREE 100% ON ANY COMP, EVEN OURS. TOO MUCH NOISE WOULD BE A SURE WAY TO SPOIL A NEW SHOOTER'S EXPERIENCE.
THAT BEING SAID, OUR M.S.T.N. QC BRAKE IS QUIETER THAN ANY OTHER BRAKE. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE PHANTOM 5C2 IS FAR QUIETER ON A 10.5" THAN A STANDARD A2, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE. I CAN'T SAY IF IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON A LONGER BARREL. WES GRANT M.S.T.N. |

Not too concerned with the noise as my wife is an experienced 3 gun shooter. The 20" HB is too heavy for her. Just need a good comp to reduce the muzzle rise with the light barrel.

I suggest the ultrlight profile 16" with collapsable stock as well. You want the fornt end as light as possible.

Check out the CDNN M16 uppers, they are the pencil barrel 20", and are very light weight. If you mainly shoot 55 grain, they are a great buy. |

+1. I did this and put it on a LMT lower with a Colt CAR stock and let me tell you, that is one light and handy setup. Quick to mount, and easy to manhandle (or womanhandle as the case may be). Only negative factor is how quickly the barrel heats up. But, it cools quick too. |

length of pull contributes more to balance than barrel weight. make sure her stock fits and install a 16" A1 contour.

Any thoughts on the Cavalry Arms 20" upper? Seems to have a lightweight barrel profile.

You could try an Mgi Qcb and an abs cf barrel with those you can have a 5 pound rifle.
