Well I have completed my build, and now the wife wants to build one up. Since she has a small frame (4'9") I think that we want to go with a lightweight build.
In my research so far I have only found a handful of companies that make lightweight barrels. CMMG, Bushmaster and Model 1 Sales, are about the only manufacturers that I have been able to find. Does anyone have any opinions on any of these barrels? I am leaning towards the CMMG 14.5" lightweight mid length with perm attached Phantom. The down side is the cost ($320).
Does anyone have any experience with a lightweight CMMG Mid length? How much lighter is the LW profile barrels vs a 14.5" YHM diamond fluted or similar "gov" profile barrels?
Thanks
