    If the barrel profile is thin, you gain rigidity without weight.

    that was one of the reasons that came to mind, is it commonly done to barrels with some reliability?

    Are you having problems with the barrel you have?

    Adding carbon will make it heavier.

    No. I 'm just thinking about how to shave weight on a Steyr AUG barrel.

    I don't think anyone offers that as a service. You would probably have to have one custom made. But, like LockenLoad asked, why?

    Again, adding carbon won’t shave weight. Or are you planning to turn down the existing barrel? Seems like a lot of trouble and expense. I’d recommend pushups.

    And yet once again- https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...Build-AR-Forum

    To all concerned.

    The custom build area is a place to show off/discuss and ask questions and get feedback about your completed custom build (this means a completed AR that is functional and already completed). If you are going to post pictures of your build, please post a complete picture not just your parts, partial lowers, etc....

    Also, buying an upper separate and then a lower and throwing them together does not constitute a custom build. It would be nice if you took time to explain how you came to your decision and explain your set up. Thanks.

    If you do not follow the guidelines and your post disappears it's probably because it was moved to the trash or deleted.
