So here is the thing, I have a Colt H-Bar barrel, 16 inch, I just put a rail system on the rifle, and changed out the stock, and so forth.

I am finding that the front of the rifle is really heavy.

So was wondering if getting it fluted or having the barrel profile changed to lighten it up a little would help.

The thing about this change, that has me worried is how does this affect the barrel overall?? Round count on the barrel is low, not even 100 rounds yet through the pipe.

Would like to get it lightened up. Or just buy a new Colt barrel???
