How heavy is the RRA SS 16 inch mid length barrel?

[OutlawDon]

I am trying to decide if I should go with the RRA barrel, or a WOA 16" SS light weight contour barrel. I want to go with the lighter one if possible. I believe the WOA is 34 ounces and has a .840" diameter under the handguard. I've read they are both good and accurate barrels, so I am just looking for the lighter barrel of the two. Anyone know the difference in weight?

· Wylde Chamber
· Mid-Length Gas
· Light weight contour ( total weight of 34 ounces )
· Available with Standard or M4 feed ramps
· 1/2x28 threaded muzzle to accept standard .223 flash hider or muzzle brake

This is just a guess from looking at the photos you attached but seeing the larger step down in contour of the WOA barrel in front of the chamber and the fact that the WOA barrel seems to be the same diameter from muzzel to gas block whereas the RRA barrel seems to step up at the FS shoulder seeming to indicate a larger diameter, it would appear that the WOA would be the lighter of the two. That coupled with the WOA's 1x7 twist over the RRA 1x8 would lead me to prefer the WOA of the two. But thats me.
