I have a 16" bull barrel upper that I'm am going to have recontoured and I can't decide what size to go with. I want to save some weight, this sucker gets heavy to pack. What contour would save the most weight while maintaining accuracy?

Thanks,
Toby

medium is a good profile. light enough to pack around, still heavy enough to drive tacks. ive got a medium on my recce, which is my pack around gun.

here's a good chart. http://ar15barrels.com/profiles.shtml

why go to all the trouble of having it turned? just get a new barrel and save the heavy for a target build or something.
