colt barrel question

[galz71]

I am looking to replace my 20" HBar on my colt MT6700 with lighter barrel. Any suggestions and where to buy

Try Specialized Armament. Finding Colt barrels alone isn't easy. You may even have to sell your upper complete and replace it with a complete upper.

Are you only considering Colt barrels?

If you want a colt barrel someone on gunbroker has a few new m16 barrels made this year. They are expensive though. They are the standard gi profile so they will be lighter. Past that I'd say get a bcm barrel as not many companies make a gi profile barrel in 20 and even less make a lightweight(green mountain does but it is a 1/12 twist).

If you are content with the 1/9 twist, you can send the barrel to ADCO and have them reprofile the portion under the handguards. I had them reprofile this 6601 HBAR to a medium weight.

If you are looking for a 1/7 twist government profile barrel, I've had some success finding them on Gunbroker.
