Maybe I missed it. Weight on 16" middy lightweight?
Wes- The ones on my website are of the mid-weight I hope to have pics up soon of the light weight. The pics in this post are of the light weight barrels. If we do the 14.5in it will be a cut down version of our 16in light weight so it will be a mid length gas system. If you want a smith to cut it down that will work to I know there is a debate weather chrome will flak or not but after talking with a couple reputable barrel hard chrome shops they assure me this is not an issue with the hard chrome they use for barrels.
Light weight
12.5in--1lbs 5oz
16in----1lbs 9.9oz
Mid wt
16in---1lbs 15oz
The light weights are gov profile under the hand guard and step down to .680 in front of the gas block. The mid weight is .750 under the hand guard and .740 in front of the gas block.
Thanks

Thanks for the info, Monty! I will definitly be ordering a 16" barrel.
As for the 14.5s....are you reasonably sure you will produce these? Any idea of a time frame?
I am also interested in a lightweight, shortest carbine I can get without having to mess with NFA stuff. But since getting a middy 16" I can't go back to a carbine gas system unit. Monty, if you make a 14.5" LW with the same specs as the 16" LW you listed above, I will buy two. I don't much care what flash suppressor gets permanently attached.
new website looks great !

Wes- Yes we have so many 16in barrels we will cut some of them down in batches to 14.5in now that I'm sure cutting a chrome barrel is not an issue.
Impact- thanks!
Bio-I will be gone to shot this next week but as soon as I get back I'll start working on getting this done.
Thanks
Monty
Hey Monty thanks for keeping us informed! As soon as you get those barrels chopped, I want one!
And I'll spring for two along with Wes' order. Best wishes at SHOT.
Thanks guys will get on it when I get back from shot I'll just do a batch of 20 or so I'll also try to get a few built up and get pics.
Thanks
Monty
