16" Midlength; ANY Benefit to Govt. Profile vs Lightweight?
I am researching for my first AR15, and have decided on 16" midlength as the right setup for my needs. After reading dozens of threads here and on other sites, it appears the lightweight barrel profile is quite popular for this barrel length/gas system. I am just wondering if there is ANY benefit at all to the government profile vs. the lightweight? There does not seem to be, unless you are running a bayonet or prying things open with your barrrel; neither of which I plan to do.
