Spikes CHF mid-length also by FN
After reading the PSA CHF upper thread, I found this article which highlights the new Spikes Tactical CHF 16" mid-length.
Spikes also marks their barrels with "FN" and seems to tout that relationship. These new barrels also have the optimum profile, which looks to be similar to the Noveske profile.
Does anyone know about the actual barrel dimensions?

The Heart of the New ST Elite Mid-Length upper is the FN Cold Hammer Forged barrel.
These Amazing CHF barrels are extremely durable with a 20,000+ round service life, yet they capable of shooting a 1/2 MOA group @ 100 yards with Quality ammo, Optic, and shooter.
These CHF barrels are turned to ST’s New Optimum barrel Profile. This New profile is lighter than government profile but beefier than a lightweight profile, it’s an “Optimum” profile.
The barrels utilize a Forged F-Marked A2 front sight base which is taper pinned to the barrel (perfectly straight) in the Mid-Length location.
The barrels have a .750″ gas block seat with a properly sized gas port and the muzzle is threaded perfectly concentric with 1/2×28 threads.
These CHF barrels are made to the Mil-Spec for the M249 SAW. The barrel blanks are the correct Certified CMV material and they are also Hard Chrome lined to the M249 SAW Mil-Spec, which is almost twice as thick as the Hard Chrome on a Mil-Spec M4.
Each barrel is HPT and MPI.
They have Mil-Spec M4 barrel extensions, Mil-Spec Phosphate finish on the outside (under the front sight base as well).
These New ST Elite uppers also include a Forged charging handle, Nickel Boron M16 HPT/MPI Bolt Carrier Group, Magpul MOE Mid-Length handguards, Melonited gas tubes, and the New ST-T1 buffer.
