My intended use is three gunning and range time. I do not carry the weapon for any form of work but want something built to last. I want to get about a 30k round count out of the rifle. I know that the entire Vietnam war was fought with A1 pencil barrels so that inspires some confidence.
I just think we are getting back to opinions again, IE the possibility of suppressor issues. I would like to see some viable evidence that it is could have issues the heavy does not have. And correct me if I am wrong but isn't the heavy barrel necked down after the receiver to a pencil diameter and the increases back to heavy after the gas block?
Anyone had any warping issues due to heat? Anyone with a high round count like 9 or 10k?
I am pretty set on the light weight as I can't imagine Daniels Defense would put their name on something that would fail so easily. I just want to see a post from someone that has had an actual failure. Not trying to argue just discussing.
