    ELW barrels are approximately .40 oz lighter than our LW barrel profiles.
    Fluted versions are .75 oz lighter than their non fluted counterparts and more than an oz lighter than our LW barrel profiles.

    The goal was not to make as light as barrel as possible. Reducing the mass of the barrel without regard to heat effects wouldn't yield a better product. We've instead focused on making sure we have material where it's needed and removing it where it's not. Call it optimization of the profile. The result is a lighter barrel with a more rigid center-section that should help reduce heat effects on accuracy and no compromises have been made regarding the durability, longevity or usability of the barrels. Fluted versions will offer enhanced weight reduction with little reduction in the stiffness of the barrel, and increased surface area will help aid cooling as well.

    Man I REALLY need an upper and have been holding off for these kmr13 uppers. Guess it won't kill me to wait 6 more months for the BFH EWL-F version

    I've been waiting for these for so long that the anticipation actually died a little. This is a good thing for me because I doubt I'll have money before the first wave is sold out.

    Still looking forward to the KMR, as it's the only keymod rail that has even remotely interested me. Of course, now I'm wondering if they'll be selling the ELW barrels by themselves also!
