    Looking For LightWeight 300 BlackOut Barrel Suggestions 8.5 to 10 inch

    Looking For LightWeight 300 BlackOut Barrel Suggestions

    Right now, the BCM 300BK in 9 inch enhanced fluted is 15oz for $269 as my top contender

    Would like to know if there are any other suggestions out there for a sub 1lb 8.5 to 10 inch Barrel with 1/7 or faster rifling

    Faxon has a 9" "match grade" with 5R rifling. It is what I am considering...

    Those are 1/8 twist, they are about the same weight and around $100 less than the bcm though

    I wouldn't consider the BCM lightweight. Then again, at only 9", lightweight isn't really necessary, imo.

    What do you consider as lightweight?

    I've never shopped for a lightweight 9" barrel, so I don't know what would be considered lightweight. But I have that barrel and when I look at it the first thought that comes to mind is how beefy it is compared to my other rifles (a 16" BCM ELW barrel and an 11.5" BCM lightweight barrel). BCM also doesn't call that barrel lightweight. Like I said, I've never shopped for a lightweight 9" barrel, but I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't that many since a barrel that short is already going to be very lightweight.
