The barrel is 20" with a 1/7 twist. Not sure what they actually call the barrel profile as nobody concerns themselves with that in the MIL world. It is heavier than the previous M16A1, but I am not sure if it falls into an HBAR category.

Alaskapoopo,
And you know this how? The M16A2 is still being produced as I saw them at the FN factory in S.C as well as M16A4's. The M4A1 is not the "standard arm" of the Army or Air Force. As a matter of fact there are still plenty of Army units here that have M16A2's and M16A4's and they are active duty. Though they may be wanting to field these as "standard arms" it has not yet happened. I don't know what they Air Force uses as I see only a few of them around here. The Marines are also still issuing the M16A2 in addition to the M16A4. I know this because I was a civilian armorer here in Iraq working on a contract with them in 2005-2006.
Certain units within the USMC also use the M4 carbine as well.
