I used this, partially because I wanted to have a cut down FSB for the gas block. If I recall correctly, Faxon makes these for Brownells.

The stripped barrel is 33.37 oz. The chopped FSB and pins is another 1.69 oz.
Note: I also want to believe that Brownell’s requirements for this barrel are more stringent than something Faxon put out under their own branding. Zero experience, but it seemed that reviews of Faxon products had dipped in the last couple years.
Did you mention barrel length? Though my original intent had been to cut this down to 16”, I forewent that and am appreciating how little the additional 2” actually affects handling in any situation in which I would choose to grab a 308 over a 5.56. Frankly, I think it will bring downstream improvements to my handling of the 12.5“ and 16” carbines.
