I have not seen any lightweight 7.62x39 barrels on the market, much less a midlength gas 16", though it's been a while since I've searched.
You can get an 18" midlength barrel from Dez Arms (what I have in mine). If you call and ask nice maybe they'll do a custom 16" middy for you? KAK also offers an 18" midlength.
If you want to wait a year and pay for it, this place offers custom barrels in 7.62x39:

There are several options in 16" carbine - Dez and Green Mountain are the two I had noted down.
