So what configuration changes do they make to take off the 5 oz or so off the regular midy to get the lightweight middy?

OK, so I am new to AR's and the forum, but is the only change a 'pencil' barrel? That's all my untrained eye can see.
barrel is milled off forward of the front sight, right behind the front sight some material was taken off. While it is only 5 oz, its 5oz that was at the end of the barrel, shifting the center of balance of the upper much more towards the user. So it feels a lot less heavier

Here's hoping more BCM uppers come back in stock, or else I'm going to have to start exploring the fun world of putting uppers together.
I just did two lines of powdered wig powder, cranked up some Lee Greenwood, and recited the BoR. - Outlander Systems

Could the slimmed front barrel introduce heating/accuracy issues after repeated firing?
on a semi automatic, doubt it. It took a while to burn out a govt profile on repeated automatic fire
Weren't the M16A1 barrels pencil profile? Those seemed to hold up pretty well.
