There is a reason why many competitors use bull barreled rifles (not necessarily on the AR); It works. show me some references on your claims and I'll change my statement. If properly assembled, a short fat barrel will out shoot any lightweight barrel of the same length. Granted, all of these is based on what the user wants; if i was shooting 3 gun and trying to carry as little as possible, I would go for a light weight chrom-moly 4150 barrel that was 14.5" to 16". If I was shooting at a match, I would take a 20" heavy barrel that was a national match air gauged badass. As it is i don't shoot 3 gun and I don't shoot at marine corp invitationals. I don't want a .5 MOA tack Driver or a 4 pound twig, I want a light, accurate, hard hitting, robust, compact carbine that will make first shot hits at a 6" inch plate at 300 yards.
