    I believe the ArmaLite Middie barrel is almost exactly the same diameter from the center of the barrel behind
    the FSB, all the way out to the front end. This is how my Middie was configured, and I believe it is still the
    same way today. I really like this config. and I also liked the Denny's Operator barrel before it was
    apparently dropped.

    Thank you for correcting me Molon.

    I assume this comparison is to Colt's M4 barrel right?
    We miss you, AC.

    Just as an aside, the Centurion CHF CL 16" lightweight barrel made of M249 barrel steel weighs 0.9 ounce more than the Govt Profile / Noveske Profile barrel.

    I guess you can always make that cut-out useful by puting a 37mm flare launcher under it. Now you'll be the cool kid on the block as you yell out "say helloh to ma little frend!"

    I've got a complete lower ready for an upper. It will be a complete BCM 14.5" middy with the lite-weight barrel and pinned FS. Looking for maximum in SHORT and LIGHT on this next gun.

    All the contract barrel makers are churning out M4 bbls so it makes sense that they get bought up and used to assemble civvy guns. Change one little feature and it reduces profits, so they buy that which is mass produced. Plus so many buyers going with th cool factor, as already mentioned.
