1/7 twist lightweight barrel

[armorer327]

Was wondering if there are any lightweight profile 1/7 twist, 20 inch barrels out on the market? Were any made, and are they still available?

Currently, I'm pretty sure not. FN made some a while ago (replacement barrels?), maybe Colt for Canada, and maybe CMMG. 1:7" 20" barrels are really hard to find. 20" barrels in any twist rate are hard to find now. I think current ones are only being made in 1:9" and non chrome lined. You could have an A2 barrel reprofiled.

Believe it or not Bushmaster made a run of them several years ago. I have one. It's part of one of my favorite uppers. Maybe you will get lucky and can google one of those up.....

oops. Mine is a 16in 1/7 light weight

Bravo COmpany USA makes 20" uppers with the Government profile barrel (stepped down under the handguard) in 1x7 twist, chrome lined. This will probably be as close as you will get.

DEZ Arms offers one, but it isn't chrome lined.

Here's a 603 Clone I built last week. About the only things that are actually over a year old are the furniture and FSB. Shoots great.

Thanks for the info, but I think I'm just gonna go the GAU/GUU route on my next project.....plenty of pencil thin 16" bbl's floating around.....

start looking for a colt sp1 barrel. I have an original m16 barrel on my 20" and love it.
