thanks wolf. one poster said the upper was between his middy and a LW in weight. another said it was about equal to his 14.5".
this all tallies with the posted weights of the barrels themselves as posted by Spikes but I wonder about the weight spread. they have the gov't. countour, the Optimum, and the lightweight barrels only about an ounce difference from each other. my BCM gov't. and LW middies are almost 5 ounces difference...

I'm so used to FAL's and M1A's and old bolt guns they all feel like nerf guns to me, I dig it. If nobody ever measures the thing for you I'll get my caliper from the shop and do so sometime this week.
I was all ready to go and then this happened, I was pretty upset. Thankfully Robb Jensen works close to me so he got the cleaning rod out for me. THANK YOU Robb!
(Ammo: WPA 55grn. at 50 yards). After realizing I wasn't going to get any better groupings on this day I decided to do some shooting drills (25 yards and closer). Shot fine and love the mid-length profile. I also shot a box of XM855F, groupings on this stuff was worse than my WPA lol but like I said I had an "off" day and could not hold a steady group. I shot 200 rounds of WPA 55grn. and 20 rounds of XM855F. All shot fine with no hiccups.
