| What are the pros and cons in getting a light weight barrel besides the weight??? Do they get hotter than normal??? |
|
well I'm on a tight budget and, I was thinking about doing one of these kits for my first AR. model1sales.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=KCE16LM&storeid=1&image=car16prelwm16.gif&CFID=32162341&CFTOKEN=86325168 what is your opinion? |
I think it would be fine. I'd spring the extra $ for a Chrome Lined barrel with 5.56 NATO chamber, better feeding, ejection, and EZ to clean. I have a light weight 16" bushmaster barrel and I really like it. You may want to spend the $35 for a float tube with bipod stud this takes all the pressure of a sling off the barrel for a bit more accuracy. |

A very good friend of mine started with a M1sales kit. His only complaint was the handguards being "flimbsy." And he ordered a kit without a Bolt and Carrier group, so I can't comment on those. Check out Delton (one of our board sponsors) they have a great rep. here on ARFCOM and their prices will be similar. |
