I am getting famous for these dumb ass questions. Here is another: I hate the profile of the M4 barrel (statement). What is the purpose of the stepped looking barrel? I know that there is some advantages with the feedramp, but what is the purpose of the barrel?

Thanks

If you're talking about the stepped profile between the muzzle & FSB...it's there to secure the front end of a M203.

If you're talking about the tappeing & thin profile under the handguards...it makes for a lighter barrel.

if you are not mounting a 203 then you should get the standard Heavy barrel, the stepped barrel is for that purpose not some poser cool points.

Do NOT get an HBAR...you will hate it. Trust me.

Just get a gov't profile. Skinny under the handguards and normal .750 from the FSB to the muzzle.
