I couldn't measure therm, but I saw several at a gun show last week and the FSB/gas block area is definitely .750" while the area ahead of that appears to be close to true pencil barrel at ~ .570". Under the handguards I didn't see.

To add to this...the area under the handguards will be roughly the same profile as a true gov't profile. There usually isn't any difference there depending on the manufacturer, but not all copy the true profile exactly.

The Delton ones are .75 the whole length and that is a couple ounces that I would like to shave off if I could.
