The next 2-3 uppers that I plan to get are LW barrel profiles. The CMMG Light Weight uppers look pretty appealing. Any reason not to love them? They appear to be top notch. Sometimes I wonder though if I will be sacrificing any thing (reliability wise) with going with the LW profile barrels as opposed to something heavier? If it helps I was thinking the 14.5 LW CAR, LW MIDDY, and 20" LW RIFLE uppers. Thanks, ~Dj |
| There is no problem with lightweight barrels. Go get the uppers you want. Heavier barrels are only good for full-auto because they don't heat up as fast, of course they also take longer to cool down as well. I love lightweight barrels, it was the original M-16 design. |

Ask anyone who owns both which one they would rather use in a move and shoot, multi-target situation. As far as reliability, I don't think you'd find any differences. If you think you'll have to pry manhole covers up with your barrel, you might want to go with a very heavy barrel. |
