I am about to drop the hammer on an order for some barrel work.
I have a Rock River 16" Midlength HEAVY barrel. I want it to have a government profile under the HG. Will a government profile on that area keep the barrel no wider than .750? Or will the barrel be turned down all the way from the .925 leaving a bulge right before the gas block area? Also, on a government profiled barrel, at the slimmest part, what size is that? .625 or .750? |

Under the HG will taper, from the end of the chamber, down to around .625, then taper up a short distance to the .750 gas block. As bigbore says, it will make it balance a ton better, as well as a lot lighter.

Got my16" mid-length done a couple of weeks ago.(computer crashed couldnt post sooner) Nice work and I got it back in days,
BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY the barrel only got reprofiled for 7" instead of the full 9" out to the fsb! It left a long chunk of heavier barrel right behind the front sight that doesn't feel like it balances as it would have. |
