Lightweight AR barrel

[ryroru]

Hey guys looking for a bit of input on a build im starting. I wanna go with a lightweight 16" barrel on this one and so far I've found the B.A.D. Ultra match lightridge and Christensen arms Carbon fiber. I'd like to hear opinions on either of these or suggestions on something else I should look at, thanks in advance.

No experience with those but I'd look at Faxon barrels as well. They seem to have some of the lightest barrels on the market and the price (US retail anyway) is hard to beat.

I've got a 14.5 battle arms lightrigid kn my lightweight build. The quality and finish of it are second to none. Also they guarantee sub moa from their barrels. It's a fraction lighter than the carbon fiber Christensen arms so there won't be much difference between those two besides look as those two are also in. 223 wylde.

I have had no complaints from my time with the BAD barrel on my rifle, and can say they aren't wrong when they say the barrels they make are all sub moa.

Awesome that's quite the endorsement. What's the saying buy once cry once haha, although the faxon does look really sweet it'll be hidden under the hand guard, oh decisions.

I have an 18 inch Faxon barrel. Very light. Got it from Tier 1.

Some more options are the VooDoo Tactical 16.5" ultralight, and Proof Research carbon fiber barrel.

Who sells the voodoo barrels in Canada my Google skill seem to be lacking. 16.5" with a rifle length system seems like a cool idea!

Nobody! You'd have to import one. I agree it is a good idea. Even more surprising, other vendors sell 16" rifle length barrels.
