Hey all, like the title says, I'm looking for your barrel profile recommendations. I'm building a ATRS MS so the barrel will be 18.6" in length. Any input is much appreciated.
 
The answer entirely depends on your intended use for the rifle. Bench/varmint rifle with 24x scope? Might as well go heavy profile. Walking/brush gun with a red dot or 1-4, shed some weight with a light/pencil profile.
 
My MV had a proof research Carbon fibre wrapped and my MS had Christensen arms Carbon fibre wrapped.
Both were awesome.
My next MS , I’m going to try an IBI
 
Faxon 18.6” Gunner Profile. It’s more rigid than a pencil barrel and lighter than a government profile. They are nitrided inside and out so durability isn’t a concern. With nato ball it was just as accurate or maybe slightly better than my DD 16” barrel.

I’ll post a pic in a bit.

I was looking at the gunner but I was having troubles finding it in the desired length. What retailer did you get it through if you don't mind me asking
 
If i got an 18" gunner, and had a muzzle device welded to it as to be permanently attached, would that make it a legal NR length rifle? (as long as its over 18.6")?

They consider the barrel to stop where the rifling stops when measuring barrel length, muzzle device does count for OAL but that doesn't affect anything in your case.
