I know dlask has the heavy profile barrels but anybody know if there any remington or other type of 14" barrel with a standard profile?
 
Any of the Dominion/Norinco 14" barrels are pretty thin compared to the Dlask heavies. Benefit of the Rem barrels is that most 14" would probably come with IC or MOD choke instead of CYL like on all the others. Not sure if that matters to you or not.
 
The Dlask barrel is a BIT more robust, but I don't notice any particular weight difference on the gun. Honestly, you have 2 choices, a true Remington barrel, or a Dlask. None of the other aftermarket barrels even come close (don't even get me started about NEA stuff). The Dlask has the meat if you want to go chokes or breacher
 
If you want a quality barrel a Dlask is the only readily available option. Rem rarely show up for sale and no more are coming into country. China barrels are thin and can be out of round. NEA....well go read about them LOL! Dlask are heavier but the profile does not interfere with any fore ends I've tried. I know on mine I have had the speedfeed police style, Rem ribbed wood, and right now a hogue. All of those fore ends fit without having to clearance anything.
 
I put a DLASK 12.5 on my 870, and had to remove a bit off the rem 870P forend to get it to cycle properly. Not much, but some had to come off.
