What is the difference between the GI and medium profiles? Either way I want the 22" for this project.

GI profile is skinnier and lighter by about a pound. Should be affected by heat faster than a med profile. At least that's what I got by googling the difference.

 

[HerronArms]

Med profile will be same as Krieger med profile which means as large a diameter allowable whilst still using the gi oprod guide and gas parts

 

[CanuckR]

Heavy profile, 22"
Personally I'd chop it to 18.5 but others might not want to.

Another one for a heavy weight 22 incher

 

[TacticalTeacher]

Medium profile in stainless, 22" for me!

Cheers,

Yeah, you can put the butt-plate & heat shield I traded you on it.

So, if you go 'heavy', you'd need to change op rod guide and gas parts? I can't buy one right now anyway, but curious how it works when you change the weight/diameter of the barrel. Where do you get the upgrade parts from? (just for future reference)

 

[CanuckR]

Uses the same gas system, but requires a different op rod guide. Check the Krieger website, they use a clamp on op rod guide, it shows the dimensions of the heavy barrel as well.

Excellent, thanks. I have voted accordingly.

I have bin thinking about m14 in 260 it would be handy for me

 

[the Dakota kid]

.308 (stainless or park) Garand barrels would also be something of interest

 

[Splatter]

I almost voted for the medium profile 22"; but then I thought about the heavy.... I think I'd rather have the heavy. But I'll do everything I can to to support either a medium or a heavy profile.

Maybe also think about making the chamber short enough that 6.5x47 and/or 6.5 Creedmore are options if we don't want to ream it all the way to .260 ?

 

[Ardent]

Med 22", no question, 18.5" would neuter a 6.5.

Gents:

I know that I am late to this outing...

However never the less, I would like one 22" medium profile so it will work with my BF chassis.

Thanks in advance

Was there a final decision on the barrels? I'm sure I'm not the only still interested!

 

[yomomma]

Would have loved to seen a .243 option in a medium.

Would have loved to seen a .243 option in a medium.

Brownells did years ago in .243 win and in 7mm-08, but they have been discontinued.
