What length, profile, and twist do you have on your SBR's? How is it? Any regrets? Any other ideas?

I have an 11.5" rifle that is an awesome shooter, the only thing I regretted was initially putting a big break on instead of the birdcage. Way too much concussive blast...
Edit: it is a government profile.

But it needs more weight up front to balance it.
XCR Micro and CSA Vz58, both in 7.62x39. Love them both. I think that 7.62x39 is the perfect caliber for barrels under 10". I also have a 10.5" Bushmaster AR in 5.56, which is also a blast.
( I know, I know, the Vz's not really a black rifle...)

Currently building an 11.5 gov't profile 1/7 twist after much research it seemed like the best option.

true, it adds an extra pound or so, but, the upside is the damn thing shoots flat... its a decent tradeoff..............

Awesome! I am kinda surprised that everyone has gone with gov't profile. Why no love for a lighter profile?
Scratch build using 7.5" NEA heavy 1/7 barrel, only thing that has changed since this pic is the BA ambidextrous safety lever...other than that it is GOLD!! (although might try a different muzzle device, as the Warthog throws everything downrange and disturbs no one on the line! 
)
)
For an SBR, I would have to say, a lighter profile barrel isn't really necessary. The only reason would be to save weight...
Come to think of it, I can't think of any 11.5" or shorter barrels that are lighter than gov't profile, or any 7.5" barrels that are lighter than heavy profile.

I think. People have to understand. That Gov profile is a light profile barrle.
Its skinny under the handguard and .750 forward from the gas block

Mine has 10.5 CHF 1/7 twist... Standard birdcage. I've been very happy!
Nothing fancy just an old school Olympic Arms 11.5" 5.56 barrel with irons. Even with the 2 push pins for the upper and lower it shoots incredibly well! I will never sell her had her since the 90s has never jammed.
And of course my practice fun 1022 as being forced to only practice at a range gets old FAST with an AR!!!!
Its got a factory 10".
