They make some decent items but a spec built rail isn't one of them.

Dec 7, 0 Salt Lake UT. Nice barrel, but probably too heavy for this one. I've got that ground covered with other builds. I should have said that I am trying to keep the weight down a bit on this one. The lightweight choices i would look at first are out of stock, though any barrel that weighs in like a government profile barrel would be lighter than anything I currently have.

To be fair my bcm has seen considerable mag dumps, and neglect.
