To Reprofile or Buy New
so my current active AR is running a 16" hbar barrel by BHW. its a nice, accurate barrel but i plan on going 18" spr which leaves me with a spare barrel. for my next build i wanna go lightweight and shorter to 14.5 or 13.7 (pin & weld). however green mountain barrel sells a 14.5" for about $150 (sale) and if i buy that ill still have an hbar laying around. in turn, i dont want spare parts and wanna utilize all i have however reprofiling, dis/assembly, pin & weld would cost more than $150. so should i just buy a new 14.5" and keep a spare barrel or reprofile the hbar?

I'd never take any material off an already finished barrel. Just sell it and get a new lighter barrel.

Buy the Green Mountain and sell the 16" HBAR.
I never have spare parts (other than maintenance parts) laying around. I always sell my stuff and put the cash toward the next part.Ground Defense 1, Blade Defense 1, Defensive Pistol 1 & 2, Aliance Shoot House, When Things Go Bad, YSINTG, Carbine 1, DART Medical, NRA Range Safety Officer

I would just build an entirely new upper around the barrel you want. But that's just me.

Not even 5 years ago the choices in barrels was pretty limited. 10 years ago it was non-existent. That's when re-profiling was a viable option, and in some cases the only option.
Today, there's no good reason for it. Sell/keep the HBAR and buy the barrel you want.WWW.TACTICALYELLOWVISOR.NET
