Agreed, but the persistent hard-on for bayonet play might still relegate a lightweight to the days of M16A1's, sadly I hope that's the reason. Why we aren't given lightweight uppers is still a mystery, as is any logical concept disregarded by the procurement mandarins.

Actually that's correct. My Colt commando upper is pencilish in profile.

I have seen more than a few army cots put together using a rifle as a pry bar. My reserve unit had plenty of M16s with bent barrels.

I don't like pencil barrels. Finding the right gas block is a PITA. I don't see anything wrong with normal government barrels.
