What I'm considering in a re-barrel is a 23" fluted barrel, leave the last ~4-5" unfluted with .575-.6" at the muzzle. I think it will balance nicely, yet remain light and should buy me a few FPS putting a 180 BT/AB at just over 2800 (nice round number). I'm also playing with the idea of making a carbon fiber mag box. The stamped steel bothers me.
