I understand, just throwing you an option. Please let us know what you end up with.

Faxxon makes an 18”, .308, pencil barrel that weighs 1.97 lbs that I’ve been looking at to reduce weight and length on my AR. I use it mainly for hunting. It has a 20” tube on it now that is too heavy and too long for my hunting style.
