[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 1931484, member: 5437"] Lighter weight and the bling are the usual reasons - at least legitimate reasons. All sorts of claims are made but all the tests I've seen show similar stiffness for the same weight not size. Another advantage is a lighter barrel with a larger muzzle to seat a suppressor. All that said, now that Bartlein has them I would try one if I can make it work on an application. Their bore would be exceptional. It could be had with any twist to meet requirements perfectly, 5R,gain twist would all be possible. There could also be some resonance advantages and other gains. It will be interesting to see where it all goes. [/QUOTE]
