Right now for most people it's more of can you even find a barrel, or one in your price range! As for type, there's many different choices available now in all sorts of configurations and weights. Better to consider around what you plan on actually doing with the rifle and researching what would be best for that.

These are descriptions without fluting Ultra HBAR or bull barrels dont warp almost barely heat up and also can take a while to cool down but you can fire AS MUCH AS YOU WANT very good for accuracy and competition since it getting hot really dosent mater much haha HBAR barrels are like tier 4 as i think about it there what i use a lot and there heavy but not super ridiculously thick and have a good heat to shooting ratio they only get so hot and still hold zero might have 1 or 2 flyers depends on the brand. medium contour which i dont see all that much is the best or average 4 or 5 mag dumps then its hot and will go from ..lets say your rifle is 1 or .5 moa... then it will be 1 or 1.5 moa after CONSTANT shooting possibly just examples could be wrong have to test yourself and all of these examples i mean longer than 2 or 300 yards or at those distances. light weight or the old A2 Gov't profile or the M203 accommodating M4 profile are the same type made for lighter weight for soldiers or marines to carry they have the m203 cut if its an M4 contour or not if its the gov't model these are lighter and give you the more oh cool plastic and lightweight gun yay but loose accuracy at 350 or 400 in my cases if there true lightweights. anything closer probably not juts due to heat and warping also lighter less metal to heat up...less to cool as well assuming its not 90 or 100 degree weather then there is the...Feather weight..idk why anyone would want this ..this is like a #1 or #2 contour barrel from a match barrel maker...1 or 2 shots and your PROBABLY not doing much more accuracy shooting or sighting in that day until 9 or 10 minutes later it cools haha.

@Louvre DeWitt Bukater Neuilly EnLay idk I don't touch m1a rifles they have a tendency to move and walk because of the gas system they don't hold good groups look up 9 hole reviews video on it, they kinda suck compared to an ar10 or another system I don't use them because of that and there finicky with ammo accuracy wise sorry idk but that's a little more than my hbar barrel 20in Grendel so idk

Got heavy barrels on my 18" 5.56, 7.62, and 6.5 but light weight on my 5.56 shortie. The barrel on the 7.62 is fluted as well. Still weighs a ton though. Not a carry around all day firearm.

Anything marketed as HBAR or Heavy Profile. Even the new SOCOM profile barrels by Colt and FN with the M203 slats are legally considered HBAR. They are expensive however. Some say any thickness of .750 behind the gas block is adequate. Could even have it marked HBAR if it was on the fence

Is rifle barrel profile the same thing as barrel contour? If weight is the only factor in profiles, then two barrels with the same exterior dimensions would have a different profile depending on bore diameter. Is that correct?

hey you guys dont answer any questions here? lol i just purchased a Socom profile 556 barrel and im wondering what the best way would be to set it up and what type of shooting its best suited for? Im new to the AR platform and this is my 1st attempt to build one. I have the makings for 5 total but the 1st two i had a local gunsmith do left a bad taste in my mouth. After all the time and money i still have two rifles that dont run!?!??! So buying the few tools i didnt have to start with a torque wrench and gas tube alignment and barrel torque tool and upper vice block and so on. Lowers i can build NP but just got a bit nervous about the upper. Well i hope there are those out there willing to help me out with any questions i may have? lol
