Faxon pencil barrel- my #1 choice for light weight builds - Faxon Firearms AR-15 5.56 NATO Pencil Profile Threaded Barrels

Purchased this for my light weight AR-15 build. I can not express how much i recommend this for any light weight builds. The weight alone compared to other barrels is going to really help especially if you are wanting a rifle with a legal 16" barrel. The finish and coating is high quality and at a very reasonable price. As Faxon states on their website their barrels are used by other manufacturers for use in light weight builds and i can see why. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. Another benefit i found is Faxon actually gives you instructions with the barrel for the approved break in period which i found handy.
