Good but not quite as advertised - Timber Creek Outdoors TC300P85 Pencil 300 Blackout 8.50" Black Nitride

Barrel shoots really well, machining and finish are excellent. Overall I'm satisfied with it. The only problem is that it's really not a pencil barrel and the actual profile does not match the profile shown in the pictures. It does not step down in diameter in front of the gas block journal and what I would call full diameter the whole length. It's more of a medium weight barrel and probably several ounces heavier than the one pictured. I specifically bought this because it looked like it would be lighter than other 300 barrels of the same length. Actual weight is 17.5 oz.
