Lightweight Barrel Perfect for Pin and Weld
After you handle an AR-15 with a pencil profile barrel, you may well leave the tried-and-true government profile behind. This barrel from Ballistic Advantage takes the sleek pencil profile from the original days of the AR-15 and brings it to the modern age, with superior build quality, modern coating, and a length that’s ideal for a pin and weld AR-15 build.
This 14.7 inch barrel comes in just under a pound and a half in weight, with a slim taper from chamber to muzzle that keeps it comfortable and incredibly maneuverable. Since the length is under the legal 16 inch designation for a rifle, you’ll have a decision to make: pay $200 dollars for a tax stamp to make a short-barreled rifle, or you can go for a pin and weld.
Pinning and welding permanently affixes a muzzle device to the barrel, and it can be done by a qualified gunsmith. Check out the VG6 Epsilon, which has the right length to make this barrel legal, without the costly tax stamp.
