barrel diameter under handguard - Castor Troy - 07-21-2014
The barrel on my Grendel is pretty heavy; .865 under the handguards right now, with .750 gasblock and .700 in front of the gas block
The profile I'm leaning towards is .675 under the handguard, and leaving it at .700 in front of the gasblock. I will eventually be hanging a Surefire Socom 7.62 MINI off of it, and I want to make sure I don't go too light. Should I go a little heavier, like .700 or .725, under the handguards?

Yeah, need way more info!
Intended use? Barrel length, intended rate of fire? Etc., etc., etc...

No, not planning to flute it
