Probably, but I will say I picked up a cheap PSA 20" Grendel upper. They use the A2 Govt cut profile, which means a relatively thin barrel; resulting in a rifle that was notably lighter than most 16" guns I pick up. With the advantage of 20" BBL ballistics - which with Grendel helps I think. I ran it in 3-gun and because it's so light, found it handled as easily as any 16" I've run. Accuracy is decent, about 1.5 MOA with the right loads, though can be worse with ones it doesn't like. But then, I only paid $299 for the complete upper with BCG.
