I'd prefer to know what I am talking about before talking to Mark at PF again. My ignorance didn't serve me well my last conversation, and it seems he is extremely busy.
I also don't want to just go as thin as possible to save as much weight as possible. That seems like a bad bet, to get one of the best barrel brands, and then remove all it's rigidity by going super thin. I'd being doing the quality of the barrel a disservice.
So I am looking for the best compromise on the weight to rigidity slider scale.
Best of luck too you sir.
