1lb, 4oz non fluted, 1lb, 3.5oz fluted.  The fluting removes 0.5 oz from it. 

 

That's a damn light barrel, either way.

 

For .625" gas blocks, several companies make them.  Shouldn't be hard to find one.  PRI always has them in stock.

ELW barrel weights from www.militarymorons.net:

ELW barrel weights are as follows:

  • 14.5" ELW 1.324 lbs
  • 14.5 ELWF (fluted) 1.292 lbs
  • 16" ELW 1.421 lbs
  • 16" ELWF (fluted) 1.388 lbs

BCM also makes a good .625 block. Pretty cheap too! 

 

 

 

V7 Weapon Sys has a .625 Ti low profile GB. It only weighs 22 grams!

 

^ just looked it up says 20.5 grams lol who knows what's real in the interwebz lol

I have one. It weighs in at what it's advertised at. Good stuff.
