Something like Noveske's N4 profile. A better profile compromise would be a smooth taper, without all the skinny under the handguards, fat in front of the FSB, M203 notch nonsense.

That's why people prefer it to HBAR or pencil barrel. It is a good compromise between the two. 4140 < 4150 < CMV (Chrome Moly Vanadium), but for all intended purpose no one will notice the difference. So don't sweat if you have a 4140 barrel. With that said, you can get a better deal then what Brownells is offering. Shop around it's only a click away. M4 profile save you few pounds of weight.

I remember when there were really only a few companies making complete rifles, let alone components, and that was THAT long ago.

Also I'm a little weary of all these barrels using the "M4" profile, when 99.99% of them will NEVER have a M203 mounted to them. There are much better barrel profiles out there. At least it's 5.56 and 1/7. They lost me at 4140 barrel steel. Also I’m a little weary of all these barrels using the “M4″ profile, when 99.99% of them will NEVER have a M203 mounted to them.
