Suppressors Barrel Profile Issue?

[mark82]

Building new upper (5.56mm) and planning a 14.5" barrel with Keymo for future use with Sandman. Faxon barrels in ultralight pencil and "gunfighter" (slightly heavier) profiles.

While I would expect a slightly increased POI shift with the lighter barrel profile, a shift is a shift, and will be accounted for in zeroing. But are there any other issues I should be aware of in choosing between the two profiles?

POI shifts are very inconsistent barrel to barrel. I'd get the profile that suits your needs and roll with it.

Agree - the difference would be minimal... best to get the one you like best and know your zero offset with and without suppressor.
