So many profiles when it comes to AR's and several being different with same description. My hbar looks to be the same as government profile. Some of that depends on gb size (well on my barrels anyway). SOCOM I haven't really seen what it is as depending on which company I buy it from has their version also. BTW, that's some crazy reading.

The HBAR is heavy under the handguards vs. the thinning in the same area for the Govt profile.
