i'm thinking off ditching my CMMG heavy barrel 16inch 1:9 as its too heavy for what i want, was going to flute it but i wont lose enough weight i don't think, what options would you be looking at ? would like a 16inch as it seems to be a good all round length yes ? and something light weight and in 1:8 theres these barrels on trade me but there 1:7 and chrome lined

If you've got money to burn, then replace the barrel.

My AR started its life as a 16" Bull Barrel (.930 dia). While it was not light, it was WAY lighter than the RRA Predator .308
I had, that thing was HEAAAAVY!
SSRNZ turned the barrel down to a medium profile (.75 dia) from chamber to muzzle, and fluted it before and after the gas block. Now its lighter, handles better, looks better and will put 5 rounds of Hornady training ammo into a group the size of a 10 cent piece at 100m time after time.
