BCM Lightweight Barrel Contour/Best LW Barrel?

Does anyone know the exact dimensions of a BCM lightweight barrel, 14.5" middy?

I’m trying to build a light weight rifle, and wanted to get an idea for how light it is…trying to go for a real thin barrel, hopefully save a little weight out front.

OR - can anyone tell me the lightest 14.5" middy barrel that has a true 5.56 chamber and is chrome lined?

Thanks.

I don’t know about the light weight but their standard 14.5 midlength weighs 2 pounds 13.6 ounces without handguards. Their 16 inch midlength weighs 3 pounds even and the lightweight weighs 2 pounds 11.2 ounces. So if I had to guess, I would say that the 14.5 lightweight weighs about 2 pounds and 10 ounces without handguards. Hope this helps.
