Can I please ask why you recommend losing the cooling fins for this setup? I just put together my JP barrel kit in 16 in light barrel with the heatsink (cooling fins). Do you think they are a waste and aren't necessary? If so why, weight, cost etc.
thanks so much for any insight
I believe because of the extra weight. That said I really like the fins on my 18" med. profile. Helped to keep the barrel and hand guard cooler when running a bunch of rounds through the barrel shooting prairie dogs.
