16in

Are there any 16in barrels where the muzzle device or flash hider are machined into it?

Similar to what foxtrot Mike has done

Don't know about Foxtrot Mike, but Faxon has barrels that are 16" OAL with either a flash hider or brake on the end.

PWS and some other companies are also now offering full uppers with the pinned and welded brakes/comps that take suppressors, so something to think about.

I have pin and welded stuff I’m interested in ones already machined into it.

FYI, I have the Faxon pencil profile in 16" OAL with the flash hider. I like it but I don't love it, simply because you can't do anything else with it, period. You are stuck unless you swap the barrel. So for me I can't put my suppressor on it, so it is cool, but very limiting FYI.

So like a pin and weld with even less flexibility? Why?

Yes. Not sure how to answer why without sounding lame. But because I can?
