Ive read your essay on carbines and see that you recommend the 1/9 twist for lower grain ammo. Though I prefer the LMT carbine a bit more than the RR, LMT only comes with a 1/7 twist which might pose a problem as I shoot a variety of ammo mostly due to affordability and availability.
So thats my conundrum-

Unless you are a match shooter, the 1x7" should stabilize most of the rounds you will find just fine.
You have to decide whether you want the ability to shoot the 69 gr. plus bullets, which due to overall length include the military M856 Tracer round. If so, then you really need the 1x7". If you never plan to shoot the heavier and more expensive rounds, the 1x9" will work just fine.
Unless you are competing, I would look for a military-type 16" barrel from LMT, RRA, or Colt with the chrome lined bore.
HTH.
