Am I just missing this somewhere?

What's the weight on these things stock from the factory?

According to jerzsubbie, 6.95lb. This is with a lightweight optic, some rail covers and a different brace on it though. around 6.5'ish lb right out of the box I would think. I'm figuring close to 8lb AUW for mine including suppressor..

Around the 8:30 mark, text with weight is on screen.

Yeah literally the only available data for the weight on this gun seems to be this dude's personal gun with it's included accessories.

No factory weight specs floating around?

Not that I've seen. you would think, the completed gun weight would be listed in PSA's description...

I have an FDE build kit coming. I'll post up my assembled, naked weight if you want it. Probably late next week assuming UPS gets it here...
I should end up within an oz or two of PSA's complete gun. I'm using a light weight for billet, NFA G4-gen2 lower (8.29oz stripped) Larue MBT, PDQ ambi bolt catch, Mil-spec mag catch, Battle arms ambi selector and steel Takedown/pivot pins. Upper is obviously the same and I'll use PSA's stock/brace adapter, included tri angle brace and magpul grip.

I feel like mine was 6 lbs 6 oz or maybe 6.6 lbs. I don’t remember anymore.
If I was braver I’d go make a bunch of lightening holes in the handguard

I switched to a slightly heavier brace to improve balance. It’s very front heavy out of the box with that light triangle brace. It’s a stout little gun.

I think I saw the braced pistol .300 BO with 7” barrel was 5.5 lbs.

"As equipped" not equal to "factory". I just want to know what the gun weighs without having to try to figure out pr cise weights of every accessory someone installed and do the math to get an estimate.

And it seems weird to me that I have to do that in the first place.

Psa y u no publish jakl weight?!

@PalmettoStateArmory

Now that we have more calibers and options, can we know what the other weights are as shipped?

For example, 8.5" 300blk no brace or stock or mag.

I just weighed my .300 blk JAKL.  With no magazine and no stock or brace it is 5 lb. 9.6 oz.  The only mod I have done is swap the factory mil-spec grip for a Magpul K2+.

I haven’t shot mine yet.  It must be the grip.

That would explain it. Certainly, I've seen grip weights vary by a couple of ounces.

The AR-15 parts weight database shows quite the difference.

@PalmettoStateArmory can we get a weight for the 13.7 with F5 stock sku 51655139770? And possibly a weight with the full length rail, too?

Thank you!!

If I didn't already sorely want a ODG 13.7 JAKL, you guys' customer service alone would seal the deal for me. Thank you, Josiah! I appreciate you taking the time.

Will there be options for lower profile barrels to bring the weight down?
