DD makes this barrel, .625 gas journal. They make one like this w/ mid gas too:
Compared to this VDI light barrel also w/ .625 block: 
VDI also makes this in middy gas system. you see the DD barrel tapers down much faster under the handguard. The VDI carbine 16" ultra light is supposedly 23.26 oz. The DD shoudl be lighter but I can't find a claimed weight anywhere for it... BCM aslso makes some pencil barrels, middy gas systems all. ETA: This from the OP 16" DD Light Mid, 0.625 21.2 M Would that be the middy gas system version of the DD barrel pictured? And this: 14.5" DD Carb Lightweight 20.5 M That woudl be the 14.5" version of the DD barrel I pictured? Here is a pic of the 14.5" version: 
This one is measured at 20.5 oz?? |

progress so far magtac upper and lower v7 endplate and castle nut and mag catch otherwise standard lower parts kit standard bcg The finish on the lower ended up being more fragile than I expected, and I put a decent gouge in the receiver putting in the bolt catch pin. I had wanted to put a Al forward assist and port door in, but might just leave it alone. I'll probably put a spikes Ti BCG in there at some point if they ever get released. planned for the front end: regular old charging handle Pinned DD 14.5 bbl with manimal FH v7 Ti gas block MI 12" SSK DD 1.5 iron sights hoping for ~5lbs or maybe a hair under. |

I tried to take my lightweight to the next level by getting a Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped barrel. Sadly, the weights aren't that great for the price. Look at the specs;
14.5” Barrel Weighs 1lb 10.4oz 16” Barrel Weighs 1lb 11.8 oz 18” Barrel Weighs 2lb 4oz (approximately) Lame. You can get a BCM ultra light weight barrel in the same realm for 1/3 the price. |

This is a NW Precision stripped upper I bought.
Mag Tactical w/Forward Assist and Door installed 
Anderson blem upper without forward assist or ejection door machining from Copes 
No anodizing on a lower I picked up at a small shop 
3MR group 
Mag Tactical lower 
PWS Buffer tube 
VLTOR A5 buffer and rifle spring 
2 Surefire CR123As 
And a door. I didn't have a rod and spring handy.

There's also the J&T Dist light weight 14.5 and 16" barrels(also avail in chrome lined). Great pricing. I have the 14.5", but sadly I failed to weigh it before install. I don't think they offer a middy tho.

I get a lot of IMs containing complaints and or/requests and am not always able to respond. It took a lot of time to put it together initially and I am afraid I have limited time to service this thread. Having a list in the OP and having a spreadsheet both may have been a mistake because I have to add stuff to both lists.
That being said as it is currently I still feel it is a good resource and I appreciate people continuing to post weights in the thread. |

OP added it to the buttsock section. I put lots of pics on page 2 or 3 The ACE system remains an excellent option for a lightweight build. The 8oz includes the buffer tube, and I think the end plate and the end cap, so it's equivalent to about a 4 oz stock. As some have mentioned, you can "grind down" the end of the buffer tube and the whole system comes out to 8.0 oz. And it's not that expensive either. |

I can tell you that it is much smaller than any of my .750 gas blocks, and without any extra added beef. djkest, this thread has inspired me to build two new rifles in the LW category.

Thank you. I bought a rainier arms ruv rev with a 14.5 barrel because its light weight. Makes me wonder how much it really weighs.

Would this be cheating?
BCM Enhanced LW I want to build, but I also want the new BCM Enhaced LW barrel. The version of this upper with 13" KMR and Battle Comp 1.5 weighs 2 lb. 10 oz. according to a guy who is selling one. I would go with the 10" KMR and BCM Comp, which may come in the same, or slightly less. If I were to build, I would only change the upper to an Aero Precision with no FA. The stripped BCM is listed in this thread at 7 oz. so if I remove the FA and use the delrin plug, it would be close to the AP upper. The only thing I would not be able to get is the Syrac adjustable gas block, which I am considering with a JP LMOS bolt carrier. I sure would like to know when the BCM Enhanced LW barrels will be available, if ever, for those of us that like to build. |

I'm getting the 14.5 in/10in kmr BFH version when it comes out. If my calculations are correct, that rifle will weigh a hair under 6lbs without going crazy on the light weight parts and that includes a t-1 and buis. That's my goal, under six without dropping tons of money and still have a rifle I won't be afraid to use hard. |

I am not sure how that could be, so I would appreciate the input of anyone who has attached one. Aditionally, the Ace comes with it's own rifle length buffer tube and buffer when you by the "assembly". Are these just a standard rifle RE and buffer? |

This allows the use of low mass BCG for less money. RCA and Sun devil are making these. I am using one with excellent results and let's me also use the V7 titanium gas block for the most weight savings. |

I shopped around for an ace and found a complete one at model 1 sales for 84 bucks. I do not understand your first question. As to what buffer model 1 sells it complete, however they sent me a riffle buffer and spring the instructions call for a car buffer and spring. I will be emailing them tonight. lucky I have spare parts floating around. ALG single chamber break 2.01 oz |
