Here's my little honey. An LMT upper with the barrel turned down, RRA lower, and a simple light set up. It handles great and shoots even better. With 75 grain handloads I've been getting 3/4" groups at 100 yards with a crappy 4x scope.

this is an old one, but I still like it...
Colt A1 Upper (no brass deflector or A2 adjustments saves weight) Colt skinny barrel (1/7 chrome lined, no bayo lug saves weight) Colt bolt and Carrier (Colt carrier is lightest standard carrier ) HiPerform Carbon Fiber FF Tube with aluminum barrel nut (saves a lot of weight) Colt 4 pos stock (lightest adj. stock) Oly/SGW lower Duckbill grip (lightest grip I know of) TA47 Comp ACOG (lightest of the decent optics) Surefire Scout Light (lightest of the decent lights) Its less the 6 pounds as is

Another old one, and my 2nd favorite. Keep it simple and lightweight.
 I'm waiting for one of those new-in-wrap Colt 20" 1/7 pencil barrels that seem to be popping up everywhere. Some pirate found a buried treasure chest full of them. But I haven't decided to DD 12 that one or get a PRi tube. Shiver me timbers! _________________________________________ |

Their new top-loading uppers to compete with Robinson Arms.
 Is is just me, or do those look a little thicker than a lightweight profile barrel? _________________________________________ |

Maybe, I do see some side sling mounts in there.
Wedge- Why do you have a crush washer behind your Vortex? _________________________________________ |

 A "govt profile" barrel. The Cav lower makes it light, too. |

The barrel was cut to 14.5" and recontured by ADCO. The Vortex was attached permanently to stay legal. I don't think it's a crush washer as it seems quite solid. But I may be wrong???? Wedge http://img219.exs.cx/img219/1640/brake21qz.jpg |

Those are the only two AR's I have as of now, I plan on a few more. But to be perfectly honest with you, I've never shot them. I live in Charlotte, NC, and there's really no outdoor range around here. Closest one is a police range about 30 minutes away I think, that's only open to the public on saturdays for about 4 hours. Then the next is a few hours away. I have a wrecked car in my garage that's limiting me on getting out of the city right now, so I can't make it to a range to shoot them. The guys around here on the hometown forums get together at the range a few hours from here, but I just can never make it out there. First chance I get though, you can believe those barrels are going to glow. haha |

The A3 I have there is all bushy, barrel and everything, except the 4 position stock, it's unmarked. The A1 is half and half. The lower is bushy, 4 position stock is unmarked. The upper is totally unmarked. I got it off of a guy on gunbroker. The barrel on it isn't chrome lined either. It's in really good condition though, except the guy sent it to me with the filthiest barrel ever. He didn't even bother to clean it out prior to sending it. "Hey, I'll blow 500 rounds out of it, then send it to this guy" hah, oh well, it's cleaned up nice now though. I still wish I could figure out who made the thing. |

wedge, I must say that after your trim job, you are left with the perfect length and look for a civvie carbine. (or in the spirit of the thread..... car-bean.. )Nice work. |

Hmmm... Now I REALLY like the top one. Shorter is better! BTW - how did you engrave the plastic lower when you SBRed it? |

Thanks both......
The engraver used a lazer to engrave it...worked out PERFECT....he charged me $5...I gave him a $10 and told him he did a great job. Big spender, huh

What are the pros and cons of pencil light barrels vs. a heavier bull style barrel?
I just had a 16" car built with a heavy barrel and now I am thinking I should have gone with a lighter one. |

Heavy barrels are cheaper to manufacture and hold up to aut fire better.
Pencil barrels are easier to carry, swing better, etc. Lighter is usually better. |
