They are awesome mounts if you need lightweight, and QD is not necessary. It also helps that they are less than $100. |

i don't have bitcoin, The keymod holes look plenty strong enough but are not limited rotation.I can't wait to order the rest of the parts to finish the build I haven't had a rail since the DD Lite, as I had no need for quad rails.I will be picking up a thorntail mount for either my tlr-1 or elzetta m60.

SCT makes claims similar to what Spikes is saying, despite the change they need no adjustable gas block, heavy buffers/springs, etc: "With this BCG you will NOT have to use an adjustable gas system, heavier buffer, or a heavier buffer spring." What magic do they use? As far as the weight, they say that is the carrier and gas key weight, not complete with bolt: "100% titanium carrier with a mil-spec gas key staked that weighs .35" I am really hoping for Spikes to release their. Boomfab's offering, when it comes out, also looks interesting. It's good to have options. :) |

Saw some holes in the data plus more I can fill in with loose parts from my current take on a light weight build I have in progress.
Spikes forged lower - 237 g / 8.4oz Spikes forged upper - includes dust cover and forward asst - 244g/8.6oz LWRC Ultra Compact Stock - includes stock, buffer tube, castle nut, end plate, buffer and spring - 464g/16.4oz Noveske 8.2" 300BLK barrel - includes gas tube and block - 515g/18.2oz Spikes 12" SAR rail - includes barrel nut and mounting screws but no shims - 292g/10.3oz Spikes NiB BCG - 334g/11.8oz BCM mod4 med latch charging handle - 36g/1.3oz Magpul Gen2 rear poly sight - 37g/1.3oz Magpul Enhanced trigger guard - 12g/0.4oz DPMS ambi safety - 22g/0.8oz Geissele SSA-E trigger - 65g/2.3oz Magpul AFG2 - 72g/2.5oz Should have numbers for Aimpoint H-1, LaRue mount, and Magpul Front sight by the end of the week. Hope this helps. |

In regards to the SCT Ti BCG. Typically, titanium is about 40% lighter than steel. Being that a complete BCG is in the 11.5 ounce range, a comparable one in ti will be right at 7 ounces. Skelontonized.....there is your 5.6?

What rail is that, it looks very light?

Wow there is some very light parts in this thread
|

Its a SLR 3G 13" its almost right at 8oz, not the lightest ya can get but pretty close i like that it doesn't have a continuous top rail it allows for a great grip.

The spread sheet lists the mag tactical upper for $125. Does anyone know where this price came from? I haven't been able to find any retailer that carries it besides mag tactical themselves.

View Quote Might be a typo, I'm sorry if I got your hopes up. BTW SLR Rifle works 10" Solo 3-gun rail, worth a look if you are rocking the carbine length gas system. 7.4 ounces! (manufacturer). Their mounting system appears to be pretty solid though I haven't used it myself yet. |

Put it in the scale today 162 grams with just gas key. 220 complete or 7.7 oz and 5.7oz with just gas key. So looks like the spikes titanium with the material removed is going to be 20 grams lighter but they haven't put there's in production yet. The spikes one is also supposed to have a sleeve where the bolt rides IIRC. |
