I have been loading about 40 AR Mags with between 1 and 5 rounds and doing Mag Change Drills due a lot lately. I still want to train, but I don't want to replace ammo @ $400 / 1000rds. |

My total upper config is 6lbs. 11.5" upper with 10.75" Trilok rail, Aimpoint T2 on LT660, Surefire M600 with switch, Magpul Pro sights, CH, BCG, GA M4SD-K can, Magpul VFG. Suppressor alone is about 17 ounces That's the one thing, other than quality, you'll notice about Triarc. The uppers are pretty heavy. But you're getting a battle-ready build |

The one I use the most with double sling goes 9 lbs and while it is centered on the back it isn't that bad even on top of the pack, but 3 lbs here and 3 there adds up. I could have done w/ 3 less on yesterday's climb.

Guaranteed it takes more time to remove both lens covers than it would to press the button on your EOtech. If you are that concerned just turn the optic on before you go to bed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MandPdude: It's a non issue. I see pictures of guys running T2's that claim they run them always on for HD, yet they have both lens covers closed. Guaranteed it takes more time to remove both lens covers than it would to press the button on your EOtech. If you are that concerned just turn the optic on before you go to bed.

T2’s have clear ocular covers. Front is clear or opaque; neither matter with both eyes open. So yes, leaving them up is fighting ready. I chose to have a clear front cover. |

Aimpoints don’t need lense covers.

I prefer the former to keep the lens from debris or being scratched |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DefenderAO: Yeah. And I have as light of an optic as could be. The whole thing weighs roughly 10+ lbs. Trade-offs... All of My completely capable battle rifles seem to weigh 8.5-10lbs. I have LW Builds, But anything that I have built to depend on just seems to fall in that 9lbs range. I have came to realize, they just weigh what they weigh. If you have Free Float Rails, IR Illumination, Vis. Illumination, Optics, BUIS, Suppressors, Foregrips, Slings, Etc., it simply adds up to= Fairly Heavy...For Me, it's all about displacement, 9lbs doesn't feel that heavy when they are balanced correctly. I'm also a big fan of a 2 point sling. Even run them on My 10-5's. Once you get up past 10lbs, ie AR-10's. I start to feel it. Especially on a long hunt or hike. I'm glad there are currently many Hunting capable Cartridges for the AR-15's now a days. I am partial to 6.8 SPC, where I live this round matches well with the terrain, especially in a shorter barrel like My 12-5 LMT. |

In rain or snow I keep the muzzle down with the front cover open and the rear closed. Works well for Me. |

It's there best upper I've used. Accurate and built very solidly. It is my go-to brand now though hearing good things about Centurion. I will say the "suppressed only" Triarc has a .50 gas port size. It's so smooth. |
