It doesnt get much lighter than the carbon 15 upper. I had one and liked it. had no failuires in 1500 rounds.
the freind that bought it has 1000 rounds on it with zero issues.

The PK uppers look like they suffer from having a 4150 upper receiver with permanent carry handle; a flattop carbon-15 receiver seems like it would save substantial weight.

But then again, all the Bushy carbon-15 uppers I can find online give you no choice whatsoever as to barrel profile, handguards, or gas block. Are their uppers available stand-alone anywhere? It seems like weight savings could be had with each of those items (barrel, handguards, etc...), adding up to substantial overall weight loss. I guess that would defeat the purpose of op's request for a complete upper, though.

Looks to me like no one offers the lightest possible complete upper!

ETA: oh yeah, found the standalone uppers. Still, the point is that no one offers a complete upper package that is as light as it could possibly get.
