How much weight could you save if you simplified the front end?I don’t really have anything extra my bcm foreword grip is very comfortable, my light and pressure pad work great for things in the night. I don’t mind the weight it feels pretty good and well balanced.

It's my only AR.
With sling, swivels, 30-round mag (empty), light (with battery), and light mount attached it weighs 7 lbs. 2.85 oz. With just the mag and swivels it's 6lbs. 10.5 oz. Base weight (no swivels or mag), it's 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. With the optic and mount, and light and mount I'd eventually like to use, plus sling, swivels, and empty 30-round magazine, it'd weigh 7 lbs. 13.2 oz. |

Never weighed it, but it's not that heavy. BCM upper with the BCM hammer forged light weight 16" mid length. MOE hand guard and grip, CTR stock. MBUIS and Aimpoint PRO and a Streamlight Pro Tac light.

After going to a defend a statue event, I realized that my go to rifle gets heavy after 6hrs. I really need to weigh it, but it was relatively light. I decided to do a little work at building a lighter rifle for such events. At it's core was part from my prior light weight build - I was shocked that that rifle was mid 6's. This new one will be about the same, but with optics.
I really want to do some research (maybe tomorrow) into where oz can be shaved. That said, I am reluctant to do it on a rifle that needs dependability and which I also want to be relatively disposable. Disposable. My go to rifle is a bit of an investment, when you consider it's optics and the mawl that is on it - It might be close to 5k to replace. That is $1250 for the rifle, same for the optics, and $2200ish for the Mawl, plus tax and postage on top. Even with leaving the Mawl at home - that is $2500+tax, not counting dealing with limited replacability. The new one is probably a $700 rifle with a $450 optic. If it gets stolen as evidence, it is a bit less of a loss. |

Quote HistoryProbably right about this weight. My acog is slightly smaller (TA33), and I have no clue what a CQBL weighs. SR15. I’ve played around with having it cut down to 13.7, dimpled, and P&W with a SOLGW long DAS flash hider, but I haven’t done it yet. |

Is the stock pinned into place OP? Pinned stock, no pistol grip, no flash hider... and a regular mag release with a lcm? ... Looks good to me as long as the stock is not adjustable.
My ARs are ultralight short barrels on Gwac lowers up to the tanks. |

My 300blk with red dot weights 6 pounds with 8" barrel. My 5.56 and 6.8 setups weigh in at 7 pounds with red dots and 12.5" barrels. Of course if I add a suppressor or flashlight or IR laser or something then the weight goes up... Say one pound per accessory on average.

8.5 lbs with 1-8x, sling, 24 round mag and tlr vir2 (white/ir light, ir designator). Itll be 9 lbs, 1 oz when my can clears. But thats 9 lbs suppressed, 1-8 optic, and ability to shoot with white light or nods as neeed. So thats a pretty capable 9 lbs.

mine is heavy at 5.2 lbs, wife's with ACOG is 5.6 slings, BUIS, and mags included. i am split on adding a light ot mine(likely will). I'm not a fan of carrying with a super heavy rifle unless i need to, and if im going to be carrying it for a while ill take the light one all day long. FWIW both will hold sub MOA for 40 rounds 1.5 too in 5 minutes. pretty sure sire i posted a photo in the light weight ar thread
