OK man I am seriously lusting for a 5.56 version.
Any chance of getting a standard and not a pencil barrel version? I don't know why I want this configuration over a pencil barrel, but I do. |

OBR 5.56, then. It's the only way. Thing about that is I want the PredatAR handguard not the OBR 556. system. along with the weight advantage of the PredatAR over the OBR. all they have to do is install a barrel that has not been turned down. does not seem like a extra expense to me. |

Quoted: Geez, where do you think the weight advantage comes from? The difference in weight of the aluminum parts won't be much, it's the difference in the weight of the steel parts, where most the weight savings comes from.

this is true that the pencil barrel is part of the weight advantage. However the rail without the 10 moa. rail has to be lighter. Heck just by looking at it there is a noticable defference between the two and part of the weight is in the rail

The big weight difference is in the steel parts.  |
