    I'm a nobody. ;) I'll just add that Todd and SLR products are amazing and the service and responsiveness over email is fantastic.

    lightest furniture for ar15

    Derrick - a few months after I started collecting parts for my lightweight build, Mag Tactical started making their own rifles. You can get a complete unit (all metal with mbus sights) for $1400 (list) from the factory 4 lbs. 14 ounces. Had this been an option when I started, I would have just...

    ipsick - I've also found that 16" pencil barrel is usually 1.0-1.5 ozs. lighter than a 14.5" barrel with a muzzle device. At least that is what I found with my PWS FSC556 on my 14.5" DD pencil. I have a hard time understanding why, since there is usually a bunch of side material removed for...

    jasonfaz - not sure if your comments were directed at me or not. But i'll try my best to answer, just in case they were ... my calguns post, documents everything I did to get down to 5 lbs. 1 oz. (not 5.1oz). I'll put it on the scale and take a picture of it, but that doesn't really prove...

    My ULTRALIGHT w/ Red Dot - 5 lbs. 1 oz. My ULTRALIGHT w/ MBUS - 4 lbs. 14 oz. (strange, I noticed a post I made before this one is pending moderator approval - not sure why). My high-level findings: - saving weight (best bang for the buck) --> barrel, handguard, butt_stock/buffer_tube -...

    I'm not sure if its OK to post from another site, but here's a thread documenting my various lightweight builds: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=922195 (I'll remove it if its not appropriate) It definitely costs money to make things lighter ... after a certain point...

    Derrick - I'm not sure how amiable you are to a fixed length butt stock. I'm running the ACE ARUL-E (entry) since I like to run nearly fully collapsed anyways. Its 5.00 ounces including the buffer tube. I do not know the weight of mil-spec, adjustable length buffer tube (at least not yet). :)

    Long time lurker, first post! I've been on a lightweight kick since I got into rifles (only 7 months ago) - gave up modifying and racing cars for this! :) Here's the weight breakdown of the AP Custom 12.375" Standard Version and Midwest Industries SS-GEN2 12" ... (BCM KMR on order now)...
