Again, the barrel is already pinned & welded. Not going through the hassle & expense of replacing it. LW BCG is not good for a SHTF rifle based on everything I have read. It will be run with a can full time so the H2 buffer is needed. ALso, pencil barrels are not the best for a can. Especially a heavy can like mineYou did fine building a light AR, it's the accessories that are killing you. But if you want to lose more weight on the gun itself don't fight the suggestions that are being given to you:
Beyond that, rather than replacing the stock to shave a few ounces I'd remove weight at the other end to help with balance, starting with the rail covers and hand stop. An ultralight build is also a minimalist build.
- Pencil barrel, or at a minimum Faxon gunner profile
- Adjustable gas block
- lightweight BCG
- lightweight buffer
- handguard long enough to just cover the gas block
The HG on it is GTG.
I have a lighter BCG (Not LW BCG) & ADM mount for the micro prism on the way to help some. I may ditch the piggy back mount & red dot too. I might switch to the MFT stock as well, but worried about being unbalanced if I do that.
It is what it is I suppose. Not end of the world and I'm not going to dismantle the whole thing so maybe build something lighter in the future & waste of ton of $ lol
