Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

thats funny

Wow!!! 98 that thing is badass!!! Thats very light for what you have into it.

This gun was 5.2lbs with standard receivers and standard BCG? Nice looking set up

So buddy of mine pick up 80% lower from show . so thats a start. Guess im going with that then have it cerakoted.

Exactly. I pretty sure im ordering that one

The only thing i would rather go with the 416R stainless barrel

I think im going with 98's suggestion with faxon. Barrel is cheaper, lighter and very nice.

Thanks for hooking it up on this. Thats a dam nice looking rifle!! I hope mine looks that nice

Left out buffer, spring and tube cause i would like professional opinion on this cause im not sure if running a light weight BCG and adjustable gas block with a mid length gas system may need something special to work reliable????Definitely want a mil spec carbine collapsible stock.

Ok so here is where im at with this build. Just trying to put some of it together on paper first. Gun tec 12 " ultra light M-lok handguard is 9.1 oz with barrel nut & $119.00 could go even lighter. But like this set up Barrel is up in air still 16" pencil depending on who i use it will be between 1.4lbs to 1.19lbs and cost between $350 to $175 BCG I really like the AIM surplus black nitride light BCG 8.5 oz complete and average cost of $120 MFT minimal mil spec buttstock with braided rope 8.5 oz around $90 Giessele FCG ssa-e $240 or so weight??? Now the receivers i could go really cheap or really expensive here i seen daytonatactical set is $170 cerakoted. Weight??? I guessing 1.8 to 2lbs. Can go very expensive here and get both under a pound but cost would be over $500 most likely Vseven furion muzzle brake black $133 and is 1.6oz. Very light SLR Rifleworks clamp on adjustable gas block 1.3 oz is about $120 Holosun HS515c already own this red dot on my 15/22 rifle. It is awesome. Cost is around $260 weighs 5.6 oz with high mount. Definitely buying another one just to have. Misc parts lower and other probably $200 and weight??? Ok what are your thoughts guys? This is where im at

Does anyone know what an average receiver set weighs? Just around about cause i know there is so many different brands out there.

ARTrooper i was just looking at fluting cause of reducing more weight. The cost isnt that much more. I know on a pencil barrel its not going to reduce that much but every little bit helps. Also im trying to do it within a budget. I know there is going to be some big $$$ ticket items but if I can do this build for under $1500 and have a gun that weighs 5.5lbs or less without mag in I think i did good.

Wow!

98 check this out. Give you build sheet. A lot of Vseven parts on this rifle. http://www.gunsandtactics.com/building-the-lightest-ar-possible

Yea it would be interesting to find out what the pencil barrel weighs before fluting to compare.

Yea not sure where the material is being removed but there is availability for it

So i have a 308B chamber 1:11 twist BHW barrel on my LR308 build. I spoke with BHW about what ammo i can shoot. They advise me since its chamber in 308B i can shoot both 308 and 7.62 ammo. I thought if you barrel is chamber in 308 you can only shoot 308. If chambered in 7.62 you can shoot both? Please correct me if I'm wrong

I can buy a pencil barrel with fluting. It is available. The price doesn't add that much to cost of the barrel.

Great analogy. I see your point. I will definitely get a pencil barrel to save weight. I dont plan on extended firing from this rifle. I really would like the option to shoot some lighter grain ammo.

Yea they make the Rainier Select Barrels for them. But i havent bought a Barrel yet. I definitely going to take my time to select everything on this build to be just right. Want to make sure im getting the most out of my ?.

Yea i have a BHW barrel in my LR308 build. I really like the rifling in BHW barrels. I have seen reviews were they out shot Noveske and Krieger barrels.

Yea what the heck . barrels are wear item and needs to be replaced after so long anyway.

Pencil barrel with cerakoting and fluting $335 polygonal rifling
