Robocop1051 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 This is a constant topic, “how to make the fat chick ready for ballet dancing”... the truth is, and what steers most away from the task, of you want it done right... you have to drop $$$. The easiest way to drop lbs is in: 1. barrel: get yourself a 16” Faxon Big Gunner 2. handguard: Apex CNC is under 1 lbs 3. BCG: JP LMOS with adj GB and SCS Buffer 4. Stock: MFT Minimalist or AB Arms USS these four options will drop close to two pounds from most rifles. The next thing would be, don’t pile a bunch of useless shit on your rifle... like pointless fuckin backup sights. A simple change that won’t be much actual weight, but a considerable amount of “perceived weight” would be a lightweight muzzle device. They can be a bit pricey, but a Ti muzzle device feels significantly different than a steel one. We have a couple guys here that hunt with 8 lbs rifles, loaded and kit’d up. It’s not hard to do. It also depends on the “look” you are going for. Ultra-lightweight parts are generally made of carbonfiber, so you have to be comfortable with that Ferrari-gun look.

Robocop1051 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I have a growing box of MBUS sights. They are almost weightless, and I still won’t use them. I came to the realization with my Troy Battle Sights. I had them installed for YEARS and never used them once. Why did I have $200 back up sights??? If my primary optic died, I’ll just change guns or go home. I’m not saying there isn’t a time and place. I just don’t think 99% of the rifles out there qualify for the need.

Floydieguns Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 One may alternatively state for less money and more exertion.. two pounds more may be less noticed, if the wielder of said battle rifle were to begin doing body weight squats, lunges and lifting ten pound dumbbells. Magwa, how does your rifle recoil? The original AI ar10 was like 8-9lbs and considered very light when compared by the standard of m14 and FAL. One last.. 'pointed poke' would be, how are the lightweight receivers and other components holding up? The best mention of the thread I saw was 50/50 for the titanium muzzle device or the feather weight float tube. My personal experience is weight bias or 'balance' versus 'scale weight'. Of course, my wife complains about her 36DDD bra's.. so weight is a perspective. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullchit, two pounds is two pounds. In the best shape of my life I can tell you every pound was felt and every effort was made to loose that pound if possible. Recoil is a moot point on a hunting rifle, you aren't going to shoot enough for it to matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 EXACTLY ! Floyd I thought it was you that had the 36 double D's ? Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydieguns Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Jtallen83 you are a finely tuned scale. The original post never classified 'hunting rifle'. I acknowledge that yes, in hunting use less weight is better. Defeats the purpose of an automatic rifle. Most bolt rifles have integral magazine wells which retain 2-3 follow up shots. Now, that said - there has been the quadriplegic chairs and automated systems.. which is a whole new subject. Ask anyone who has used a LW(aluminum) commander 1911, comparing it to a steel receiver. There is a noticed difference in recoil. Washguy she has triple D's. The only time I have doubles is when she lays them on me. ;-) you guys are cute.
