[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1614032, member: 7539"] One of the guys on the "lightest 16 thread" made this... [INDENT][INDENT][I]hamster carbon fiber upper hamster carbon fiber lower ABS carbon fiber barrel (over a rock creek blank, 17", rifle gas length, 1/7 twist, wylde chamber, titanium comp) (total weight 13 oz) clark custom carbon fiber float tube, cut down (original shown in last pic was 6oz, but I've cut about 2/3rds of it off) ace socom stock (by far the heaviest part of the gun, intentionally to help balance) JP single-stage trigger (freakin awesome trigger) JP low-mass bolt carrier (aluminum) enidine pneumatic buffer PRI adjustible gas block total weight, including p-mag, aimpoint micro t-1, larue mount and everything is 4 lb 15 oz. but without all that, it's right at 4lb. this gun has survived a carbine class and a year and a half of tactical rifle matches. 1115 rnds total, mostly david tapp's steel city match in birmingham. I bought an airbrush duracoated it myself. [/I][/INDENT][/INDENT] From the sounds of it, if you applied the same idea with a 14.5" barrel and a lighter stock, you could easily get around 4 pounds. That would be LIGHT! AND that's including a pmag in the weight. [/QUOTE]
