[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3030851, member: 423"] Alright, now that I've gotten all the factory parts and it's built, I will start on modifications to reduce weight. Unfortunately, due to some medical issues my wife is dealing with right now, I won't be able to travel up to my friend's place in KS who has the mill I was going to use for the bolt carrier cutting. I was also going to mill on the upper receiver while there. So far, I've played with cutting down an A2 grip. The grip I cut down went from 2.8oz to 2.4oz (66g). I have not installed it because the grip I practiced on was heavier to begin with. Another spare A2 grip I had weighed exactly the same (66g) before cutting. I will cut that one next and weigh it afterwards again prior to installing it. Here is the first practice run: [ATTACH=full]106488[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
