My lightest ar is about 6lbs "I think" Ill weigh it later though. I was just looking at super lite ar's and the lightest AR Ive seen on the net was just 4lbs with aimpoint t1. Im just wondering If any of you guys have ar's on serious diets and what are your specs, I'm thinking of building a 100% reliable superlite for bug out maybe SBR
and lets see who has the heaviest ar TOO
ChunkeyMonkey has robs gun, by far the lightest I've felt.
I "had" a 4.5 pounder. Irons, Cav Arms lower, A1 pencil barrel.
Ban Era Super Light: Sucked.

Immediately Post Ban: No longer sucked. No longer light weight.

With or w/out optic. BBl size, 2 different class weights
16" and SBR
Stock Colt 6520. Book says it's 5.8 lbs. If it had A1 sights it might be the perfect AR.
Lightest is probably an SBR with a crappy plastic plum crazy lower....My 16" BCM with Comp M4 is 7.2 lbs unloaded. I do like light, but not willing to go lighter at all costs...
Singlestack
Mine weighs in a a hefty 14.8 lbs before optics.Quote:

Add scope and bi-pod and it is just a touch over 15 lbs.
Yes it was light and yes it did suck! (jam-o-matic) Ask me how I know.Quote:

My clone. Colt upper, DCI A-1 lower, Fiberlight stock and car hadguards along with the Izzy dust shield and strap. Mine weighs 5.9 lbs or 2650 grams with the strap. This is a fun rifle to shoot. http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...ng240Small.jpg http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...ng243Small.jpghttp://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...4iy7qc7vq7.jpg
I put my pinned DD pencil 14.5" on my plum crazy lower and it was amazingly light. Then I sold the DD barrel...
Wife's CavArms lower stag l/h M4 upper with Burris MTAC 5.8lbs When it was a Bm, factory .625 16" bbl with basic RD it weighed 5.1
My 10.5" FT with AA piston system and AR-332 optic is 6.
7" AR in 22lr is 4.6 Swap the 22 for a 10" 9mm and we're @ 4.9[ish]
All are w/out a loaded 20 or 30 rd mag.
How do you knowQuote:

I have one similar to this... it's a 14.5 pinned PSA pencil flattop on a new frontier poly lower. Without my riser and optic, it's well under 6, possibly closer to 5, but i can't weigh it accurately enough with my bathroom scale so i really don't know how much it weighs, but it's super light.Quote:
