Some random thoughts on "weight"

[Erni]

Seriously, DYEDL, bro?

I think part of it is balance and not just weight. The nose heavy ARs are a bear, the well balanced ones feel lighter than they are. For instance a quad rail mid weight vs 20" A1.
Tots agree that the quad rails need to die, and be replaced by the mlock or keymod.

The lighter the AR the more ammo you can shlep, unless it is broken.

So what is a good setup for a lightish AR, that is a good balance of weight and reliability?
