Rail Options.

[NightCat]

14.5 LW barrel with a pinned battlecomp would prob give you the best weight savings. Other than dropping the rail, I don't think you'll save much more weight trimming the other stuff. All your other gear seems pretty lightweight now or have a useful purpose that justifies the weight. I think you've gone as light as you can without spending a ton of money or losing useful capabilities.

The weight difference between my LW barrel and M4 barrel isn't huge but the LW rifle feels better balanced, and therefore lighter, since I don't have the useless weight hanging out on the front of the rifle. If you don't need the QD mount in the stock, go with the MOE. It's definitely lighter than the CTR.

Yea, and that's another Option I'm looking at.... BCM has 14.5" Middies for $460 in stock... then $189.95 to get the BC added and Pinned..

Really considering doing that then putting my 11" Bravo on it...but then I have a 16" upper laying around I have to try and sell.

Make sure that A) you never ever ever ever plan on putting anything else on that muzzle, and B) that you've shot/heard the BC in-person before deciding to permanently pin one on your rifle. I'd offer to let you shoot either of the 14.5" BCM uppers I had the BC pinned on but those have been sold and I won't be revisiting that experiment.

Care to provide some input as to your decision?
