Man definitely some cool stuff brewing. I did a lightweight build earlier this year (5.56) trying to keep it budget friendly. Basically, wanted a reliable range toy the wife could more easily carry and handle. Though my build isn't "extreme duty" it has done well so far (500ish round)

Final tally was just under $800 and 5.0 lbs with mag and optics, unloaded. :P

Ok, just making sure. I've got less barrel, less handguard, less optic, less optic mount and come in a bit over 5# with a mag in it. Seems polymer is the only way to break 5# with a ready to run setup and a mil spec reciprocating assembly.

What's the weight of you barrel and handguard?

Never weighed them, but the barrel is a DD light profile 14.5" and the HG is an AP customs 9", which on second look is probably the same one you're running.

Pretend the optic is a T-2 in a DD mount and that's how the rifle sits at a bit over 5#

I'm running:

Faxon 16" pencil 1.2lbs
AIM lightweight BCG
AP 9" (same as you)
Slick side Anderson sport upper
Thread protector (soon to be SiCo FH)
Polymer LPK :shock:

Also running SLR gas block to help mitigate recoil and tune the lighter BCG.

Nice looking build! I love the minimalist stock.
