Something seems a little hokey with the specs on the website.

15A4CBA2K Flat top w/ A2 front sight - 6lbs 8oz

15SPR1CB Integrated rail - 6lbs 13oz

15A4C flat top w/ railed gas block - 7lbs 9oz

I'm assuming the barrels are the same. Why is the least equipped carbine also the heaviest?

The 15A4C should be close to the 6 lb 8 oz weight. I'll look into this to see what went wrong here and see if we can get this corrected.

UPDATE: The 15A4C weight is a typo. The 15A4CB shows it at 6 lbs 9 ozs (same rifle just different color). The website manager is going to fix this.

The printed catalog has the listed weights as:
15A4CBA2K = 6.5#
15SPR1CB = 6.5#
