The knob on the left looks like the brightness adjustment on the fakes and it appears to take a battery right above the mount like the fakes. Where did it come from and what was the price?

Good eye. The nitriding is no joke. 30 minutes to dimple. A file to flatten the edges of the dimples didn't even scratch the virgin nitrided journal surface. I'll post some info in the LW parts thread.

I just LOVE the fact you hit that weight with a steel carrier!!  I've been thinking of buying one of the melonite versions from AIM and your build has convinced me to do so this week, as long as they are in stock!

Is the barrel a 16" or 14.5"  Looks to me like a 16" but what do I know?

Awesome build, congrats!

I'll update the build list here in a bit. Even with the Atlas bipod attached, it meets the thread criteria weight (6.0 lb.) And that's what it is.. on the $$$! Ha! Didn't expect that, but I'll take it. This is my second AR build, I'm pleased as punch with it.

Thanks!

Real acogs cost that much.  That you also got a gun, 500 rounds of ammo, and 10 mags should have been the first clue that it wasn't a real acog.

Yeah, I wag going to say that he shouldn't feel too bad.  As long as it was a reasonable quality AR, the deal wasn't too bad.  10 mags and 500 rounds, alone, could easily cost you $300-400.

I've been watching this thread for a while, and really dig it.  Here is my 1st AR I build about 2 years ago when I caught the LW bug.

My LW Rifle

I'll have to get pics on a scale in it's new/current configuration, but as pictured here's what was in this thing

Tegra lower with Balios Lite Upper,
Faxon 18" Gunner barrel w/ rifle length gas
JP complete Aluminum LW BCG
Standard A2 Flash Hider, safety selector and charging handle
AP customs Gen 2 12" Carbon Fiber hand guard
Syrac Arms low pro adjustable gas system
Taccom Buffer with low power spring
Smoke Composites Carbon Fiber long pull open stock/receiver extension
Magpul K2 grip
Midwest Industries half moon flip up front site
M4 style flip up rear site
V7 Ti Castle nut
Smoke Composites Carbon Fiber endplate
Drop in Velocity 4lb Trigger pack w/ anti walk pin set.
V7 Aluminum Take down and pivot pins
V7 LW Bolt catch,
Ti buffer detent
Ti Safety detent
Ti Grip screw
4" Magpul ploy rail section


Weight came in at about 4.5 lbs if I remember correctly.
Link Posted: 3/23/2017 5:18:29 PM EDT
[#20]
Since the initial build I've changed out the trigger and lower parts for part of a New Frontier LPK; I put in the poly Pins, pin detents, bolt catch detent, trigger pack, safety selector, but found that the poly safety detent put too much resistance on the safety and broke trying to get the safety selector to rotate, so I went back to the Ti one I had in there before.  I changed out the poly rail section because it was too high for proper site alignment, and went with some standard Aluminum ones, adding a section at the bottom front of the hand guard. I also switched out the Castle nut for a even lighter Aluminum one. Finally I got a replacement foam pad for ACE skeleton stocks and put it on my smoke composite stock for added comfort

All together this took the weight down a few more ounces, the Lower is super light, the only way to make it lighter, without using a dremmel is to put on a K1 or similar grip, and getting the smoke composite short pull open stock, but I'm tall and have long fingers so I needed that longer stock and wider pistol grip to shoot.
Link Posted: 3/23/2017 5:20:05 PM EDT
[#21]
Most recently I took off the flip up iron sights and put on a 30mm Redfield 3-9 power scope and with it's mount, it jacked the weight back up to just over 5 lbs. However the alignment was just about perfect when I went to sight it in, and it makes it so much easier to aim.  I had my wife shoot it for the first time on our anniversary (never shot before in her life) and after missing with her first shot, she was dead on; taking out water bottles and jugs like a pro.  This was with cheap steal case ammo at about 75 yards, so not hard, but not bad at all for her first time shooting any fire arm.

Things I may still change, as light as the Smoke composite's endplate is, being Carbon Fiber, it can't be properly staked, and I'd love to put an endplate with a QD option there instead; I may throw on an AFAB mussel brake I picked up, and perhaps put a Magpul hand grip of some kind on the bottom of the hand guard.

I didn't mention the weight without the Atlas Bipod, it's 5lb 5.2oz. This weight includes the UTG Poly 3 rail pic section, and two sections of Magpul MAG602 rubber rail cover (3 M-LOK slots ea.) That works for me..  it's super fun to shoot, and dead nuts reliable (at least in the ~700 rounds I've railed through it thus far.) The biggest reasons for building it!

Hope this silly picture ap posts the pic.

Here's my lightweight Recce FIGHTING gun.  As all can see on these pages, one can easily go MUCH lighter, but I wanted this to be a reasonably durable and very capable SHTF fighting carbine. Therefore weight compromises were made in favor of combat capabilities. For example,  I eschewed a 17 oz. pencil barrel in favor of a 22 ounce V7 lightweight match barrel to provide better accuracy and rate of fire. Some will doubt my choices but, oh, well.

She currently comes in at 5 pounds, 2.5 ounces without mag, sling, or optics. 6 lbs 10 oz with the RMR and 1x6 optic mounted.  I may make further weight savings. We'll see. Here's a list of parts:

Precision Arms AFAB combo muzzle dev. (heavy, but best dev for decent flash sup AND braking. Might switch to Ti Ext A2 FH to save 1.5 oz)
V7 14.5 lightweight stainless match barrel (1 MOA)
V7 lightweight upper rec without port door or FA
V7 Ti bolt carrier
SLR Ti adj. gas block .625
V7 extreme use gas tube (overkill)
HIPERTOUCH ECL nickel coated trigger (excellent!)
2A Armament Ti takedown pins (not pictured)
Tennessee Arms polymer lower (I know, but these things are amazingly strong! And sooo light)
Vltor A5 buffer and tube to smooth recoil (reduced buffer weights)
Tubbs flat wire buffer spring (reccomended!)
Mission first tactical minimalist stock
Magpul Maid pistol grip (heavy, but I just love the LOP)
V7 aluminum end plate and castle nut
Trijicon RMR 1 MOA (superb!)
Vortex Strike Eagle 1x6 scope (temporary but incredible for the price)
Aero Precision extended scope mount (the lightest!)

Built this to be the one I'd grab if the world came unhinged. So far not disappointed. She hits well out to 600, shoots VERY smooth, swings and carries like a dream.

Okay.  For anyone else who hasn't been initiated, I finally found out why pictures don't sometimes appear when posted.  If you have less than 50 posts on this site, your pics will not appear for YOU until the team here has approved them. Or, so they say.  Don't ask me with this is so.  Argh!

Team members will be able to see your photos.  Once three have approved them they'll show up for everyone.  This cuts down on the inappropriate pics.  So post away.

What mount are you using for that Vortex RDS? Is that a Venom or Viper or Razor?
Link Posted: 3/25/2017 3:08:14 PM EDT
[Last Edit: MackDaddy1962] [#43]
Small update. Dropped the weight a bit more going to David Tubb "lightweight, 300 Blackout" flatwire spring. Man is it A LOT shorter than his full power spring! Also put the TACCOM two piece delrin buffer system back in, and swapped the Airsaka finger stop with the tried and true Magpul AFG. I like it better even if it is heavier. Weight as configured now, minus the Atlas BP 5.203lb

Not bad considering all it has, plus the fact I'm using "old school" Std. forged upper/lower set. The Aero's are as nice as they get, plus the Gen II lower has the rear tension screw like the $$$ billets! Perfect.



I've got the SLR gas block set @ 3 to start with Tuesday. Probably won't work that low, but I'm hoping it will. The full power spring and ST-T1 buffer ran flawless @ 6 on 55gr FMJ BT PMC Bronze. We shall see.

I just clicked on your link. Yes sir-ree Bob they're fantastic 3 slot risers! I've got all three.. .5" .75" .83" just to experiment with what I like on my "not gonna have irons" rifle. I do know the VV & .5" UTG riser is absolute CW with Magpul Pro irons.

It Lolly Pops! Ha!

we only need about 10 more people to make the Faxon 10.3" pencil bbl a reality people. It's 15oz and will likely be the lightest practical bbl one could buy for an AR if it is produced. We need 50 pre-orders for Faxon to make it. Who's gonna step up so we can get this done?
