From what I have been able to research, the Venom supposedly can use the same bases as FastFire 3, so I am trying to find the lightest reliable base that would work with a FastFire 3 (and therefore Venom). |

With a PA red dot, optic and mount weighed in at ~5 oz total on my scale. Wrote the exact down somewhere but I've moved papers around since then. |

RRA ELITE CAR (mid-length gas system) HBAR with shortened, pinned, and lightened bbl by ADCO. CTR stock and MOE forestock with custom grip. With light and sling but without mag it weighs just 5lbs 15oz as it sits. Barely under 6lbs but still it's under.

I have a Vortex Venom that is still in the box. It weighs 29 grams with battery, no mount. Not sure if the two screws are included in the VV weight or the mount, but they add one gram, so 30 g with screws.

5 lbs, 12.2 oz. With a PA 5x prism it breaks the 6 lbs rule. I need a TA33. Parts list: Standard PSA lower Magpul K2 grip Standard lower parts kit, minus Geissele SSA-E and CMMG ambi safety Spikes T2 buffer kit MFT Minimalist Stock Aero Upper w/o Forward Assist AIM Lightweight BCG BCM Ambi Gunfighter charging hadlle, Mod 4 size Faxon 14.5" pencil barrel, midlength gas 13" ALG EMR V2 Voodoo Manimal pinned and welded Low profile .650 gas block Wasn't specifically going for super light weight here, so I'm glad I still managed to squeak in under 6 with a red dot and light. Could save more weight by ditching ambi parts, but I'm a lefty and wanted a practical rifle that was lightweight, not a lightweight rifle for the sake of being super light. |

Just received a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel for a 300 blackout build. The barrel is 16" in length and weighs in at 23 ounces. Not the absolute bottom of the scale for barrel weights, but likely the best at keeping a rigid barrel for precision builds. Naturally this comes at a significant price, but anyone chasing lightweight parts already knows this game well. They have a larger profile if you're primary concern is precision over weight savings.
I also swapped out several Mag Tactical magnesium upper receivers for V7 Weapon Systems 2055 lithium aluminum uppers. The Mag Tactical uppers had a V7 lightweight forward assist installed, but no dust cover/pin and came in at 5.55 ounces. The V7 Weapon Systems unit doesn't have a forward assist, and without the door/pin installed, the unit weighed in at 5.90 ounces. I have several samples, and each has a +/- variance of around 0.15 ounces. During high speed camera testing of the uppers, we noted that the magnesium upper receivers permitted the barrel to flex significantly more than the lithium aluminum ones. Same rail, same barrel nut. Same torque spec was hit. Same barrel nut grease. Units were tested on the same lower. The uppers were both faced with a lapping tool. With the magnesium uppers, you could see a significant amount of flex reverberate from the barrel through the upper. In my opinion, the sub-half ounce weight difference isn't worth the strength and rigidity shown in the lithium aluminum. Given the fact that the magnesium uppers are hard to find, it's a no brainer to go with the V7. Their price point is high. I noted that even these high end V7 uppers still benefited from hitting them with the facing tool on the lathe. So just because you're buying top shelf, doesn't mean you can skip some of the accuracy wringing steps. These V7 uppers are an ideal host for using a JP Enterprises low mass bolt carrier paired and a JP Enterprises Silent Buffer. Match this with a good adjustable titanium gas block from say SLR and you'll have a winning combination that you can dial in for performance. |

Here's mine (my wife's actually). It's never been weighed but it is light. The barrel is 0.625" OD. It was turned down from 0.920" OD by the good guys at ADCO. They did a great job and, yes, the rifle is accurate. She loves the EOTech sight, too. Go figure? |

My build started a little less ambitious with a LaRue PredatAR barrel, then the disease set in. After the $$ spent on dropping weight elsewhere I decided the low dollar/ounce weight loss a barrel swap would provide would be stupid not to do. Installed a Faxon 16" pencil barrel today.

Nice! I've got a similar build with the Faxon 16" at 4lbs, but with poly lower, same stock and MBUS sights. AP 9" rails now on AP regular upper, moving to DSG or Aero slick upper. But while saving a couple of ounces in the upper, plans are to go to 12" guntech rails to cover superlative arms gas block, and possibly mag tech lower. May put me in 4.5lb range w/o mag or optics, and thread protector on. BCG is Aim LW, and 1 oz buffer. Tuned nicely for ~5 types of ammo, but still quite reduced gas. 4.5 is impressive (as are many of the guns in this thread). Mine's is probably now as light as it's going to get. Before I started I set down a few ground rules for myself related to reliability, durability and ease of use and I can't go any lighter without tossing some or all of them. The only thing left I'd really consider is a Balios Lite receiver set or similar, but that's a lot of coin for 3-4 ounces. |

Here's my for-fun LW build.
11.5" BCM pencil barrel carbine is ~5.20 w/o the empty mag, and I have parts ordered to drop another 1/2 pound (~4.7 lbs). I broke in the barrel today and it ran great like this with the full weight carriers and buffers. The Fastfire is a temporary optic. Its going to get a Holosun RDS in a low DD CASV mount with will weigh slightly more but should hold up better to routine abuse. I've broken fastfires before. Current build is a BCM 11.5" EHL Barrel with an assortment of 2A, V7, and BCM goodies. Next mods: Minimalist stock -3.0 oz Rubber city carrier -2.2 oz Tubbs flatwire spring -0.64 oz LW modified buffer -1.1 oz Aluminum barrel nut -1.0 oz When I'm done with it, it should be a soft shooter, under 6 lbs with a red dot, 5" can, and a flashlight.

Very nice.
I've wondered how feasible it would be with a gas block like this... 
To leave the material that is contacted by the GB, but to machine out / reduce the amount of material on the journal where the GB isn't. Obviously the bbl would be married to the particular GB at that point, but bbls are a consumable item anyway, right? Definitely not practical for joe six pack for custom 1 off cost reasons, but for a joe sick pack that happened to be a machinist... |

If you wanted to get crazy, once you pinned your gas block position, you could eliminate the shoulder for it.
You could also reduce barrel in front of the gas block to the minor diameter of the threads, I would imagine. |

In any event I considered many over time: Lancer Carbon Fiber Faxon Streamline Carbon Samson Evolution Keymod Odin Works is good so far, I wish it had attachment methods at the 45s though so I could put panels on or even the light, but will make it work for now. |

She's under 6 with the A2 FH but I've designated it as my girlfriend's gun and she loves shooting suppressed so the beefy ASR FH is on in the pic. I'm not taking it off just to take a pic for you losers. I wish they had a lighter option.

 Attached FileFive pounds, on the cheap. Faxon pencil 16" barrel, 3-prong FS turned down, BTE adj. gas block, guntec 10" octagonal rail, Aero no FA upper, AIM LW BCG, regular lower and internals, cut-down PSA A2 grip, regular buffer tube, spring, and buffer (gutted to 0.9 oz), MFT minimalist stock, holosun 403 sight, melonite gas tube, and mil spec CH. Could have saved a little weight and money with a fiberlite-type stock, but I wanted a non-slip buttplate. |
