5lbs is difficult, and expensive.
6 though... you can check out 51 pages of LW Builds right here on Arfcom. |

OK, how about 5.5 lbs.
I really don't want to build one. |

Get your check book out because LW builds are expensive. And I don't know of anyone that makes a LW build in the specs you're looking for.

A Enhanced Light Weight Fluted 14.5' BCM upper with KMR might be your best bet, get a complete lower with an MFT minimalist stock or a BCM gunfighter.

A guy recently posted his lightweight build's poundage and weight: as I recall, it worked out to $46+ per ounce. Go big, or go home.

Yes, you can buy some absolute garbage models that are pretty light. Check out the older Bushmaster models for some light weight AR15s that had lots of polymer.
If it is going to be a truck gun, I'm not sure why it would need to be light, but to each their own.

Too bad you don't want to build; you can get to 5.5 lbs without too much work or expense:
My latest build weighs in at 5.7 lbs as you see it, with sling and sights, and was $505.97 to build. Remove the sling, use polymer sights in the back, no grip plug and it might be really close to 5.5lbs. Use a lightweight upper, like an Anderson and 5.5lbs or less should be easy. Anderson upper and lower, lightweight 16" Wilde barrel - midlength gas, AIM BCG, YHM gas block/sight combo, BMAS rear BUIS.  " />

No problem. Go to Fulton Armory and buy the Legacy Carbine.

Thems shore got a purdy mouth.. those look light, but they are heavy beasts from what I have seen. The upper and lower alone are heavier than standard forgings. |
