3 gunners are starting to use them. Definitely a conversation starter. http://f-1firearms.com/bdr-15-3gupper-lower-set/ |

Is it even lighter than a normal forged receiver set?

It looks neat, but probably not lighter.

I just weighed some normal forged receivers and got: lower-8.35oz, upper-6.8oz. Which makes 15.15oz, which is less than that set.
It looks like that thing is set up to install a dust cover, for some reason |

Perhaps its a typo, listing "shipping weight" rather than actual weight of the stripped receivers. My stripped MagTactical lower and Aero Precision (no FA) upper weigh a total of 12.7 oz. From the looks of it, the pictured F1 set weighs quite a bit less. Ultra-light AR enthusiasts are willing to try anything to get total rifle weight below 4 lbs. - CW
