Without optic or magazine...just under 5lbs. Less if your lowere is a lightweight lower.
Mine with full mass BCG but a FMK 4.3oz poly lower and the V7 buffer tube, minimalist stock, same Taccom buffer but their 10% reduced power spring, a 16" Faxon pencil, Balios 12" rail weighed in at just over 5.2lbs with a Trijicon MRO on top of it. Now with a Battle Arms stock it weighs in at 4.9lbs with the MRO.

That's is what I came up with on paper, about 4.6.  The lower is a poly, I believe it's 5.1oz all milled.

Yes I already ordered it, what's the price on that next intent.  I'm not gonna lie, it's wasn't fun dropping 180 bones on a block, but it is what the build necessitated.

I never knew about the tube.

It's like 120. But it's lighter and it's freaking tiny. Like the size of the tip of your thumb small. NI gave us a coupon code "uglyclown" because the old one expired. Think he did it because I asked.

Its funny you mention the NI Gas Block.  I was just looking at this and comparing it to the SLR TI Sentry 7 but could not find any first hand reviews on how well it holds up.  Also was wondering if the black coating is a DLC or Cerakote?  Also while we are talking lightweight parts anyone have any experience with the Sintercore Tripwire Ambi Charging Handle?

It just came out and their black ones are Ionbond as of last Thursday. They used to be cerakoted. I would wait on the Sintercore Tripwire and check out the Strike Industries Latchless Charging handle.
