Aimpoint T1 came today, now I can contribute. 
I don't have a scale, but going off what I know, this is under 7 lbs. unloaded. Eventually I'll get a Mini-4 silencer to accompany my SDN-6, and this rifle will be light 100% of the time. |

I bought the Cav lower through the AR15 store and followed the chop instructions I found in the Cav arms section of the industry forum. I used my Makita chop saw. Much easier to actually do than to read about. |

Much easier to actually do than to read about. It looks great. I had a friend chop a few of mine because I wasn't brave enough to do it myself. |

Full disclosure, the 16" is actually 14.5" with the muzzle pinned. We're looking at 2 LW profile barrels, of which one is 4.2" longer, and the difference of 4" in the hand guards. |

Wish i had a scale to get an actual reading... https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5YjHttR1N4k/TwcvstHa7dI/AAAAAAAAFdo/7Ojm_eRh5PA/s640/IMG_20111229_203706.jpg More info on the hand guard please? Its an AP Custom 15" carbon fiber tube. Very lightweight and uses a simple, yet strong clamp mount that attaches to a standard barrel nut and the tube attaches to teh clamp with bolts, not glue like some others. http://www.apcustomusa.com/ar15.html I think even Midway is a reseller of thier tubes now. |

CAV-15 lower with BCM pencil-barrel 16" mid-length upper. Weighs in on my bathroom scale at 6lbs unloaded, but it only weighs to the nearest half pound, so it could be anywhere from 5.75 to 6.24. |

Sweet rifle, but I can't see anything light weight about it, besides the short barrel. DannerTrax |

| That rifle weighs less than 7lbs? My 11.5/Larue 10" rail combo weighs 7lbs 4oz. It has a A2 FH, an Aimpoint Micro/LT660 and a CTR. I do have an M3x on it which adds about 5oz back, but it seems impossible that your rifle would weigh less with a UBR, KX3, and a 512! |

Why ruin a perfectly good thread with a catfight? The rifle doesn't look like a "lightweight" build to me but I wouldn't have taken the time to call you out on it. No, I don't have any "reference material" for lightweight criteria but, thankfully, this is a discussion board and not a scholarly journal.

I don't know what this thread is all about, I didn't make it. Your rifle is an SBR so naturally it is going to be lighter weight but, to me, it just doesn't seem like you meant it as a lightweight build especially with a UBR on there. Again, I would have just glossed over your picture and not said anything but I don't want to see this thread locked. |
