Just picked mine up from UPS a few hours ago -- Hate the signature required delivery...
These sights are awesome. Glad I went this route rather than the usual KAC or Troys. 
Size comparison between the Spikes Tactical set, KAC, Troys and Dueck Defense offset sights. Weight profiles: Spikes Tactical Front: 24.91g Spikes Tactical Rear: 28.56g KAC Front: 37.54g KAC Rear: 50.50g Troy's HK Front: 41.94g Troy's Dioptic Rear: 48.15g Dueck Defense Front: 44.14g Dueck Defense Rear: 85.05g

Worst of all, it is not clear whether that listed weight includes the barrel nut or not.  Frusturating. Maybe I'll email him agiain. Looked at our correspondence, he said that the nut and hardware is1.03 oz, not 1.3 oz... I ask him for clarification about his listed weights.
Looks like they have a 13" 3-gun style sans top rail cept at the very front but it is "coming soon" so I'm not even gonna bother believing that weight. ETA: he got back to me and said that the weights now listed included the HG, barrel nut and hardware. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rightwingnut:

The Mil-spec barrel nut is steel and 1.3 oz, and the MI barrel nut from my estimations is 1.5 oz. If anyone has a midwest industries barrel nut that isn't already mounted, please weigh it.

They are awesome mounts if you need lightweight, and QD is not necessary. It also helps that they are less than $100. |

I thought I would share this on the light wight thread.
I just put together an upper with a WOA 18"SPR barrel. It weighed in at 40.7 oz. I sent it in to Compass Lake to get fluted and they were able to take 6.7 oz off. One thing to note: I did ask for the flutes to be longer. The flutes to start .125” from the crush washer to .125” from the gas block, and .125” from the back of the gas block to .125” to where the barrel start to go up in size for the barrel extension. The flutes on the back of the gas block are thicker than the front as well. Pics:    |

i don't have bitcoin, The keymod holes look plenty strong enough but are not limited rotation.I can't wait to order the rest of the parts to finish the build I haven't had a rail since the DD Lite, as I had no need for quad rails.I will be picking up a thorntail mount for either my tlr-1 or elzetta m60.

Just a heads up, I was not impress wit the machining on the inside. It scratched the hell out of my WOA stainless barrel. I had to sand it so that it would fit in smooth. Then I had to send the barrel to take off the scratches. A good friend also bought one and was the same as mine. He ended up getting the SLR ajustable and was very happy with the machining. You might want to look up the SLR one. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PC-Tech:

SCT makes claims similar to what Spikes is saying, despite the change they need no adjustable gas block, heavy buffers/springs, etc: "With this BCG you will NOT have to use an adjustable gas system, heavier buffer, or a heavier buffer spring." What magic do they use? As far as the weight, they say that is the carrier and gas key weight, not complete with bolt: "100% titanium carrier with a mil-spec gas key staked that weighs .35" I am really hoping for Spikes to release their. Boomfab's offering, when it comes out, also looks interesting. It's good to have options. :) |

In regards to the SCT Ti BCG. Typically, titanium is about 40% lighter than steel. Being that a complete BCG is in the 11.5 ounce range, a comparable one in ti will be right at 7 ounces. Skelontonized.....there is your 5.6?

So do you know of any lighter quality QD mounts?

So do you know of any lighter quality QD mounts? AP has mentioned that they are working on a QD option. I'm hoping they will contact me as soon as they have one. I personally don't need a QD mount. However, I know a lot of people would be interested in one. With the design of their mount, I think they could easily come up with a QD setup that would even work with the current non-QD versions (so, people like me could easily "upgrade" their existing mounts). However, this is all speculation on my part. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By _Crog: Thanks for the tip kest! I was getting frustrated trying to find a mount that wasn't in the 1/2lb neighborhood. QD would be nice, but 4 oz lighter is enough to change my mind I think.

The spread sheet lists the mag tactical upper for $125. Does anyone know where this price came from? I haven't been able to find any retailer that carries it besides mag tactical themselves.

Might be a typo, I'm sorry if I got your hopes up. BTW SLR Rifle works 10" Solo 3-gun rail, worth a look if you are rocking the carbine length gas system. 7.4 ounces! (manufacturer). Their mounting system appears to be pretty solid though I haven't used it myself yet. |

So looks like the spikes titanium with the material removed is going to be 20 grams lighter but they haven't put there's in production yet. The spikes one is also supposed to have a sleeve where the bolt rides IIRC. |
