What is?  2 oz?  3?  Enough to feel no-so-front-heavy?

It’s about 3 ounces iirc.   I have a couple and they are noticeably lighter.

That's good to hear.  You can pull out another 3 oz. by changing from that AAC flash hider to regular bird cage.  Might make the gun manageable.

It's more like a 4 oz difference, and yes it's quite noticeable. 99% of people will never need that additional 4 oz. It lets you do 12-14 mag dumps before failure, as opposed to 7-9.
