You guys are a bunch of ladies who are weighing those beautiful guns with empty mags(the guy carrying empty mags in his gun on duty or downrange prob. wont be to effective but his gun will be lighter ) .....so for the record, my weights included one 30rd. pmag fully loaded with TAP 75 gr.
You guys make me feel so fat  ....at least i am honest and admit to needing to cut out a few little debbies

Guess it depends on what your AR is used for. A home defense or duty rifle a light and/or grip makes since. If you use the rifle for hunting or just range shooting then an optic and bi pod might be all you need. Personally I just think it looks cool but I am thinking about replacing my rail with a magpul moe hand guard. |

No scale but I'm guessing it weighs more then six pounds but less then eight loaded. 
Since a standard M4 weighs 7.5 pounds, I'm guessing this one is about nine pounds loaded with the extra cool guy stuff on it. |

The top AR is a 16 inch, 6.5 Grendel weighing 8.5 lbs with full mag. The lower AR is a 16 inch, 5.56 weighing 9.5 lbs with a full mag. I was surprised-I thought my Grendel weighed more than the 5.56. Of course larger mag in 5.56. http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/kgburcham/AR%20post%202010/129.jpg |

I like a little heft on the front for balast and stability for offhand shooting. In fact my new KAC RAS and rails arrived today and I couldn't wait to pull the light, plastic MOE off and put it and the Surefire GL2 on. On the cheap bathroom scale with a loaded 30rd. Pmag it says a hair over 7lbs. but I think it's heavier. It snaps level on target, the red dot doesn't waver and it now looks and feels like a serious fighting carbine.
