Just out of curiosity I was wondering what total weight you could achieve using titanium parts.
So assuming a standard upper/lower and a 16" barrel and whatever the shortest kmr rail is using a titanium barrel nut. |

I believe NEMO arms has am all titanium build my dad told me about when he visited their factory. I forgot the weight but they wanted $100K for it.

I built this rifle with a ton of titanium parts. Total weight with BUIS and no mag was under 5lbs. But this is using the BALIOS-light upper and lower, so add a few ounces if you'll be using a regular stripped upper and lower. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M9DlVgsPB0w/Vg3ytLsfvdI/AAAAAAAAGIQ/gzgdaXIhvPA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg Did you ever do a rough comparison on what the difference in weight is between the titanium parts you used and standard parts? I have a BCM build with a kmr rail and kac micros and it feels super light. I'll have to weigh it |

Did you have a survival scenario where you were needing a super light AR? Re-read first 4 words of OP I see that Which is strange since I didn't post it here What's even stranger is that I posted this 2 days ago and it just now showed up

No, I didn't do the analysis on my own. Much of that info is contained in this thread, however: Lightweight Parts lists with Weights Thread |
