Okay, this may be a sort of off-the-wall question, and maybe nobody knows, but I figure if I'm gonna get an answer anywhere, it'll be here, so this is where I'm gonna ask it.  I've got a 16" stainless steel barreled RRA upper. Maybe I'm just a wimp, but it seems like it would be awfully heavy to tote around all day at a carbine class. Does anybody know the difference in weight between this upper and, say, a 16" M4 profile upper? Is there a lightweight barreled option that would be lighter than the M4 barrel? Looking through the RRA website, it's hard for me to see the difference in barrel profiles. Thanks! |

IIRC, the stainless is heavy under the hand guards. They offer a CL lightweight 16", I have been looking into that because I have an HBAR 16" Entry Tactical and that is one chunky girl. Can't tell you the exact difference because the lightest I have is the medium profile. |
