I finished (for now) my lightweight build. Barrel is a 16" del-ton lightweight. I am using the Ace Ultra Lite Entry stock. I thought the stock would be too short, but I am really starting to like the light weight and solid feel of it, easy to shoot NTCH now  All up weight with an empty 20 rd. mag is 5.9 lbs. I can go lighter if I wanted to, but I just wanted to build a light dependable AR with easy to obtain parts. I will probably be duracoting the handguard, metal parts of the buttstock and get a Magpul MOE grip in FDE, but other than that, this one is going to stay simple. I will tell you, there is a HUGE difference between the feel/handling of this rifle compared to my other heavier rifle. I think I am going to really like that pencil barrel for fast shooting. Now I need to sign up for some competition coarses! Here it is, all 5.9 lbs.  Compared to my 9.5 lb. tack driver

Thanks guys! I really like them both as well  My HBAR barreled rifle shoots sub MOA and can easily hit clays out to 400 yds. I'm hopefully going out to Pawnee Saturday to see how the lightweight shoots. I don't expect it to be the tack driver that my other rifle is, hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised though. Either way, that's not what this one was built for. I wanted a lightweight for fast/moving shooting and this one should fit the bill!
