I have a very similar build that is right at 4lbs with an rmr on it. I am going to revisit my build soon as I finally bought a Balios lite reciever set. I have all of the lightest parts possible so I am now looking for a light trigger or complete fcg. Right now I am running a alg trigger and a JP speed hammer. I wonder if anyone makes a titanium trigger. That would be sweet. |

At 7lbs 2oz empty, I thought I was doing OK with my build.
14.5" GP pencil barrel / samson foreend. Nothing too slick. I knew it would come in a touch heavier than a DI gun with the piston stuff and thicker gas block. But after seeing some weights achieved on here with 16" carbines, I'm getting itchy to figure out how to get my rifle into the upper 5lbs range without spending a car payment :) |

But I do know it's about .2 oz heavier than. A mil spec trigger, especially when you add the bottom plate that protects the receiver. |

I'm amazed at some of the weights shown on this thread. Very nice builds!
May not be the place for this question...... Got to thinking it would be fun to graph how cost per ounce of a rifle goes up (Exponentially) as the weight hits a certain point and goes down. I would bet cost per ounce really starts to jump once you drop below 6 lbs on a build. |

That's really a very good question. I'm currently assembling a lightweight and it's seemingly ended up costing dollars per gram of weight savings on the small parts. I didn't actually calculate the cost yet, but it has crossed my mind as dollars per gram. I didn't want to go "full retard" anal on the cost. A quick example: a Tripwire lightweight charging handle costs $65.00 plus tax and shipping (We'll use $5.00). For 70.00 you get your TLW handle and it weighs 1.0oz./28.0g. An Aim surplus charging handle costs $15.95 plus the $5 there you get a std. mil-spec charging handle for $20.95. It weighs about 31-32 grams. In this case the Tripwire handle costs $49.05 more than the plain standard handle, and you saved 4 grams maximum. You have to weigh them they are all within a range of about a gram on handles. You traded $49.05 dollars for 4 grams of weight savings. That' is a cost of $12.26 per gram. A little high. I'm not going to figure the cost of my rifle that way for a total dollar amount spent per gram saved or cost. This is a one-time, one shot, make it how I want it, don't cut any corners or get in a hurry build. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it run right. When the one I'm doing is finished I will post pictures, the weight, the cost and a supplier/thanks to list. -CB

) The trigger that came with the PSA lpk is really rough right now. It grabs a little in the first part of the pull, not that it matters since I will be replacing it with something else.
