Hey guys. My boyfriend, he goes by Roebuck on here, decided to get me into this site and I must say it's pretty damn awesome.
In any case, I need some advice on how to make an AR15 light enough for someone like me. I've shot his AR15 before and I don't have a problem with the recoil or anything else. Just the shear weight of it. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to make it a bit lighter? It's a Colt 6920. |

AR Parts Weights
Rail Systems Weights Those are the best two resources I've used to lighten my AR. Barrel profile makes a bigger difference than anything else, followed by a lightweight rail and a lightweight optic. I've also noticed that my rifle "seems" lighter with a VFG, because my support hand is vertical. 
It's light, and also very well-balanced. Lightweight stocks really don't help, because the rifle is trying to rotate towards the heavy end. It'll be easier if the rifle is balanced or slightly rear-heavy. |
