Who makes the lightest civillian legal AR style rifle? I saw in the Bushmaster catalog that they make one at 4 lbs. How much does a Cavarms plastic version weigh? Lest say in a flat top with 16" barrel. Tom

My wife has a Bushmaster Carbon 15 "Lady" and that rifle is pretty damned light.

That being said if we had to do it again I'd buy her a CavArms. Her Carbon 15 has had several nagging issues.

Bushy Carbon 15s will be the lightest.

I'm sure my wife would like the "Lady" Bushmaster. What were the problems??? This year we are buying each other a new gunsafe. The old one is over flowing! Tom

Heard some folks had feed ramp problems and others complaining they were same as Hesse Arms . Not sure how much problems they have mine has worked flawlessly since the break in of 3 30 rnd mags. It has been a good rifle for me so far. My whole view of the light rifle ws, its a 5.56mm , why do i need a 6lb. + platform for a carbine?
