I'm going to be building a light weight ar for the wife and want to get the lightest possible I can. She's a tiny 100 lb woman.

I want either a 14.5 or 16" barrel
Rail free float lightest possible
Lightest sights
Lightest stripped upper

Basically lightest everything.
What would you use and why and list weight of the parts p l e a s e.

ARs aren't exactly heavy guns.  My wifey can handle a 16 barrel just fine with the floating quad rail and such. She HATES to shoot my colt 10mm delta but she is looking forward to shooting the AR. Mine is a generic mulit cal lower (Defcon by Ammo Bros.) JD machine upper, green mountain barrel, CMMG bolt group and lower guts, and a daniel defense type quad. I will weigh it when I get home but its not heavy.

This is kinda light


You may want to look into a 14.7" perma attached FH with KAC M4 rail system.

Compared to other rifles AR's aren't really that heavy to begin with, nevertheless some of the best places to cut weight are the handguard and barrel so I would recommend a pencil contoured barrel and a Noveske NSR handguard.
