Yahtzee !
Check it out - sneak peak at Ar15news.com and Battle Arms! Those are some great new ideas.. like shaving the top rail down the elegant selection of materials throughout the build! Thats domination right there!

Could have shaved more weight by not having a muzzle brake as well. Quoted:

I'd like to know what bolt carrier they're using. It appears to be a J.P. Enterprises LMOS Carrier. Could have shaved more weight by not having a muzzle brake as well. Just port the barrel instead. Or maybe its a 14.5" pinned? |

So its only good if you have an aimpoint? They need to make a KISS, Iron sight version. +1 I'd be more impressed if they had actually kept more of the AR's functional features. FA, Dust Cover, Collapsible stock, Irons... etc... Doesn't really look that elegant in its simplicity, more like there is a lot missing. Somewhere to attach my sling please?? |

I love the lightweights but if the barrel is NFA it real doesn't count IMHO. Legal 16" total barrel length and some kind of sights, iron or red dot. Less than that and it is just a heavy pistol... Maybe within the shitty walls of NJ.

Forward assist = answer to a problem that doesn't exist. Obvious govt idea. |
That magwell cutout appears familiar
There's a point where comfort needs to come in and practicality be a part of the rifle building process. The OP-pictured rifle probably has a 12.5" barrel as it looks to me. There are ways to get practical rifles built that will balance very well and still have your proper accessories: ie light and optic. |

Forward assist = answer to a problem that doesn't exist. Obvious govt idea. Great. So what about the rest? Is this really the best they could do? It looks like they put a lot of effort into some areas and not so much into others. Golfball dimpling on the barrel and then no lightening holes on the HG? An A2 grip is probably lighter than what they are using... Not exactly following the whole O.I.P. concept they say they based it on. |

Look up JoshAston in the 'Under 6' crowd. He is much lighter than that. I fully expect Josh to someday break the 3 POUND MARK! What I find encouraging is this quote from the Battle Arms Facebook page: Battle Arms Development No prices yet as many custom components are still be finalized. Speaking of the pins, it will have our latest Grade 5 Titanium Enhanced Pivot & Takedown Pins. The name of the rifle is O.I.P. (Ounce Is Pounds). A dedicated rifle designed to maximize weight savings and still retain the reliability of the weapon system. There will be many lightweight AR15 products to be released later this year, directly stem from the research and development of this OIP Rifle Project. |

Ehh, full NFA toys, I bought 30rn GI mags from a roadside vendor in February, and I COULD buy weed. Sounds relatively free to me |

I get enough shit from all the anti 2A assholes out there and the last thing I need is a fellow ARFCOMMER dishing shit. We are all supposed to be in this together. |

Maybe the cold, the weed, & the 15 rnd mag limit is getting to him & he forgot he wasn't in GD. I can't tell from the pic, is it a 14.5" w/ pinned & welded? |
