Decided to check my progress on my newest build. So far I have:
Aero Precision Gen 2 Lower Aero Precision no fa upper Fortis "12 Rev II M Lok handguard Faxon 16" 416R pencil barrel Total weight so far is 2 lbs 9 oz. I plan on using some V7 titanium pieces, a PA red dot with Fortis F1 mount, and most likely a MFT minimalist stock. Hopefully will be under 6 lbs total. Any thoughts or suggestions?

looks good.
I just did a build (still tweaking it a bit here and there) and it came in at 4.4lbs. Should be down to abut 4.25 When the smoke composite stock arrives titanium is expensive and adds up fast. BCG will be your biggest purchase of all if you choose titanium or even aluminum. Any thoughts on gas blocks and buffer systems yet? |

Quoted:
Most likely getting the Faxon lightweight gas block as well. Haven't decided what to do on buffer or bcg yet. You should consider an adjustable gas block to tame the recoil. Lighter recoil matched with a lightweight build makes for an extremely nice shooter. Taming the gas system will help optimize whichever lightweight BCG you decide to use. Lighter BCG's reciprocate faster. Take a look at the SLR Rifleworks adjustable gas blocks. |

By the way, I got my barrel from righttobear.com for an awesome price over the summer. Thanks! |

Tungsten buffers are nice but like the guy above me stated, the heavier T2 buffer would somewhat defeat the purpose of the other lightweight parts. You can take apart the T2 buffer and remove some of the tungsten powder until you find the sweet spot. The SLR gas block will help tremendously by allowing you to fine tune the system. |

Not a good idea IMHO. Too much gas, will increase recoil and be hard on the parts. Quoted:

Can you use a lightweight bcg with a non adjustable gas block on a midlength setup? Not a good idea IMHO. Too much gas, will increase recoil and be hard on the parts. Agreed, if you are going to use LW BCG or Buffer get an adjustable gas block. SLR makes one in Ti if you want that light weight also. |
