My guess is that it is set for dcm type competition with weight in the stock and under the handguards ?
Do I get a prize for guessing ?? |

My gunsmith has a great saying for combat guns like that... "Very expensive, very inefficient blunt striking devices"
Just looking at your description, there has to be more than just an HBAR and a rail system to make that gun that heavy. A regular HBAR will weigh around 9 lbs. with an A2 stock. Rail system versus regular handguards may be half a pound. Ammo and mag maybe a pound and a half. That still leave about a pound or so unaccounted for. Are you using an aluminum receiver or a DPMS stainless? Do you have extra weights in your stock for balance? |

Hell, hes got 3 lbs just in the 30 round mag loaded by itself. Steel cased ammo in the heavy ass steel SA-80 mags. Dont believe me, hold a USGI aluminum mag in one hand and a steel in the other,. Theres a huge difference...... Then add on top of the fact that hes got steel cased ammo and not brass. Theres a big difference there as well

Hmm, that might explain it. I've only used aluminum mags and brass cased ammo and I just couldn't see that setup weighing more than a pound or so. Next gun show, I'll have to search for an SA-80 mag.

I think a USGI is something like 4 oz and an SA80 is something like 8oz. |

No extra weights, but i AM using my digital bathroom scale... which might be off a little, but it does say 12 pounds. And the discription i provided above "Bushmaster 20" HBAR, Vortex, A2stock, Troy Industries MRF-R, Tango Down front grip, 30 rds Wolf in a British Steel 30rd mag" is all I am running. Just thought i would share the story with you all. btw. i have noticed TWO things. #1 the rifle length gas system, combined with the rifle buffer.... is SMOOTH AS BUTTAH!! #2 there is NO RECOIL WHATSOEVER S |
