Did you drop it in cement? You need a few more options, put 2 wheels on that bipod and tow it behind your Jeep! Make sure you adjust for windage. |

18lbs... 20lbs...it still dont count, without groop pics!
I wonder what the post master would do if I took mine to the post office to have weighed... 
Where or with what are you guys getting your numbers? Im sure a bathroom scale is not going to get even within a pound at the bottom of the scale like that. |

Mine are both in the 7lb range. The two uppers are roughly equal in weight but the one on the heavier lower has a microdot and the one on the cav arms lower has a 4-12x scope. It balances out.

Many people seem to have forgotten these are supposed to be light weight rifles.
I too went off track....but am correcting. First step: ditched the PRS nd UBR....too damn heavy. |

I think that the average weight for carbines is going to be around 8-9lbs unloaded if they carry an optic and a light. Weight matters a lot. Lug around an 8 or 9lb carbine, and then pick up a stripped down LW barreled model and it feels like a toy. The same goes for transitioning from a heavier 10-12lb rifle to a 8-9lb carbine.
My carbine always feels heavy to me until I pick up someone else's, then it feels very lightweight afterwards. I guess that means that I did well in picking my parts. Also, where the weight is on the gun matters. Any mass more than a half inch or so above the barrel is going to "feel" like it is making the gun top-heavy. Any weight in front of the FSB is going to do the same.

With me holding it on the bathroom scales right after the Christmas holidays it gained about ten pounds.
But now, after it's taken a good morning mag dump my M4g weighs right at 7.8lbs with light and M3. |

I thought that these things were supposed to be light weight rifles, my carbine weighs about 8lbs and my rifle weighs about 10lbs. and we complain about how much a Garand weighs.

I shoot my Garands as often as my AR. Haven't really cared about the difference in weight. Both are fun to shoot, but what the AR loses in lack of "ping", it makes up for in capacity. For the record, My LMT is heavier than a Garand by a bit. |

My AR weights vary just like most of the members here because of different optics, no optic, weaponlight, no light, barrel length and contour, stocks, and I'll callout the major components, all are with sling and fully loaded 30rd PMAG with M855/ SS109 ammo.
Colt 6721 with 16" medium contour midlength barrel LaRue FF 9.0 rails & FUG VFG Vltor EMOD stock Aimpoint M2 with LaRue cantilever QD mount Magnifier with LaRue pivot QD mount Surefire M961C weaponlight 11 lb Colt 6721 factory HBAR 16" carbine gas system KAC M4 RAS rails Vltor IMOD stock EOTech 551 (small model) with LaRue QD mount Surefire M951C weaponlight 10.5 lb LMT M4 16" government profile barrel carbine gas KAC M4 RAS rails KAC VFG Magpul CTR stock with enhanced 0.7" rubber buttpad EOTech 551 Surefire M951C weaponlight 9.6 lb Colt M16A2 clone rifle government profile 20" barrel KISS, no optic and no light 8.8 lb RRA A4 9mm carbine 16" government profile barrel Daniel Defense EZ CAR 7 rails & CAA VFG with storage compartment Magpul MOE stock No name RDS Surefire G2 light with Daniel Defense offset PAK QD light mount 32 round C Products SS mag (with IMI 9mm SMG ammo) 9.5 lb (when my 9mm carbine was new KISS setup without rails, VFG, light and RDS = 8 lb loaded) One of my next project would be a lightweight carbine with lightweight components.
