What are your impressions so far on St Croix vs Red-X?
If you could only pick one, which would it be and why? I am too waiting for the Spikes, but may end up with one of these as an interim soution. |

The SCT has a mpi c158 bolt and regular phosphate gas key The redxarms has a 9310 also claims mpi on web site and a nickelbor on gas key Both stacked good. The carriers look 100% identical SCT laser engraved logo on there and redxarms bolt has a X in it. So for the price and nickel boron gas key I would go with the redxarms And it's a toss up on the bolt. Some say 9130 is better some say 158 I think 158 is stronger Edit: noticed you don't have weight for magpul ASAP plate it's 1.3oz Magpul BUIS front 1.1oz Primary arms red dot with riser 6.4 oz Geissele 13" mod4 (before key mod) 12.9oz Seekins 13" SAR 14.1oz Seekins 7" SAR 9.2oz Magpul Moe carbine 6.8oz no delta ring ect Magpul moe mid length 8.8oz Standard plastic caribe hand guard 5.3oz Magpul BAD lever 0.2oz Palmetto state armory 16" ltw mid length barrel 23.2 oz (Final got my scale out and have a lot of builds going on so weighing as much stuff as I can think of.) |

I'm going to be doing another LW build for my lady and I, and as I get parts in I will do individual weights for all the parts. I will be using 2 of the integral triggerguard Anderson lowers and the Anderson LPK with a Fortis QD endplate and Ergo grips. She liked that grip better than the Magpul MOE+ so Ergo it is. how much weight did milling that square out of the mag well save? Did you just do that side only? |

I put a billet set on the scale yesterday
The upper is 5.95 oz stripped, no forward assist Lower is 6.60 oz stripped I am affiliated with the company though, so I don't think I can tell much about it without getting snuffed out by ARF.

I agree concerning lights. I've always hated heavy ARs, going back to my old SP1 I bought new in 78. Still have it. Without losing function, I've tried to go as light as reasonably possible(w/o breaking the bank) for my light systems since they make a huge impact on swing weight and overall balance. Top light is a 5.11 Atac L1(uses 1 CR123). 3 Multi function. Bright(173lums, 94 meters, 2 hr), dim, strobe. Weight was 2.7oz i think. Lower light is the Streamlight Pro Tac 1(also uses 1 CR123). Same functions and specs. 173 lums. Its just over 2oz. The Elzetta mounts weigh 2.8oz with hardware. So either runs about 5-5.5oz total. Both lights are inexpensive too, with both running around $48 ea. The Streamlight was from Midway, but forget where the 5.11 came from.

The Mag Tactical "Viper" lightweight muzzle brake claims 1 oz. If it is in fact 1.0 ounces, it would be the lightest brake available. It appears to be long enough to use on 14.5" barrels to make them legal.

As much as i like light weight I'm down to the point where the only weight i can loose is to spend $200.00 at v7 to save 2oz. That is quite a bit of 9mm ammo or even 5.56. I think i reached to point of diminishing return till a lighter weight receiver set and barrel come out. But I'm happy sitting at 6lb 2oz with optic.

Aimpoint H1 with Larue LT751 mount - 5.8 oz had planned to weigh them separately but the mount and optic was shipped to me mounted together by Larue and I couldn't bring myself to undo their work unnecessarily. Mfg says H1 weighs 3 oz so that leaves 2.8 oz to the LT751 by my measurement and math. |

Looking real hard at the Fortis F1 Aimpoint Micro mount, and it looks odd, but the 1.1 oz weight is attractive.
ETA: Also looking forward to the Aero Precision T1 mount whenever it comes out so I cant pull the trigger on the F1 just yet.

The sureifire 30 cal mini socom and its mount weighs exactly 1.01lb. So, if possoble, I need to get a gun w/ T1 & BUIS. Well, 5.5lbs w/ optics and BUIS is more realistic.

Yeah, without the optic/mount its 5lb 12oz, The spikes Buis are the lightest option that I know of for backups. Its very nice having a LW rifle. I could have lost a few more ounces by using V7 parts and a different gasblock and flashhider also going down to a regular carbine buffer. But the barrel came with a gasblock already drilled for a pin so i saved myself about a hundred fifty vs buying and having adco pin it.

I am late to the party but have been eyeing a lightweight build for fun. Forgive me if these are repeats.
Burris PEPR 30mm 
Does anyone have the weight of a Hogue overmolded Grip? 
This suprised me the most. Of course the OP stock was empty, I can only imagine with batteries. A2 stock weighed in at 14 oz without spacer or bolt (no pic).

Look into the LaRue absolute co-witness with the VFZ mount. Package weight will be about 5.35 ounces.

Also, are we aware of this Mako polymer ejection port?? [url=http://www.themakogroup.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1042803&CAT=8639]http://www.themakogroup.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1042803&CAT=8639 Has F/A. Lighter than all but the MT I guess I just put a Mako door on. There are 2 ribs in the inside of the door that the spring rests on...you have to dremel those off or the door won't shut. I put the V7 FA in also. It is about 1/2 the weight of stock. |

So is this a complete list of every part needed if an individual were so inclined to build their own rifle? Pretty much. If you look at the spreadsheet in the first post, there are example builds that include all parts. The LPK includes most of the small parts needed. Also, I used the spreadsheet to estimate my build, and it ended up being within 0.5 oz of the estimate. |

Tomorrow I'll get the 15" SP3R weighed, and post it. I'll also add the weight of the barrel nut. But for now, you can see this thing is a PIG even without the barrel nut.....
Seekins Precision SP3R 12".. I'd venture to say that with the barrel nut you can expect it to weight about an OZ per INCH! 
ETA: I'll also get a weight for the 10" Seekins MCSR v2 with the barrel nut. I think what's in the OP is about right on, though. |

It's not too hard to figure out which ones are light especially when a lot of the light parts are highlighted in a different color. |
