The RAS is heavier and is not free float and is MUCH less expensive than a SIR. Are you sure you didnt mean to compare the FF RAS or the RAS II?

BETTER CHECK YOUR SCALES. BOTH THE RAS II (AND M4 RAS) ARE LIGHTER THAN THE SIR.
RAS II = 14 OZ. SIR = 22 OZ. NOT THAT THE WEIGHT IS THE SOLE DIFFERENCE TO CONSIDER. WES GRANT [URL]MSTN.BIZ[/URL] |

Yikes! Man, my bad! I was sure the SIR weighed less. Wes, were those weights taken with the RAS II's pannels?

Im quite suprised at this actually. Where do you think all the weight is coming from on the SIR... or, where did it go on the RAS II? With the entire lower half of the SIR being synthetic, you'd think it would be lighter. Then again, the RAS II does not have the full length aluminum rail on the upper? Either way, I am suprised.

Wow I guess I was just re-mis-quoting what I was told earlier. I guess I was smart to buy that FF RAS from MSTN to keep the weight down. [:P]

THE M4 FF RAS IS A BIT HEAVIER THAN THE RAS II, BECAUSE IT USES THE BIGGER BARREL NUT THAT ALL OF THE KAC FREE FLOATING SYSTEMS USE. THE RAS II USING THE STOCK BARREL NUT IS AMAZINGLY LIGHT.
BUT THE LIGHTEST THING OF ALL IS THE DANIEL DEFENSE M4 FOREND. IT USES AN ALUMINUM BARREL NUT, AND AS A RESULT IS 2.6 OZ LIGHTER THAN ITS KNIGHT'S COUNTERPART. YEP, IN ADDITION TO KNIGHT'S, ARMS, AND PRI, THERE'S ANOTHER CONTENDER, DANIEL DEFENSE. AND THEY ARE ALL GOOD TO GO. WES GRANT [URL]MSTN.BIZ[/URL] |
