Is the PRI Gen III alot lighter in weight, when compared to other Free Floats? Isn't it made from carbon fiber or somethin'?

Thanks,

IIRC, the DD & LaRue are lighter.

??? They arent lighter than the PRI carbon tube. how could that be? Maybe with that heavy ass ARMS rail along the top.

the mounting "nut" on the PRI tube weighs a ton, as do the accessory rails mounted to the tube.

Does any one have the weights of the above mentioned Free Floats? I should also mention that it is a Rifle length free float that I will need.

Thanks

Yeah, you gotta run it without the rails.


Best option, fun a search for a carbon fiber free float tube. Brownells used to seel them too. Its just a round carbon fiber tube, very light.
