How much does your AR weigh, and are you content with its current body image or think it could stand to gain or lose a few ounces or pounds?
>>
AR build #1 - 8.9lbs. Huge scope. Once I put my UBR on, probably close to 10lbs.

AR build #2 - 8.0lbs. Another rather large scope.

AR build #3 - 6.7lbs. Basic 16" carbine with irons and drop-in handguard.

I don't care about weight because I'm not a wannabee tacticool faggot who thinks they are an operator.

Probably put 500 rounds a month through the three AR'S in the non-summer months here in Phoenix. Summer months, significantly less. So before you jump to conclusions about something you have zero clue about, why not keep your cocksucker shut.

12lb 223 ar15, thick barrel with 17" hand guard, 1+lb scope. its for bench shooting but I did go hunting with it this year and didn't mind the weight over my 2-5lb .270 I usually take.

got a 5.5lb 300aac ar15 also, tiny holo sight, 7" barrel with 5" hand guard. will be under 5lb after i get my new lower on it.
>>
13 lbs
7 lbs
6.5 lbs

even if its double the weight its still manageable the only issue is balance. the 13 lb gun feels like a 22lr when you shoot it.

barebones AR is best AR

Trying for a sub 5 lbs. build.

Is a regular bathroom scale accurate enough?
>>
>>32145544
more accurate if you weigh it with you then minus your weight from that. most bathroom scales don't work well under 50lbs.
kitchen scale would be better.
>>
>>32145510
I know, but I'm kind of pushing the limits on my bathroom scale already.

thats not even a full combat load per weapon, scrub.

No, those are made that way. It's woven carbon fibre. I think it's supposed to be the lightest available.

I'd like to have a really lightweight pencil barrel build at some point. Really minimal, kept in my trunk. A 6920 sits in there now, but I've always wanted a super barebones 14.5 pencil barrel build.

You don't care about weight because you're a fucking fatboy who likes to collect shiny shit without knowing how to use it, like a fucking gook in his ricer Honda

It could use some foil or something on the underside to reflect heat away from your hand.
>>
>>32151023
Looks nice. The muzzle device could probably be lighter.

>>32141749
did you just assign a common designation to my extremely unique 5.56x45 semi automatic, shoulder fired weapon platform? in 2016?
>>
>>32153446

Yea it definitely can, but I got that beefy guy since its renowned for recoil reduction. Supposedly up to 75%.

Clueless, clueless typical millennial faggot who knows shit about weapons other than what he reads from other clueless faggots on an anonymous message board. Quite possibly a noguns. Do everyone a favor and kill yourself.

Anyone that cares how much their AR has to weigh is an idiot. It's an AR, not a 240 it's weight is a godsend. And if you think a rifle is to heavy go do some pullups

Where do you get that handgaurd?

Looks like a ton of jewstars.

What stock is that? What Grip?? and how does everyone like the Lancer mags? I just got an AR and a pack of PMAGs but then read how good Lancers are on ar15.com.

Also, that front iron, is that better than a rail with front/rear magpull sights?

I'm new. Please help me /k/

I have an Aero Precision rifle with No furniture. I need to set it up.
>>
>>32158036
pmags are fine, if not better than lancers. iron sights are preference; that one is a KAC 'stolen valor' 600m sight with a clamp on A2 FSB. magpul mbus or mbus-pro are fine as well.

M16A2 clone - 8.8lbs loaded w/ buttstock cleaning kit & sling

About 8.4 lbs unloaded at the moment. Middy 16" carbine, gov't profile barrel, Surefire G2X in an HSP Thorntail hanging off the front on a DD Omega 9.0. Aimpoint H-1 on top.

I've got a new rail and gas block on the way that I think are going to help a fair bit in the weight department. After that I'm swapping the stock for a B5 Bravo instead of the ACS-L, then changing the light to an Arisaka 300 series to trim off more weight. It *should* bring the whole thing down to about 7.8 lbs or so unloaded, but Gunstruction likes to lie on occasion about weights so who knows. As long as it's less front-heavy I'll be happy.
