Judge not this race .....
How light is "light"? I have one more upper to build and wanted to do something a bit different. I have two "heavy" ARs, and my 3rd is very light, right around 5.5 (core 15). Also what makes it so light outside of the barrel? Is the upper receiver lighter, does it have a low profile gas block? I just don't understand these things yet....

I've been waiting for a barrel to come from Brownells for several months. What good timing, it came last night.
I think Obama would be proud that I used my day off well.
Sweet, now for some range time!

I haven't weighed the complete gun, but it is much lighter than my other 2 AR's. Of course my other 3 are quite heavy. The complete monolithic upper receiver only weights 24 oz. That is a fair bit less than separate receiver, float tube, and rails would weigh. The barrel is only 2 lbs, so while a pencil barrel would probably be just little lighter this one is a lot lighter than all my others since they are all 4-8 inches longer and bull barrels.
The EOTech is right at 12 oz. so it adds some weight as well, but less than a good scope would.
I would guess the entire gun with optics is conservatively about 8 lbs.

Hey, congrats on the new build. Also, did your grip have sharp corners near the trigger guard? I had to remove some material; every time I shot my middle finger would have a big dent in it.

And Joe Bidden would certainly approve of the color coordination ...
