Hi guys,
I've been dreaming of a lightweight rifle for many years. I'm not a hunter or a shooter, but I really love light things. Looking over rifles and parts for years now I just had a burning desire to build something knowing I could design something lighter than what was currently available.
After tons of research I decided to build an AR-15 as I could build it without any special skills and minimal special tools, I could also get it a pound lighter than the lightest bolt rifle parts list I could put together.
After 2 years of buying parts, researching, dreaming and scheming I've finally finished something I am very proud of. This rifle has more plastic/carbon fiber in it than steel and being an AR-15 is limited in power but still I think it's pretty cool
16" 6.5 Grendel barrel, carbon hand guard, carbon stock, carbon lower, polymer upper, polymer lpk, aluminum bcg and basically the lightest option for every part used put together makes a 3# 2.3oz rifle. I still need a mag (~2oz) and some rounds to test fire but thought I'd show her off
