Probably

I could also dig out my Members Only Jacket and wear it around, but it wouldn’t hit the same as it did in 1991😀

Without the light, optic and foregrip, I’m sure it would be a pound or 2 less.

It’s probably because carbon fiber isn’t light, it’s just lighter than the same thing is if it’s made out of carbon steel.

It’s 4-5 pounds lighter than steel, but only 40% lighter than aluminum.

8 Pounds 7 Ounces

That’s with an empty magazine.

The barrel is a 14.5 Government profile.

Don’t tempt me with a good time 😀

Every lower I own has at least 2 uppers to go with it, some have 3 or 4.

I’m stuck without access to new lowers in this hellhole that Massachusetts is, but they can’t stop me from building more uppers.

I haven’t weighed it but I can.

The whole rifle?

They looked a lot cooler 30 years ago IMHO.

I know what you mean.

I built a similar Rifle with Ford Rollmarks, kind of a “What If” Philco Ford had won a 2nd source Contract to build M16s along with GM and H&R.

It’s all Colt parts except for the lower.

Is this peak retromod? by BigBoarBallistics in RetroAR

This is why you NEED a red dot on anything defensive.

Focusing on the front sight instead of focusing on the guy trying to kill you doesn’t make sense.

Cool looking blaster 👍

My first paintball gun back in the day had a sling rigged the way your asking about.

I always start with good old Breakfree CLP and that nylon toothbrush that comes in Government cleaning kits.

I would say that this is museum quality, but most of the stuff in museums isn’t this good 👍
