Scout Rifle AR build

[LRRPF52]

When you try to adhere to the weight limit on a .308 gas gun, it becomes unmanageable due to torque. That’s why so many people are having reliability issues with the POF Rogues, Revolutions, and the new SFAR.

For a 7lb total package with optics, you need a lot of lightweight components and a lesser torque-inducing cartridge in a gasser.

You want the FAB stock due to the spare magazine carrier like the Steyr and the Black Label AR-15 integral Handguard/Bipod combo I take it.



The 14” Black Label is 24oz, which leaves you 88oz.

Not sure what the weight of the FAB Defense stock is.

You might have to go 2A Palouse Lite receivers (13.1oz) or Balios-Lite (12.3oz).

Proof CF wrap barrel or pencil barrel. Proof will hold up to longer strings of fire and not wander like a pencil barrel.

Proof makes an 18” RLGS Grendel barrel, 29oz.
