I recently stumbled over the Balios upper and lower receivers on Arf also. They look pretty interesting. I'm put off a bit by the price, but I have been pondering them for a future light weight build. I'll be lurking around for more input on these as well.
ETA: A guy in this thread: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_493/25025...per__.html is rocking a 16" 5.56 rifle with an Aimpoint mounted at only 4lbs 13.5oz!!!!
Rusted Ace also has one at 5 pounds 4.8 ounce with the dot and a light....
I'm thinking maybe Balios receiver set, Boomfab carrier, latest lightweight uber rail, a very light weight fluted and nitrided 12.5" barrel, and maybe the lightest thread on titanium can?
