Variable Wrote: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?
Woah! Boomfab..... That thing is insane! So cool and extremely light. I think it's funny the price of the Balios puts you off but you mention Boomfab. Just giving ya a hard time
But that would pretty much be my dream featherweight AR-15 you described Variable. Someday....someday.
So my main concern with the Balios Lite is the strength and fit for the barrel extension. I wouldn't want it if there's much play. As mentioned above I have considered Marks LW upper but it weighs 10.5 oz, which isn't very light compared to the Balios. But from the reviews I've read on Marks stuff, they are top notch and very tight fitting which matters more to me than a couple ounces.
I still can't make up my mind :confused:
