Sorta retro, sorta lightweight build...
I ended up with an old Colt A2 upper in a trade, and I came across a Charles Daley Defense stripped lower that I'd forgotten I still had. Not the best by a long shot, but in spec, so...
Vltor A5 receiver extension tube & A5H2 buffer
Faxon Gunner 16" barrel with A2 front sight
Faxon M16 BCG
Forward Controls Early Production 6315 flash suppressor
ALG Defense Advanced Combat Trigger
Radian Talon Ambi Safety 2-lever kit
Magpul MOE Fixed Carbine Stock, MOE+ grip, MOE Slim Hand Guard mid-length, and M-Lok MVG Vertical Grip
Spike's melonited mid-length gas tube
The only PITA was swapping out the triangular handguard cap for a round one so the slim fore end would work. I really like the way it feels with the Gunner barrel - nice and light at the front end. I'll probably add a small light and call it a day on this one. Simple is good sometimes.
ETA: total weight 6 lbs, 8 3/8 oz. Yes, the right side safety lever is reversed. I can still operate it with my trigger finger and this way it doesn't contact my trigger finger when "off".

Like the idea of the reversed safety, but I don't think I'd ever get used to it after all of these years of dropping the safety the "regular" way.
