Kind of agree...$65 dollar titanium barrel nuts...Wow...

[MoxyDave]

Lol yes the industry as a whole has just jumped the shark [:-)]

I kid ... choices are good. I guess if I want a titanium barrel nut it's nice to have that option.

Next up, titanium grip screw!

I like the looks of their selector and gas block. Would like to see some titanium muzzle devices.

I've seen those, want to see brakes not hiders. An A2 isn't that heavy, 2 and 3 chamber brakes can be.

How 'bout Titanium takedown pin springs? Feasible? Sigh.

You have to wonder how big the market there is for the absolute lightest weight component out there, especially when the titanium counterparts seem to be 2-20x more than their aluminum equals.

Then there's the fact when people use lightweight components, they knowingly or unknowingly use heavier parts on other parts of the gun, nullifying any weight savings.

Prime example is my wife's carbine. I'm going with the CMT receiver set because it's available, and that's what I have, but the billet receivers basically cancelled out the weight savings of the LW barrel. I'm rethinking that entire build as we speak.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Letting me offset the weight of something I don't want to compromise on can be very valuable.

Oh I'm following... but I was more thinking about a buddy of mine who used a LW barrel, then proceeded to put on a YHM Quad Rail, Bipod, UBR, ect, probably a 10lb carbine. Then he was bragging to me how lightweight his barrel was and how he could really feel the difference.
