My lightweight build

**TA7969** · 21 March 2015, 09:46

Just waiting on the selector, mag catch/release, bolt catch and trigger. Haven't been able to weigh it yet but it's easily my lightest AR. Should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing how the vg6 epsilon performs.
Rough weight estimate on our digital bathroom scale has it around 5.3 lbs right now so I'm pretty happy with that, could have shaved a little more weight with a pencil barrel but I just prefer a heavier profile barrel.
Waiting on seekins ambi selector/mag release/bolt catch and will have a Cmc flat trigger. The Samson sights are off of one of my other builds, I'd like a set of DD fixed for this if I could find them anywhere in stock

She's a beauty! Can you measure one of the M-Lok covers for me?

Which CMC are you going to use?

I have mine and I love it. 3.5 single stage flat...

I am also looking at ELFTMAN Tactical triggers... those look really nice as well.

3.5 flat single stage. I've got the same one in 3 others and I won't use anything else anymore. Want to try the 2 stage in my 18"

Np. Really like the feel of these so far. Very sleek but gives substantial grip

Here's my elf 3gun trigger. Very nice for sure, but a lot of tweaking to get it "just right". If I could do it over Id get another SD-3G.

Well damn...wasnt expecting the seekins parts till next week but they came today.
Not sure I'm sold on the safety, it's pretty sharp and really tight in the lower so it digs into your thumb when moving it plus the finish is much more blingy than the mag release even though they're supposed to be the same finish.

Threw the selector levers in the brass tumbler, hopefully it dulls them up a bit.
