V7 Weapon Systems
Anyone running any of their gear yet? I know Joel that used to be with Noveske is with them. Some of their gear looks interesting, a lot of titanium stuff. The new 57 degree selector and titanium gas block looks nice.

V7 has some interesting stuff, but nothing that makes me want to think that's a must buy.

Some of the parts are titanium, some are 7075 T6 Aluminum, and a couple are "Super Aluminum"... whatever that is supposed to be. Either way, there you go. Looks like you'd save a smidge over 1 oz per $100-One Nation, Under God

I kinda got lucky and found a massive list with the weights of pretty much every single part of an AR, so once I found it, it was mostly just sifting for the specific parts and looking up the prices on V7's site.
The difference for the 57 degree selector you like:
V7 Right Hand 57* Selector- .3 oz.
Standard Selector -.6 oz
V7 Ambi (long, short) 57* Selector - .35 oz.
BAD CASS SA/ST (long & short) safety selector - .85oz.-One Nation, Under God

V7 selector is cheaper than the BAD CASS SA/ST and doesn't require me to file the bump off. I do however love feel of my BAD selectors.
