V7 Titanium GI Barrel Nut
Another Titanium GI AR part from V7 Weapon Systems, their titanium AR-15 Barrel nut. The new barrel nut is made from grade 5 titanium and made to your standard milspec dimensions. V7 Weapon Systems claims the weight of the barrel nut is 22 grams vs 37 grams of a standard GI Barrel nut. However the price is also quite different $67 vs $5. For those that need absolutely the lightest parts on the market.

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!

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.

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.
