Need one 5lbs, 16" barrel. I've seen them here and there but can't remember exactly. Kinda pricey but I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone.

Do not want to build my own.

BCM RECCE MCMR LW 16" is 5.8 pounds.

BCM RECCE MCMR LW 14.5" (16" with pinned and welded mv). 5.7 pounds

thanks Kyle ill check them out

Take a look at these.

Believe they are right at the five pound mark.

You are only able to lift 5lbs?

Also is that 5lbs unloaded, no optic?

I don’t know the weight, but my retired duty rifle was extremely light, it’s a Modern Carbine. I’ve been exceptionally happy with its performance

Forgot to mention, I need to be able to use a suppressor. The Faxon's muzzle brake is integral, very cool but it won't come off.

The KE Arms WWSD rifle is about 5 pounds I believe.

barely

I looked at these. VERY nice. Might be busting my price point

My boy at 903 Tactical Arms makes ultralights

does he have a website? i think i found his facebook

one word…Seekins, that was a good one wasn’t it.

Please don’t mount a 3lb Hubble telescope on it. Might throw off the balance.

Don't you strictly shoot from a bench with a fancy rest anyway? I've never seen a range pic from you that didn't have some contraption that supports your entire rifle. Why the strict weight requirement?

So, if I build my own, well, somebody build it for me, he has all the tools, are these the parts I need?

1. Lower
2. Trigger
3. Parts kit?
4. Barrel
5. Handguard

What else?

Upper:
Stripped Upper Receiver
Forward Assist
Dust Cover Assembly (or just buy a "complete" stripped upper that the Forward Assist and Dust Cover are already installed)
Barrel
Rail
Gas Block
Gas Tube
Muzzle Device
Bolt Carrier Group
Charging Handle

Lower:
Stripped Lower Receiver
Lower Parts Kit (get one without the fire control group since you're using a drop in trigger)
Grip (if your lower parts kit doesn't come with one or if you want a different one than the A2)
Buffer Tube
Buffer Spring
Buffer
Mag

No website I believe. I think he is deployed right now but his FIL is running shop while he’s out.

Thanks Kyle, AGAIN, Yes, I went on Wilson Combats website and saw AAALL the parts I left off

Last year I was going to build an upper and put it on a lower that I already had. I priced out the individual components with a WC barrel and BCG. Turns out, it was about the same price to just buy a complete upper from WC with all WC parts. You might just look into that. Not sure about the weight.

Yep. BCM products are hard to beat for a serious rifle.

Yep Buzz any time.

Yea, sometimes after adding up all the parts you can definitely get a premade upper. 1 I just enjoy building them and 2 I get it exactly the way I want it with curating every part individually over a prebuilt one.

Disclaimer a premade/factor built gun is always going to have better resale value than a garage built one unless you just find that one person that is looking for exactly what you built. And knowing Buzz, resale is a huge factor

I almost bought it back, but, I want to suppress this one. The Seekins was P&W, 14.5 barrel.

I think buying one already made. Really don't want to go $2500 for a W.C. I'm trying to pay for a hunt too.

This is basically going to be for home defense (thus the can)

can you suppress an AR pistol?
