I really want one of the Bushy uppers just like you got. I have plenty of lowers. I'm looking for light weight as well.

I did build a light weight AR with a Tennessee Arms polymer lower and a Del-Ton light weight carbine upper and I guess it's around 5.5 lbs with no sight. I also did a Del-Ton mid length light weight barrel on a Tennessee Arms polymer lower and it is only an ounce or 2 heavier than the carbine length rifle.

Alas, both now reside at my son's house. One for him and one for his wife. I really need to get them back and play with them some more.

You did good B. A 2-7 scope is about right if you want to keep it light weight. If you want to lose another ounce or two replace the flash hider with a thread protector. You might be able to find an aluminum one.
