Did you see any weight savings?
Beretz's, if you're going from all-steel bottom metal to an aluminum blind trigger bow you'll see savings, especially considering you're losing the weight of one round. If you're going from PT&G Aluminum 1-piece to an aluminum blind trigger guard the weight savings is negligible, perhaps an ounce for the bottom metal (the filled-in area at the bottom of the magazine well adds a tiny bit of weight). My guess is it's no more than a 2oz - 2.5 oz savings including the lost round, but I'll be interested to hear what Pathfinder says from actual experience!
I far and away prefer a blind magazine.
Nice looking rig Pathfinder! I have three M70 "ADL" trigger guards for upcoming projects.
