That's the main reason I've never owned a large framed AR before. I want to take a little weight off IF I can do it economically. It has a composite PRI handguard on it now and I don't like it even if it weighed half an ounce. Not sure I'll keep the buttstock as well. The barrel is a Lilja and I know it shoots, so it stays, weight be damned. It's probably gonna weigh ten pounds or better all ready to rock no matter what I do, so I'll just have to get used to it.
