Well it depends on the brand because all 3 sets of my colt factory hand guards weight about 5.63oz (+/- .01oz) per side (using a triple beam balance).So what your saying is that you bought crappy aftermarket or some demilled factory ones. Their is a difference between colt and poor quality/ spare GOV surplus. But it won't affect your shooting one bit unless your OCD about balance.
