Described below is my lightweight AR build. The only part I don’t own yet is the handguard but I think I will go with the SLR, alternatives would be MI, or ERA3. I would like to hear peoples opinions… any suggestions on good parts or how to make it lighter. In parentheses next to a part is the upgrade part I would like to get down the road. The priority with is build is #1 to be accurate shooter. #2 Lightweight. I don’t want to sacrifice accuracy for the sake of having an ultra light rifle.

OPTIC;
HoloSun 503c red dot (T1 clone). This is my first build without a magnified optic. I am not sure how I will like it. I may want to upgrade to something with some mag but have had difficulty finding an option that’s L/W. Maybe a ACOG? Leupold VX-3/VX-? Are LW. Suggestions for a light weight scope? I would use an Aero mount. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks
