Really not liking the bulk of the Diamondhead sights, but they do have one redeeming quality, their not tritium, I forget what you call 'em

Nicely done.

I did a B.A.D. LW build a few months ago. It comes in a little heavier than yours, but I was not going for the lightest weight I could get. It is more of a lightweight SPR. It comes in at 9lbs 5.3ozs with an empty 30-round PMAG.

Nice rifle, I made a few choices that added some ounces, but it feels real good
