Inspired by your post, I finally pulled the trigger on a DD lite 16 inch barrel and 6 inch DD light rail with Grant. Hopefully I will have it by next weekend. I was at a Hackathorn class this weekend and Sam from this forum had his. It was quite nice. I sold off my trusty Colt Tactical upper. It was a great upper but it is time for me to jump on the lightweight bandwagon.

Greg:
You should have gotten the Troy Extreme rail like mine. I really like the 11" tube, you can mount the rear sight back from the front and put a light at 12 o'clock for ambidextrous use.
Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
I wanted to keep a fixed front sight and I wanted a rail with a profile more like the one on my 416. Plus, I am not really sold on the 12 o'clock mount....yet.

Lol. I just went through my third carbine class in as many years with a hbar 1/9 with a surefire m500. Stubborn is the nice way of putting it.

My Troy TRX Extreme BattleRail 7.6in came in yesterday so today I took it to the Post Office. It has a scale in the lobby that is accessible when it’s closed.
Rail without barrel nut – 6.0oz.
Rail with barrel nut – 7.5oz
Two inch rail with screws and backing - .9oz
Four inch rail with screws and backing – 1.6oz
Thank you for posting the weight list.
I would reprofile the barrel to a lighter weight and that it. FMJs-of-Freedom
