Basically I am at a loss on which to purchase. I have a FN M4A1 Profile 14.7 on my rifle and my wife complains it is front heavy. It is, but I love the feel of it and not overly heavy for me. My rifles configurations is as followed. Vltor Mur Upper, AAC BCG, Seekins BAR 12', FN 14.7 M4A1 barrel, XTC..
Her rifle currently consists of the following:
Aero Precision Upper
Samson/RA Evolution 11' Free Float
Rainier Arms XTC
Obviously I want to keep it as light as possible for her. Whats the problem? Get the lightweight right? Maybe its my inexperience or ignorance but the lightweight runs a .625 block instead of a .750, can someone school me on my dilema?
