How much does your precision AR weigh?

[Agnostic]

I have no way to weigh mine accurately, but it falls somewhere between 8.5 lbs to 9.5 lbs unloaded. It is a 16" BCM SS410 barrel with a VTAC Alpha 13" tube, an ADM recon mount, and a Viper PST 1-4x capped scope.

my dmr 308 is just under 15, unloaded.

[TehLlama]

My 16" HCS Recce (URX 3.1 13.5") with Leupold Mk6 on LT135 tips the scales just over 10lb with the DBAL, X300, and empty magazine.

[Scoby]

14.5" Noveske Afghan Gen II Lower.

11.5 pounds unloaded and unsuppressed.




By far my favorite AR.

Thanks everyone for your input. And pics of your rifles help us see what we're talking about!

[pointblank4445]

10 lbs, 5 oz. as is shown with empty magazine.

[MistWolf]

20" Lothar-Walther HBar profile barrel, VLTOR MUR upper receiver, PRI carbon fiber free float tube, UBR stock, Leupold Mk IV 10x with empty mag, no sling- 10 lbs 12 oz


When the sling is attached, it adds almost a half pound

Let's see, I guess I would consider my rifles I list below SPR's.... But can be configured for many roles. I will post a reply with the exact weights soon. Right now I know right around what they weigh.

My Daniel Defense DDM4 (my MOD) weighs just at 8.5lbs in the configuration you see below with Aimpoint micro T-1.

Couple of specs on my modified DDM4. 8.5lbs =
- Daniel Defense OmegaX 12.0 rail system.
- FailZero Nickle Boron FA BCG.
- BattleComp 1.0
- Spikes Tactical TS-T2 heavy buffer.
- Geissele SSA-E trigger system.
- Aimpoint Micro T-1 (2 MOA dot) on a ADM QD micro mount.
- MagPul BAD lever.
- Troy BUIS.
- LaRue APEG grip.
- MagPul AFG2.
- VLTOR iMOD buttstock. (Now back to running a MagPul CTR).
- Streamlight TLR1s weapon light.
.....etc.



My Black Rain Ordnance 15 is just a bit heavier than my DD which weighs in at just over 9Lbs in its current config with Aimpoint micro T-1.

Couple of spec on my BRO. just over 9Lbs =
- 12in BRO rail system. (A bit heavy. I may switch to a Geissele or Noveske key mod system in the future).
- BRO NiB FA BCG.
- JP Enterprises Silent captured buffer spring system.
- BattleComp 1.0
- Geissele Super Tricon Trigger system.
- Phase 5 Tactical bolt catch.
- Aimpoint Micro T-1 (2 MOA dot) on a ADM QD micro mount.
- Troy BUIS.
- LaRue APEG grip.
- MagPul AFG2.
- MagPul CTR buttstock with enhanced buttpad.
- SureFire x300 Ultra weapons light.
...etc.





NOW to my 308 system which is a LMT 308 MWS. SPR? Depends on mission and config but here it is. I have 2 barrels for this rifle which are the 16in and a 20in chrome lined barrels. The weight obviously changes a bit after a barrel swap but I am going off of my 20in barrel config which I have weighed before with the below accessories and mods installed on it weighed in at 14.5lbs... A bit heavy but not to bad in my mind for a 20in heavy barrel 308 precision rifle system.

Couple of specs on My LMT308MWS (how I weighed it) 14.5lbs =
- Obvious LMT MWS system.
- 20in LMT chrome lined barrel, 20in barrel obviously adds some weight compared to the 16in.
- PWS PRC muzzle brake.
- Geissele Super Tricon Trigger system.
- LMT SOPMOD buttstock.
- H3 heavy buffer.
- MagPul MIAD grip.
- TangoDown stubby front vertical battle grip with ADM QD mount built in. (Not the MagPul MOE you see in pic below).
- Troy BUIS.
- Harris BRM-S bipod with a ADM QD mount.
- Scope mount used is a ADM recon-20moa QD mount.
- Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-1 reticle scope.
- Mag used in weighing was a MagPul 20lr.

(Actually weighed it with my old Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-10x56 TR22R scope as well) both scopes were pretty close in weight. NOW I have not weighed it with my NightForce NXS 5.5-22x50 on it or a light Aimpoint micro but Obviously different optics are going to add and subtract weight.

These are some older misc pics of my LMT MWS in different configurations. The top picture is the config I weighed it with but with my Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP scope mounted instead of my NightForce NXS 5.5-22x50 scope as seen in the pic =






My LMT308MWS in a 16in barrel config. This is actually how it looks now but it's a work in progress since I'm waiting on a MagPul UBR buttstock and New heavy buffer and spring to make it work. In this config with a lite weight VLTOR iMOD buttstock which is temporary and 16in barrel with PWS FSC30 brake the rifle weighs in at 13lbs.





Alright now that you have me really curious I am going to weigh these 3 rifles again and get a more precise weight and will update with my findings.
I have Modified these rifle systems so much that the weights could be off a bit so now that I have them pretty much complete with the exception of my LMT308MWS (waiting to install the UBR stock..etc) I can get a finished weight.

Thanks, and sorry if I rambled on with this long post but I didn't have nothing better to do this morning

I like this thread though especially seeing pics.

Will be adding a Aimpoint T-1 or MEOPTA Z-D w/ LaRue SPR-E (currently on my service rifle), Harris S-BRM & Pod Lock w/LaRue QD, YHM Phantom FH, Fortis 12" rail when they come out, BCM Mod 3, Troy HK BUIS set, KNS Pins Gen 2, Ergo grip. I will also be changing the colors to something like the added picture, I want it a little darker on the Burnt Bronze though. I have all of these parts ready to go on, just have to get back state side at the end of the month and get it completed. (currently in AFG) I think that is it, can't remember it all right now. When I get it completed, I will post back up with final numbers.
