    I would look at this, it is finally back in stock. Get some 10 & 20 rnd PMAGS to help keep weight down.

    Just to think outside of the box.......

    Have you considered an 11.5" bcm upper on a pistol lower with a Sig arm brace? It can still be shouldered (rather comfortably from what others say here) and would shift the balance and make it feel even lighter for her.

    Interesting idea, how's the recoil and aimed accuracy?

    From what I understand it's about as accurate as any 11.5" rifle, it can be shouldered, and doesn't look or feel as goofy as you'd think. The above thread has convinced me to go this route while waiting on a tax stamp. It would also avoid the hoopla of contacting the atf if you ever had to cross state lines with it, as it's a pistol.

    This is looking better and better. I'm still getting up to speed on AR's, is it better to purchase a complete AR pistol (who makes them, who's gtg?) or assemble from components?

    I would buy the upper from BCM. They have quite a few 10.5 "add 11.5" uppers in different configurations.

    You can buy completed pistol lowers, or assemble your own. The hardest part of the lower is aligning and tightening the receiver extension. I think aero precision and spikes offer complete pistol lowers. I would find a lower locally and have everything else shipped to my door if I were going it.

    After that add the arm brace.

    Spikes is well know for making quality firearms for the money, they are GTG but do not stay in stock long. Also with your restricted budget it would be easier to do. This or a Colt AR6720.

    Don't know exactly wha your budget is but it seems you are o the right track. I would do a BCM complete upper with a 10" KMR and either a 14.5" ELW/ELW-F with muzzle break for recoil (unless the noise will be too much for her). Get a blem BCM complete lower from Grant at GandRtactical (he also has the uppers, don't forget the BCG). Then slap a stock on it, something mid weight like a B5 Bravo or CTR on the back to bias the weight towards the rear (which is important to feel light weight at the pivot of the pistol grip) and put you T1/H1 on with either a DD Micro mount or Fortis F1. Use Magpul MBUS gen 2 polymer sights if you did do BUIS and you would have a highest quality, lightweight rifle for maybe $1600 you can get all of this stuf through GandR. He has great deals on Aimpoint Micro/DD micro mount combos.

    If you really want to obsess over this the possibilities are endless and very expensive. Keep it simple and focus on weight saving in the barrel and handguard.

    I also really like the idea of a 10" KMR w/ 11.5" lightweight barrel and an Sig arm brace in the rear of a pistol lower with the same acceaories.

    Good luck.

    This^
    If you want to go the NFA route, get the BCM 11.5" upper w/ BCM KMR 10".
    The KMR is not only EXTREMELY light weight, but it is VERY low-profile, which would allow your wife an easy and comfortable grip of the rail.
