Well, Brownells screwed up and sent me a stripped lower when I ordered a complete lower (backordered). Long story short, I have most of an upper but no lower. I'm starting to understand why a few here have recommended the 16" LW barrel for 308. It's really quite beefy for a LW barrel and I wonder what the 18" really gains besides weight.

MLKMWS Upper : 30.2 oz. (1 lb 14.2 oz)
LW CL 16" Barrel Assy: 44.4 oz. (2 lb 12.4 oz)
Geissele SCH : 1.6 oz.
Total Upper minus BCG : 76.2 oz. (4 lb 12.2 oz)
The BCG adds around 18 oz and I'm still unsure of whether to go for the semi or full-auto BCG. I'm also considering the ATACR 4-16x F1 instead of the 1-8x for this setup. I don't really have a need for a "battle rifle." If I eventually get the 6.5 barrel, would the 4-16x still be a good match?
