Starting to look a lot like what I'm planning once the BCM midlength .625 14.5" comes out.
Robb, any thoughts on tapered single-shield cavarms handguards with Streamlight plastic rail attached and stock FSB vs. Troy extreme, ultra-shaved FSB and DD front sight (as you have) in terms of weight of one setup vs the other?
After checking that barrel site, pretty sure turning down a regular barrel is preferrable for financial reasons!
Hadn't really considered the CavArms all plastic lower+stock, but A1 length is desireable.
Which drop in match trigger would be most desireable for this hunting gun?
I use standard Colt trigger groups in my work guns, but the idea of a crisp, light trigger has appeal for this application.

The tapered CAR handguards are quite light but I think that offset would be cancelled out by the weight of the FSB and handguard cap. The Troy rail is extremely lightweight plus you'll have to factor in the weight of the delta ring, snap ring and weld spring. I'll weigh bbl nut, delta ring, snap ring, weld spring, FSB w/2 taper pins, front sight post, detent and spring and a handguard cap tomorrow. I can't remember what a 11" Troy rail weighs with it's bbl nut. I'm fairly certain the ultra low shave w/pins, Troy rail with it's bbl nut and a DD front sight is lighter. I'm certain you'll like the BCM .625" bbl. I have two BCM guns I use for 3gun now and both are excellent, very high quality stuff.

Curious.....what's the approx. cost to have Adco do a barrel turn like that?
Been there, heard that. Made a 14.5" .625-barrel blaster for momma back when JP was making oversized vented handguards... "It's too heavyyyyyyy"...
Fast forward a decade and I hand her a Scout M1A at the Springfield booth at SHOT and ask her what she thinks... "Not bad..."

I was confused but I wasn't gonna say a word. Some women must get stronger with age- lol.
GotM4, that is a sweeeet setup. If you want to try an uber lightweight light option, I'm interested in trying the new S&W Flashlights 3V weaponlight the
same way you have yours setup. Should be shorter and significantly lighter than the TL3 or X300.

I keep liking this build
Is there a reason most people don't cut the chopped down FSB in half as you did (other than maybe leaving an un-parked band of barrel exposed)?
