How does it shoot with the A5 and Battlecomp 1.5? You've got me thinking of a lightweight build now too.
OK, been wanting to work on these a little more, and this thread is motivating me. here are my favorite 2 Light Weight, K.I.S.S. rifles. You do not get simpler then Iron Sights, nothing to ever go out with them.
Cav-15 Mark II receiver.
20" A1 pencil barrel
Colt 601 receiver
Modified M16 carrier
Cav Rifle length FAT handgaurds. I like the feel of them.
Pinned on Cav Comp. (don't ask, this was originally done during the ban)
This rifle as it sits is 5lbs 15oz. with a 20inch barrel.
I am going to work more on the carrier and take a couple more Oz out of it. swap the break to a A1 flash hider. Use a set of Cav tapered rifle length HG (with will save 1.2oz). I think that those modifications should take out atleast 6 oz.
Cav-15 Mark II receiver.
16" pencil barrel.
Cav M4 handgaurds
Dan Young light weight carrier
Colt 601 receiver.
As it sits: 5lbs 8oz......
I want to cut the barrel back to 14.5 and attach a A1 flash hider, that will knock a couple ounces off.

How much of the gas block has to be shaved to fit under these. Shaving one to fit underneath my DD Lite was a pain, will this be worse or easier?

How is the recoil impulse on the uber lightweight with the A5? Is the 5oz the standard bufferweight?
I had 3 with my kits: unmarked, -3, -4
Very soft.
A5 unmarked is 5oz (4 weights inside, 2 tungsten and 2 steel)
-3 = (A5H3) 6.3oz (3 tungsten, 1 steel)
-4 = (A5H4) 7.0oz (4 tungsten)
Modified A5 buffers are as follows, (you have to mod them yourself)
A5 Mod1: 4.5 oz (1 tungsten, 3 steel)
A5 Mod2: 3.6 oz (4 steel)
In Project Featherweight (with Battlecomp) and in my KAC SR15E3 (with Triple Tap comp) I'm using an A5 Mod1 4.5oz buffer which shoots very soft. In my 3gun rifle with a JP LMOS 6oz bolt carrier I'm using a A5 Mod2 (4 steel weights) but mine weighs 3.8oz on my cheapy digital scale.
