    I've cut down FSBs before and always kept the two pins for redundancy.

    I wonder if it would be possible to install a set-screw in the bottom of the remaining "band" of the FSB and dimple the barrel for it, giving you a little extra security for the paranoid like me. Although on a pencil barrel the pin hole in the barrel itself tends to break through the outer portion of the barrel so I guess there wouldn't be any place for the screw. Maybe do one on the side...

    That is awesome.. I’m sure the wife is pleased..

    If I may make just one small suggestion.. IMO (this is only me, I’m a little different) no rifle especially an “evil” rifle is truly complete with a proper mag picture.. Now since this is for the wife! I have just the thing in mind, of course you can also change up the color too..




    Or perhaps?





    Just a thought..

    I'll be more than happy to help answer any questions you might have and will even send you the stencil if you want / decide to give it try..

    Well I think you picked the right rail. I had one for an article in SWAT Magazine and although I did not put it on the scale and compare it to a bunch of others, I felt it was the lightest I'd handled.

    That thing needs an aluminum flash-hider..... or just an A-1, I'll bet that'll be an ounce lighter than what's on it......

    Ned I weighed a three prong old school flash hider, an A1 and A2 and the FSC556 was the same weight as the A1 and actually a little lighter than the three prong and A2. And since the FSC556 works as a comp and a flash hider I naturally thought it was a good fit.

    Question

    I'm interested in a lightweight build and have some questions. Anyone know where I could get a Colt CAR stock? I did find these two, any opinions?

    C.A.R. Stock, Complete with buffer & spring (Collapsable), ar15products.net

    C.A.R. Auminum Stock, Complete with buffer & spring (Collapsible), ar15products.net

    Is the CAR stock lighter than the CTR?

    Are these two #1 and #2 with respect to lightest stock, the CAR being the lightest, CTR second lightest?

    Yes. The plastic CAR stock is the lightest I've ever seen.

    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.
    My Google Fu is weak. What weapon light are you referring to?!

    A few questions Regarding the JP LMOS unit

    What is the difference in weight between the JP unit and a BCM carrier?

    I saw the JP does not have forward assist cuts - no worries about using this with a upper with forward assist, no?

    Is the JP unit considered good for just plinking or competition, or would you trust it as your carrier on your goto gun?


    Thanks!
