    Thanks man! I like the look of it too. It is a BCM CHF 16" middy that I sent to ADCO. Prior to having it dimpled it weighed 1.76lbs. After the dimpling it weighed in at 1.62lbs. Not a huge weight savings, but I didnt want to go ultra light anyway. More importantly it seems to balance perfectly, and feels much lighter & more balanced from its previous configuration with the PRI rifle length tube/LaRue gasblock/Vltor VST-1 folding front sight, which all translated into to being too front heavy.

    One of Marshall's PA Micros - I wanted to try the Micro concept on a range toy before dropping $$$ on an Aimpoint for a serious social carbine. It's really quite nice, I'd buy another no question.

    If so, I'm sooooo getting one!
    What is the preference of the VTAC over the "old JP/VTAC" version? I saw a couple of the JP's at a match recently and they looked to be good set-ups. I was surprised at the light weight of this system on an 18" fluted Sabre (chrome lined, 1x7) barrel - noticeably lighter than my 16" Noveske Middy with 9" Omega rail. (Both rifles running ACOGs, so the optics weight would be similar.)

    weight savings. If both were weighed without the barrel nut and adding the top rail to the JP/VTAC to compare it apples to apples with the Battlerail. I just estimated the top rail weight based on the Troy 4" rail.

    JP/VTAC rifle length - 15 oz. + full length top rail at 5 oz. = 20 oz.
    vs.
    Battlerail 13"- 11.1 oz

    That much weight loss will significantly change the balance and feel of the rifle.

    I really like the looks and weight of the TRX Extreme. I actually prefer the holes of the TRX over the slots of the Vtac...

    Is there an issue with mounting the rails with the Slots on the vtac?
