    Can anyone remember how short of a length BCM plans on making their lightweights?

    I plan on getting a Troy TRX Extreme 11" rail but am not sure which gasblock I should go with? Any recommendations?
    That's actually exactly what I was thinking about myself.

    So someone school me. What are the advantages of a lightweight upper? Is it purely weight savings? Is the rest of the upper built to the same specs as all the other BCM uppers? I am in the market for an upper for a lower ive had in the closet for quite some time.

    It's just a pencil barrel. You don't notice how skinny it is?

    It saves weight and should hold up just fine for the normal wear and tear, It's the profile of yesteryear, history does repeat.

    So if you're looking for a simple light practical no BS rifle it's a good upper for a good build. If you plan on mounting lasers and beer can holders I would go with an HBAR :P

    Indeed. Four years from now it will fall out of favor, and then four years after that they will be back in style.

    I was thinking about going with the Vltor Gas Block in .750" diameter because I was under the impression that is the size of the barrel at the gas port. Has anybody verified this information? From the pic it does not look to be as skinny as the DD barrel.

    Also, I see that Vltor has the choice of set screw or clamp-on. Which is preferable in this situation? The gas block will be covered by the Troy rail.
