    Yeah in retrospect I should have done a forged lower.

    I have my upper in the equipment exchange, start fresh.

    Probably:
    11.5 DD Lightweight profile
    10.0 DD Lite rail
    Standard forged M4 upper
    Front and rear MBUS
    X300 light

    Eventually a T1 or maybe an RMR in a ADM mount. Until then I may just pick up a Bobro mount for the M2 and ditch the QRP, the Bobro has to be lighter.

    My SBR went on a diet too. I ended up with something close to what you're thinking of.

    DD 10.3"
    DD LITE 9"
    DD 1.5
    G2/VTAC/TNVC TX4
    T1/LARUE

    The weight saving on going to another T1 mount isn't worth the 2-3oz you save for the RTZ/QD on the LARUE

    I see you ave a 51T brake as well. Does your M4-2000 have enough clearance with a 9" rail?

    i'm all about weight these days, but it does get to a point when you're basically just doing it to do it. my shorty with 9.5 FSB rail and m951 is still just a hair under 8.5lbs with a loaded 30rnd mag.. how much lighter can a guy ask for, without sacrificing something important? i do want to go to an x300 eventually, but that's really all i'm willing to do.

    what's she weigh in at presently?

    No M4-2000 but the setup is said to work with the RIS2 and 10.5" barrels so it should work just fine (>1" clearance)

    Elsewhere I said 6933 but then I saw these barrels from Daniel defense and now my vote would be for that.

    Well I sold the said upper and starting from scratch. Ill let you guys know how it goes.

    I did already make 1 purchase though. A DD Mk18RISII rail in black. Ive always wanted one so Ill shave the extra 3oz of a standard Lite rail somewhere else

    I got my 10.3 LW CHF from DD direct on their website.
