I am about to undergo a "featherweight" project of my own, courtesy of my wife. She went shooting a carbine with me today for the first time () and expressed that a) she wants to have one rifle that's hers b) everything I have is too heavy. I want her to succeed, and I am going to sent one my uppers (16" standard BCM middy) for contouring and shortening.
The question I have for all resident experts is what would be a reasonably lightest contour - both under handguard and forward of FSB - that would not overheat excessively and maintain decent accuracy and rigidity.

. Done that before, for other reasons. I have no argument. She has four shelves worth of sports trophies to exactly zero of mine and ranked #1 at her level in Intermountain district. She gets bored in gym. She doesn't want muscular-looking arms, and, as you know, once looks and appearance are brought in, you have no chance...
