    Hmm, great - now I have to wonder if maybe instead I should look into a BCM middy - wonder if they make a real lightweight one?

    I'm pretty sure that they have lightweight middy uppers in stock.

    Holy crap - even at my WORST when building my various ARs I never did something THAT bad!

    OK, question then:

    Is there a huge difference between the weight of a BCM 14.5" middy vs. the BCM 14.5" middy lightweight? I recall reading something somewhere where the owner of BCM stated that due to changing the FSB/gas block to accomodate the .625" barrel on the LW that he was realistically looking at only about a 1 oz weight difference between the two.

    Clydes

    For what it's worth: I have bought multiple carbines from Clydes and have gotten perfect CS and great pricing. I am very surprised and dismayed to read the above experience. I hope it is an anomaly.

    Thanks for the info and opinions, guys. Just ordered a BCM LW Middy 14.5", their special charging handle, and a M16 FA regular bolt and not the special wunder-kind.

    Look forward to trying them out - I'm trying hard to keep the weight down and go old-school with non-FF handguards (MOE from Magpul), normal FSB with tritium post, Troy flip-up rear, maybe eventually a Micro or Patrol optic.

    Well, guess I'll get the 6720 now.
    Was the gun in Sebring? If so, I was the one that snagged it
