    ... to find out it was actually 10.6 oz lighter than my lightest AR. I was pretty surprised to find that out.

    Something I didn't consider. I do, however, use PALM magazines, which I'm sure would make a difference (maybe not a huge difference) in the loaded weight.

    Hugh I never thought of this. What system DI or piston was the MRP?

    I used both. I segmented the post into three portions, the first being DI, the second being piston, and the third is my rifles.

    Thanks, interesting to see the numbers. As for the AK thing, the paint she is wearing just makes her look fat.

    Very interesting thread. You should weigh some more AKs.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    Thanks Greg. I weighed two CAI's, two Arsenals, a VZ, and a 556R, but forgot two pics (one Arsenal and the 556), and felt the sample size was too small at the time for the AK forum. I'll create a thread as I get access to more AK's.
