No stamped steel gun from the 1940s with optics is going to be lighter than a SR15 with irons
Alex, before you spend over 2000$ on a KAC rifle, what do you currently use? I would say you probably could just get a Magpul CTR and a Knights rail(some places will install it, or order a new upper from BCM) and you will be fine. I would guess nearly all the weight savings is really in the CTR and the rail. I realize that the barrel is also very light, but I really question the difference that it makes and at what cost(accuracy,money, and resistance to heat)? There are more accurate, fluted or dimpled, and different profiles available.
I know the KAC bolt is cool, but I do not really believe it is needed that badly. Many people here swear by the reliability of ARs with normal bolts, and I think that parts replacement will be an issue later on. I never had a failure to extract with my SR15, but it was not 100% reliable as many would make you believe. I am not trying to say the SR15 is not reliable, just I really do not feel it is any better than any of my issued M16A2s. Its just as polished of a turd as a polished turd can beI would not go to the range and bet anyone with a military style AK that your rifle will be more reliable.... The AR15 magazine has some issues, and that is not even talking about the few issues that the design has with parts reliability and maintenance.
