    Awesome thanks!

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Just wondering if there's any visible gas flow (debris, etc.). Maybe do one with a piece of paper or something over it? Just curious about the force.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    If you remember, I'd be interested to see a video of shooting it with the port open.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Almost shaved an oz with a different mount for the Romeo 5.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Probably not a whole lot. I can get a real nice group with the Tikka and 10 power, but the red dot has a lot of guesswork at 100 when I'm behind it.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Shot mine today. With a red dot I could put 3 shots in about 1.5" using 77 TMKs I loaded. No where as good as my Tikka, but not bad considering the limitations of my optics setup. Should work perfectly for my 25 to 75 yard whitetail shots that I will see when using it. Lastly, the thermalfit...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I have a pic in post 360 that shows a 10.25 guard on that barrel. You can see a 1" sleeve over the gas port. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/ultralight-ultralight-rifles.329402/post-3481275

    Removing Loctite from action threads?

    More loctite should make the dry stuff wet again. Put some on there and see if it breaks it loose.

    I forgot to mention that my 16" gas AR I hunted with last year is 5lbs 3 oz HEAVIER with an LPVO, and while I love having it on me, it sure was noticeably heavy.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    This is my take on an ultra ultralight AR, similar (but more metal) to one @Thegman has shown. Solo 300 upper M4E1 lower Aero steel LPK G2S trigger Faxon 16" pencil with tapped gas port/set screw and a thermal fit stainless sleeve overtop (.750" OD x .624" ID x 1" long) 10.25" KAW Valley...

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    How about a simple AR stock/buffer tube that is ultralight and doesn't cost as much as 5 lowers?

    VCRs (Very Compact Rifles)

    What's the minimum cartridge you're open to? Is a folding stock AR (even straight pull?) something you'd be open to?

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Not yet. Everything is done except the red dot isn't here. I have a spare scope/mount I was going to test fire with, but my sling setup won't clear it. That sounds weird, but I'll post pics when it's all together to show the path I took overall.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I drilled (stoped before going through to leave a solid stopping point) then tapped 4-40 into the port. Then put a stainless set screw in there that was sanded to be perfectly flush with the barrel OD. Then I had a 0.0015" undersized stainless sleeve made, and thermal fit it by heating the...

    What's the parts list @Taudisio?

    Kimber Mountain Ascent if you already have a super lite Tikka?

    I agree. Pricing out the lightweight AR parts made me realize I'd spend half or less than a Mountain Ascent, and I like the size/ergos/trigger of the AR better anyway.

    Kimber Mountain Ascent if you already have a super lite Tikka?

    It's nothing super unique. I ended up at the same place as other people have. Once I'm done I'll update in that thread.

    Kimber Mountain Ascent if you already have a super lite Tikka?

    I'm the OP. Don't stop posting because I'm still interested, but I did want to update. I'm doing an ultra ultralight straight pull AR instead. The money difference was huge and for the distances my typical shots are pretty short. I'm hoping to have a 4.5lb + ammo rifle/optics combo.

    Another question: what normal parts are you not using when you do a Solo 300? The bolt catch? The buffer retaining stuff? Anything else you skip or don't skip?

    Dedicated Big Woods Whitetail Setup

    I have a couple of 1-6 PSTs and I can see well into the "I might get arrested if I shoot one now" time. The LPVOs suck in the dark myth needs to die.
