Falkor LWS chassis -

Why is nobody building off of this?

26oz
Compatible with standard AR pistol grips
Comparable with buffer style stocks similar to XLR
Half the price of the element
Different color schemes
Low profile

Seems like a great option for a minimalist build!

Don't know. Probably for the same unknown reason these didn't make it:

Falkor is a lot heavier and only a little cheaper than the element. Don't inlet for Tikka either

I believe the element is actually heavier? Could be missing something but I believe they come in around 30-32oz

Not the magnesium version, it is lighter.

element magnesium is 15-19 oz depending on inlet. reg element is 22-26 depending on inlet but 200$ cheaper. if you want lightweight inexpensive look at ultradyne. I just built one

ahhh, I mistook falkors description as 26oz including buffer/stock assembly, understood now!

element magnesium is 15-19 oz

That’s without a buttstock and grip. Not terribly useful in that configuration

Says 28oz with carbon grip and stock
