I still have to finish one. I have Solo 300 uppers, a 300 hamm'r pencil barrel, Lightweight grip, titanium small parts, no gas tube, light handguard (may end up a carbon fiber tube). Not spring and buffer tube, a carbon fiber 9* elbow and tube for a rear stock, cut for short LOP. No sprong, tube, and buffer cuts a bit. I may cut off the shell deflector. and make it look finished. A little weight cut all the way around. The goal is as light as possible and a magazine fed bolt. Cutting the gasser necessities cuts a lot. Probably will use a light scope, Leupold 2.5X, and QD rings, not a QD one piece mount. Will see what I can do. If I use a one piece QD mound will see where I can mill out some excess. If that doesn't get me around three with scope, sling, and empty 10 round magazine I will be surprised. Oh, The sling will be made from a really light webbing. Be Well Brothers, The Bearded Gnome.
