Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

^^ same, plus interested in the accuracy in general.

I finally made time to circle back to this project. I won’t say I’m happy with it until I shoot it (will report back how that goes) but it came together just under my target of being under 4lbs with a scope.

TN Arms polymer receiver
NFA polymer lower parts kit
Solo 300 upper
Custom barrel made from a Green Mountain
223 Wylde 1:7 blank
Jag 7.5” ultralight handguard
Hogue grip
Trigger tech black diamond 2.5lb
Used a set screw for the rear takedown pin spring
I think I got the skeletonized buffer tube from Palmetto.
Don’t recall where that little buttstock came from but this thread led me to it.
Aluminum 10rd mag

Sighting device options:
SWFA 2.5-10x32 in an Aeromount
Aimpoint micro H2 2moa ina Larue QD

Unloaded weights:
rifle alone 3lb 2.6oz
W/aimpoint 3lb 9oz
w/swiffer 3lb 15oz

I have the parts here to go a tad lighter but they required compromises I wasn’t willing to make. It will be an evolving project and I now have a couple boxes full of parts for future tweaking.

Man, that is eerily similar to my current build, except for the stock. I went A2 buffer and farrow tech stock. Awesome setup!
