OK, I am ordering all the parts I can to build the full on ULUL. I have shot my stripped down gasser, but now I want to get the real thing done.
I am trying to compile the list of options from builds, and the sources for barrel/forend nuts, tubing, etc, but I only got through the first 23 pages of all 148 before giving up, lol.
If you all can help me, reply to this thread with a link to a post in this thread, or whatever information.
I'll keep updating this post, and then create a list and we can add it to a file to attach to the first post or something.
Here is a
list of AR 15 part weights from Reddit that
@ericmcd found.
This is from the first build by
@Thegman
- New Frontier Armory lower and parts kit (not the most durable, but it works for now)
- Faxon .223 pencil weight 16" barrel
- Fostech FLITE Elite Upper
- Smoke Composites handguard and stock (used fletching tape to add two Hypalon strips for grip against shoulder)
- Brownells lightweight BCG
- Taccom ULW buffer
- Sokek Solutions Arca rail
First
@StupidLightweight build
- --16" BSF barrel without gas port
- --Slick side aluminum upper
- --Wiland USA PCC handguard
- --Kaiser-US polymer lower
- --Folding AGP Arms stock
- --Aero mount w/ Weaver 4x28 Classic
- --TriggerTech trigger
- --Nottingham Tactical ti charging handle
Second StupidLW build
- NFA polymer lower and lower parts kit
- Blackthorne polymer upper that I whittled on for side charge
- Shaw barrel turned into spaghetti strand (16.3 oz.)
- DSA aluminum carrier with Nottingham Tactical Ti charging knob
- DIY carbon fiber and aluminum handguard
- A1 buffer tube Swiss-cheesed and capped with polymer sling loop
- Hogue 15-degree polymer grip with V7 titanium grip screw
- Crimson Trace CT-1400 optic
- Paracord sling wrap
Jan 2024 build by
@packgoatguy
- Solo300 upper
- Faxon 223wylde pencil barrel
- Tennessee arms carbon stripped lower
- NfA lpk
- V7 ti grip screw
- Hogue 15 degree grip (then skeletonize to take off a half ounce)
- JAG composites barrel nut
- Farrowtech buttstock
- JA machine straight aluminum buffertube (will be lighter and way cheaper than a smoke composites, especially if you add some holes to skeletonize it a bit)
- BTFA folder adapter if you need a folder (of skip the above and use the IMI kidon, and add some foam for a more comfortable butt stock and more LOP)
- For a handguard, find a piece of aluminum or carbon fiber tube that has an inside diameter that closely matches the outer diameter of the barrel nut...
This is what I have so far for the additional list:
- TN Arms Carbon fiber lower
- Solo 300
- Bear Creek Arsenal pencil barrel and side charging upper
- Bear Creek Bolt Action
- KP15 polymer lower/stock combo
- Carbon 10 lower
- DSA aluminum BCG
- Wilson UL barrel
- Wiland 15” handguard
- folding stock
- Jag Composites ultralight hand guard
- DIY handguard, but need purchase details from @left hunter and @StupidLightweight
- New Frontier polymer lower and lower parts kit
- Light stock folding mechanism, Btfa from sb tactical.
- link to packgoatguy recipe for lightweight folding stock
- Kidon folding stock, screws into buffer tube.
- List of durable lightweight scopes.
- Notingham Tactical titanium bolt handle
- DIY stock option from @doverpack12, cut an A2 for the ends and put a carbon tube between them for length, weight, and non metal on your cheek, can use the A2 threaded end for a buttpad
That's not my build though. Not sure who's it is.
