Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

[Bearded Gnome]

Before this I had good luck with them. They made an error and fixed it in spades. Be well Brothers, The Bearded Gnome.

They had text me before. I found the messages and reached out on your guy’s behalf. I know they were active on the Facebook. I don’t have one, so I don’t know their page.

I tried calling again and just sent a text so hopefully I get some response.

When will we have a dedicated UL gasser thread. That's what I want now. This rifle has been fun but time to move on!

We need a thread for sure.

We need a thread for sure.

It's pretty easy to use the info in this thread and transfer it to a gasser with a few minor changes.

I rarely shoot this, but the bare rifle is 3# 10oz and I built it before I built an UL-UL. It has killed a big black bear and a few deer. Has a Faxon pencil barrel. Could easily get into UL-UL range with developments from this thread (BCA pencil barrel and Farrowtech stock with A2 tube, or Smoke Composites stock, should take it down to about 3# 5oz or so). Get on it boys!



Uses a DSA aluminum bolt carrier and Strike industries charging handle.

What buffer setup?

What buffer setup?

Standard buffer with weights removed. 1 oz, same weight as Taccom poly buffer.

I wondered how to do that with a 300 Ham'r pencil barrel from Wilson Combat, TA lower, Lightweight handguard and grip, some Ti parts including BCG. Then lightweight in the butt stock. Is a buffer spring lighter with flat wire or round? Just silly questions that come up as I haven't assembled very many ARs and I really don't know much about them. I still go through a tutorial so I won't miss anything, hopefully. Be well Brothers, Bearded Gnome.

Crickets over here. I would try Facebook if you have it and really need to reach them.

I'm new to AR's with this project, so I don't have all the answers. But, aluminum bcg is lighter than Ti, and barrels are interchangeable/don't matter other than port or no port AFAIK

Edit: and aluminum is massively less expensive

 

[Bearded Gnome]

If you can find a USED Ti BCG it can help on the cost. I did. I looks hardly used. Be well Brothers, BG.

My Shaw barrel was shooting 2moa to 3moa groups today. Nothing seems to help. Any thoughts? I trust the scope. I checked the mounts. Its a lighter rifle but I did better with a 308 with a less comfortable strand worse trigger. I'm not sure it's just the lightness
