    Very nice.

    Is this setup any lighter though with the SOPMOD and the 14.0 rail at 17.4 oz?

    It may be one of those weight/balance things. I don't know how much the other rifle weighed, but I can tell you having that huge-assed Surefire out on the end of it with no weight in the rear was not fun/comfortable to shoot. This rifle balances right where the magwell meets the trigger guard. It's certainly not a heavy rifle, even with the ACOG on it.

    Agreed....balance > weight. The SOPMOD definitely fits perfectly with the front end of your rifle. I've tried a lot of various buttstocks and the SOPMOD is one of the most comfy and balanced.

    Man, that surefire is huge! What year is that from and how heavy is that pig?! haha You could literally just scare someone off with it!

    Great job, my favorite aspects are the rail and the kac micros....those really were excellent decisions.

    That looks great... I am a little upset cause the last time I was on their site I couldn't find the build your own upper option.

    SG Custom build is on hold as Tommy fills the total of 600 orders he received. Per Tommy on TOS it will be back with better enhancements to the overall process.

    OP, nice build. Any idea how much it weights?

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone! No idea yet on weight, but I hope to weigh it on a digital scale tomorrow (if I can get to the shop early enough). I tried compiling weights, but that was a loosing proposition as I found much conflicting data. I can tell you that it feels/swings lighter than the Noveske Low Pro/Switchblock that we have on our shelf.
