I decided to build a 2nd AR with a shorter barrel and aim to be as light as possible w/o going for an SBR (can’t own one in CA). This will be the rifle I’ll take to carbine classes.
I finally found a Geissele MK4 handguard which should arrive next week then assemble it
Geissele MK4 arrived so next post will be the rifle assembled. My 13.5" NSR is roughly 2oz lighter than the Mk4 but the MK4 rail is very nice nonetheless.
Nice build plus clean and clear photos = Great post. I really like the parts you put into this, that’s a sweet rifle. Get that thing outta cali and have some fun with it.
That’s pretty darn light. My BCM has a similar configuration 14.5" lightweight barrel, CTR, except Centurion C4 rails and EOTech XPS. It comes in at over 7 lbs.
Great carbine you have there advan! As a fellow member from CA, I was wondering your plan/method for (I’m assuming this is a bullet buttoned) mag changes during a carbine course. UBBT? Stub on gloves? Or just out of state?
And what light and sling do you have planned for that beauty?
