Lightweight AR Build
The original specs were that it weigh under 5 pounds, including optic, and that the total cost of the build not exceed $2,000 (MSRP). It came in at 4 pounds, 13 ounces and a total cost just over $1,800 - and that included some exotic materials like titanium lower parts and a magnesium (!) handguard. Go take a read - it turned out pretty flippin' sweet if I do say so myself...
The one drawback, though, is that now *every* other AR I own feels like an anchor...
That is all.

Gee. If you were still back in Massachusetts, you could have spent that kind of money plus a few hundred more for the privilege of purchasing a twenty five year old used fixed stock pre-ban AR-15.
Ed,
Funny story. When putting together this build, I had the choice of a muzzle brake or the flash hider that wound up on the barrel.
I went with the flash hider, because *that* made it *NOT* MA compliant.
