Daniel Defense BCG
RRA National Match trigger
Ares Effin A Comp
Magpul 10 rounder

6 pounds 11 ounces (pictured)... Not bad for an 18" AR.

Congrats on the weight, looks like a sexy supper model.

Digging the weight!

That is one pretty AR.

Nice rifle. What lightweight magnified optic/mount can go on that to keep the weight down and not compromise combat worthiness?

I once told a guy at work "check out my kids" showed him 2 Ar's, he got upset, I was proud. Looks great! My second son is a 16" Noveske Reece.

What? Nobody is making a 17" rail yet?

Was thinking a red dot...

I've been thinking about that stock. How's the balance on the rifle with it? front heavy at all? Where's the point of balance?

Tagged for inspiration in the future, great looking rifle.

Get a T1 in a Scalarworks mount.

Bottom rifle is 6lb 1.4oz with a standard BCG and H buffer. (with no mag)

That is a good looking rifle OP!

I LIKE IT!!

EDIT: I'm curious why you decided to go with midlength instead of rifle gas in a 18" barrel

Keep in mind the 15" KMR weights 5.9 ounces (another 2 ounces for the barrel but) and the stock is about the same. So the weight is all in the center and feels great. I will let you know later the exact pivot point.

The Minimalist is well built and for the weight Does NOT feel cheap. It has a heavy duty feel.

I'm in the process of changing out my 16" to a KMR and Minilaist stock. As of now my 16" with 13" Troy alpha and CTR stock feels heavier (and is).

I got the barrel in a trade, which inspired the rest. I have a 20" rifle length so I'm excited to shoot them both for a comparison.

Sweet looking AR!
