Yikes! We sent a GUNNER and a Pencil and would be happy to get that exchanged, on us.

Please have your brother contact us and we will get him sqaured away.

Thanks Nathan!

Yea it sent in the RMA form to you already and still waiting for the prepaid shipping label you told me about over the phone

Very nice barrels though!

Golden Gun, what trigger group are you running? I didn't see it listed. Great build!

It's the radical firearms enhanced LPK from primary arms

Very cool thread and contributions guys.

Thanks.. Titanium castle nut, end cap, and grip screw are on the way... That should reduce the weight by .7-.8 of an ounce...

Then titanium barrel nut will come eventually and tip the entire gun another .7 of an ounce in which I should be roughly 79.5 ounces with a sight!!

That's impressive. I would love to have something that light for all day classes. But with all the cutouts in the upper receiver, I would personally remove the dust cover.

[GOLDEN GUN]

There is no dust cover, no forward assist either, just a small brass deflector

My mistake. From my phone, I thought I saw a dust cover.

To speaking on the thought of an ultra lightweight buffer, has anybody taken the weights completely out of the buffer and fired it? Have you been successful with an ultra lightweight carbine buffer? I have a an adjustable gas block and somebody in this thread mentioned shooting the buffer any weights. without weights. My question to you altra light weight gurus is do you get any kind of bolt bounce or experience any other issues with such a light weight buffer like the tac con, or a car being buffer without the weights

[GOLDEN GUN]

No experience yet but tax on o think advertises that it reduces bolt bounce

Not to mention, with an adjustable gas block, there should be little to no bolt bounce at all since you should only have the minimal amount of gas to lock the bolt back and not go any further

New pics up

Very very nice! My F1 build is coming along very slowly. Can't decide on a barrel.
