Just curious what the weight of a stripped down no accessories, no optic, SCAR 17s is with an aftermarket aluminum lower and no magazine. To plan for accessories and the weight associated with them.

Thanks,

I'm looking for a gross weight after adding the aftermarket lowers and hinges so as not to compare the rifle it to itself but to other weapon systems. Basically, once you add the features necessary to bring the rifle up to snuff in terms of durability to actually be called a battle rifle- how much does it weigh?

So far the aluminum lowers add 4-6 oz and likely the hinge adds at least 1-2 oz, taking the average- about 6.5 oz which puts it at 8 lbs 6.5 oz. That basically makes it as heavy as most AR based platforms.

You made the bogus statement before Stryker responded. You poked him, he poked back. I intervened to stop the poking back and forth.

And I stated that "You got a beef with Stryker or not, I do not care". So I really do not care whether you do or not.

Now in your own words, "I couldnt give 2 **** or a squirt of piss" why Mike S wants to prolong this discussion that will get him nowhere. I encourage you to drop this. Fair enough? You leave it alone and so will I.

Happy New Years!
