Your AR weight

[JeffsSig]

What is your AR weighing in at?

I just weighed mine and it was 10.7 pounds

Time to hit the gym.

[Desert Rat]

The wife's 556 Swat weighed in at 11 even.

And my SASS weighs in at 14. That is the closest I have to an AR that is currently dressed out.

and i always got the weight argument when i talked about my 12lb M14.

i havent put mine on the scale but id bet in the 8-9lb range. it is a basic 14.5" carbine with a reddot.

BCM Middy, Aimpoint M2, YHM rear, Magpul MS1 sling, ASAP plate, MOE stock and grip.

TacSol .22, YHM Diamond FFR, Vtac sling, GG&G bipod adapter, Bushy CH

Both around 8 lbs unloaded.

M4-gery - 5.9lbs

M16A2 clone - 8lbs

For comparison: FN-FAL Para model 18" barrel - 8.1lbs. Portuguese model AR10 - 8.2lbs. Get real guys! Why have a 5.56mm rifle that weighs MORE than a comparable .308 rifle??

I couldn't agree more. Most ar's are so "tactical" they lose the ar's biggest advantage

New Panther AP4- 7.5 pounds with empty clip.

I have not put mine on the scale, but I am going to guess about 14 lbs. Needless to say, when you put a 20 in ss bull barrel on one, the whole weight issue is shot. My next AR will be more of a light weight carbine.

[R1100R]

My .308 AP4 is at 8 amd 1/2 pounds empty.

[Smith]

POF 16" upper DS lower .... 7.8 lbs empty and no optic.

When I am done with my AR-15 National Match Service Rifle, it will be somewhere around 14 to 16 lbs.

[JeffsSig]

My AR57 comes in at 7.4 pounds

[Smith]

Just weighed my POF with scope and loaded PMag = 9.4 lbs. Not too bad in my opinion considering it has full free float quad rails. That would be 8.2 lbs empty.

RRA = 9lbs (my VFG was missing for the pic).

Hey, TN-popo. I'm not sure i understand how those BUIS work. Why not move the AP up a bit and lower 1/3 co-witness?

LOL. I got the concept from Dave Lauck...

...my sight picture looks similar to the 3rd pic. I do have 1/3 co-witness and the Aimpoint is slightly back for even less "tube" effect.

Unconventional and not often seen, but extremely fast.

7 pounds 5 oz, with an empty 30rd steel mag.

[mikegideon]

"Sweetness" only weighs about a half pound right now. She's going to put on a lot of weight over the next couple of days, and should be breathing fire on Friday.

[LA_357SIG]

All loaded 30 round of M855 in a Brownell's G.I. magazine

My son's AR. Recountoured RRA midlength stainless barrel. 8lbs 06oz. (The sling was bundled on top of the scale when weighed and moved for the pic.)

My Bushmaster gov't profile rifle. 8lbs 15oz .

...and just for kicks, my Osprey Defense piston AR (chambered in 7.62x39mm) w/ 5.56 loaded mag. 8lbs 1oz.

[Guest 73challenger]

I haven't weighed mine but it's to heavy. That's one reason I am looking into building a SBR.

[Troutburger]

Spike's build weighs in at just shy of 8lbs unloaded. 14.5" barrel, free float hand guards, and Leupold AR scope.

[mikegideon]

6lbs 14.8oz with no mag

Eotech with full cowitness makes my head hurt. Lower 1/3 isn't much better. That's why I swapped the gas block on my Eotech rifle.
