When shopping for a lightweight barrel and parts, both barrel and hand guard came to BCM, I decided to treat myself to a complete upper, a set of Daniel defense gi style a1 sights, and some noveske grip panels.
I could not find a total weight anywhere so that's the purpose of this thread.
Fit and Finnish are excellent, much better than any two uppers I have slapped together. The upper needed a good tap to lock into my rock river lower, but the holes were aligned perfect and now they separate easily.
With the a1 fixed sights with no magazine, no light ,and no red dot,my total weight unloaded is just over 5 pounds. This tapered 14.5 barrel is a lighter build than my 8.5inch pistol with a quad rail attached thanks to the aluminum / magnesium BCM handguard. I may invest in a magnesium lower to shed some more.

I am running a Vltor gunfighter BCM mod 4 Charge handle and a fail zero bolt and bc.
I am very excited to get to the range and report back on this gun. It has the Giselle super dynamic three gun trigger, and b5 sopmod stock.
Both this and the scar in my other thread are chrome lined!
Look at the taper I made sure these pics are taken from same distanced and cropped with a grid. It's heavy profile an inch or so then medium on down to ultra light profile. I read fn machine guns are like this but I don't really know. Benefits are rigidity:weight improvement as well as better barrel harmonics.
Here it reads a bit under 7 lbs with sure fire 600 lumen light , fixed a1 sights and a 1/3 cowitnness m68 cco
