LOL! Thanks!

I have to wonder how much the author of that article knows about AR15s if he says "A good way to shave off ounces from your AR build is to use a lightweight lower and a lightweight bolt carrier group."

I don't believe that either one (or even both combined) factor into shaving weight nearly as much as the barrel does.

Anyway, I'm happy I did it, and I'm happy I was able to create a suitably light carbine without spending absurd amounts of money just to shave an ounce off.

Thanks for the link. I'm sure it will help others who happen across it while reading this thread.
