[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1199234, member: 54383"] Ya so far I keep finding ways to shave weight. Gonna keep looking over build part by part to see where I can save some weight. So far it's been really fun but I think most weight will be In The barrel so I gotta really do some research. I d hate to get a light weight fluted barrel only to find out a carbon would be lighter. In theory they should. As you could take the thinnest barrel and make it even thinner. Then replace that material with carbon fiber. Thus reducing weight but having the same contour or even step up the overall contour but inner would be thin. I'm gonna call proof this week and see if I can come up with something. I've seen where people shorten shank and remove any weight they can. Gonna make as many calls as possible to different barrels manufactures as I can to talk this week. [/QUOTE]
