I am wondering about that one and the DD I just purchased from them, I think the DD still has a complete front sight post, while this one doesnt. Not an incredibly difficult fix, but still


Now I am looking at the specs and I think I did well. That barrel is twice as thick as standard mil-spec, so its likely much heavier, and the Yankee Hill handguards are a whopping 21.44 oz. The Fortis rail I am putting on the DD is 9 oz, while the DD Lite rail it comes with is 11oz.
Add all that and that its a rifle length gas system, I think I am better off with the DD.

You carrying it anywhere? Why the worry about weight? I carried my bolt gun which is a beast hunting. It wasnt as bad as most make it out to be.
