For the "right" gas,their are some severely skelonotized bolt carriers out there also.
Open up dat wallet. --- SAWMAN
Brownell’s sells a M-16 5.56 lightweight bolt carrier group that weighs in at 8.2 oz...save you almost 3 oz and cost right at a bit under 1 Benjamin...(about what a regular non sale bcg costs)

Thanks. I think the only other Avenue is a shorter pencil barrel and handguard, without getting into the big $$ parts.
FYI anderson sport upper weighs 6.59 oz.
I've got another ap custom carbon handguard. Think it's 9". My scale says 3.5oz with the hardware. It goes on a standard barrel nut. Let me know if you're interested.
Might be. I'd have to change the barrel nut. This one is the slotted one with the pass thru bolts. $$$? Does it have the rail on top or is it just round? Thanks
As long as you understand by changing buffer weights you could be messing with reliability.
Oops I think I read that wrong that your buffer was under 3oz. My bad
