Retro Fulton/Anderson 604/SP1 clone Range Report - WOW!

Unfortunately, the world is full of Armchair Commando Mall Ninja "Operators" who murder the AR15 PLATFORM....If they had ever huped a weapon for a living, they would never put all the cr*p on their ARs that they do. While these pictures are exagerated, I shot with a guy in Mississippi who's M4gery weighted over 9 pounds!

I honestly skimmed over the the important word "with" the first time I read your post and thought you were awfully passionate about lightweight carbines, it was clear on the second read though.

It isn't hard to stack one of these guns up to "pig" weight class with the amount of junk on the market and the ready availability of picatinny rail on every flat surface.

A proper optic is the limit to my interest in clamping stuff on my rifle.

Haha! I would have to be pretty passionate to shoot someone for murdering the AR15 platform! LOL!

Personally, if I had to carry a weapon that heavy (9+ pounds), it would be my HK G3 clone (US made PTR91) with a 3x9 Redfield Revenge scope with BDC. That setup tips the scale at 9 pounds, IIRC, but will do 600-800 meters

I agree with the optic. On the flat top M4gery I am going to replace with the 653, I have a Bushnell TRS-32 red dot. The whole weapon still goes at about 6.7 pounds.

I only made it to quad rail optic and light before I saw the light.
Optic only now much happier and saved $ for other projects.
