I built an ultra light AR due to the fact that I do spend a substantial amount of time in the mountains and high deserts of the Rocky Mountain West, quite often tromping through deep snow and I needed a general purpose LW AR. This is what years of use and experimentation evolved into:
It is simple, light and packs great.

Mackay,
Could you please give us all the details on this fine looking AR? Have not been an AR guy but this one might just change that.
thanks.

No problem. This is going off of memory, which is a bit fuzzy....
Anvil Arms reciever
Colt bolt
White Oak precision 7 twist barrel turned down to an old Colt A1 "pencil" ish profile
Brownells lightweight gas manifold (this is a midlength gas system)
Clark Custom carbon fiber fore end tube
A2 flash hider (it was lighter than most custom ones)
RRA two stage trigger group.
Colt Defense lower parts.
Stock is an ACE fixed stock. Very light weight.
Upper (if I recall right) was a Bravo Company.
Optic is an 4x ACOG with standard ranging reticle.
I like the older style crosshairs for precision shooting at distance over the horse shoes or other reticles.
The whole goal was light and practical for hunting and field use where lots of ground would get covered. It is a favorite.
A number of friends who handle it seem to not want to give it back. I have to keep an eye on it.
