That is a nice build, Zed.
The charge handle is so much nicer than the stock units are.
As for weight, I was surprised as to how light my AR is. Compared to my T97, where I had to lose the optic and go back to iron sights because it was too heavy, the AR is a featherweight. That's not a light optic of mount you're using either.
+1, would shoot again.
