I'm wanting to build a super low weight AR15 and have seen several threads on forums about the obvious drawback being things working their way inside etc.
Has anyone here had any problems besides that with a skeletonized upper / lower?
I might just do the lower and skip the upper(s).
Part of the plan is to use this lower with a Tromix 458 socom upper as well and I got really excited when I saw the option of a skeletonized 458 upper offered from them. But it said the heavy duty version was the recommended version.
I'd imagine the smart move on 458 would be to just go normal route and save weight elsewhere.
And how about carbon fiber handguards? Anyone crunch one up tightening something too hard in an Mlok or on a pic rail like Smoke Composites can come with?
I'm going to order 1 from Smoke Composites as soon as I hear back about whichever barrel comes back in stock first I'm waiting on so I know which length to go for.
