4.8 lbs without optics. Nothing exotic except for the best plastic lower I've ever seen.
And yes, I know the carpet doesn't quite match the drapes. Ha. I put a half dozen rounds through it last week, adjusting the gas system. It shoots great.

What makes the plastic receiver the best you've seen?
I saw some place selling 80% .308 plastic lowers... the buffer tube area of the receiver is already the weakest part in plastic AR15 receivers (hence why that area tends to have lots of extra plastic or some bits of metal embedded to reinforce it)... I don't imagine the stress decreases with a larger caliber.
once its going, just bring ammo. Ha.
This thing really would be the ultimate home defense carbine. Short, with a hard hitting .30 round and weight with silencer of under 6 lbs.
