Brownells USA As advertised 18/07/2018

For whom it may concern, I just got this in the mail today and weighed it on 2 different scales at 8.2 ozs.



I am still working on my parts list for a lightweight build, so I cannot comment on it's reliability. However, It appears well made, and the weight is spot on.

Definitely recommended

Brownells USA Awesome so far 30/06/2018
