So, the SPR i built last year weighs about 11.4 lbs. I am very happy with the BA barrel and now they started making fluted barrels, and of course I would need a new muzzle brake and gas block. So what say the community, is shaving off 1.5 lbs worth tbe $500 for the new barrel+gas block+muzzle brake?

Unless you plan on running Special Ops in the Jungle or Mountains probably not.

Will it get you an extra 500 when you're done with it?  You're not marching through the sand box with it.

Nope, probably not. I didn't think it was worth it. Maybe if I ever start shooting 3 gun.

But this is good info for my wife’s build.. @Mrs.Zeke says everything is heavy .

for that... you get an intronet point

If you have $500 to burn, then it's worth it.  Things are only worth what you are willing to pay.  If you have the money, and it's what you want, then go for it.

For 3gun 10lbs is still on the heavy side.

I know, but that is with the weight with a 3-12 scope and ADM mount. For 3 gun that optic would be swapped out as well

Oh o.k [emoji106]

1.5 lbs can be worth $500. 

The difference between 11.5 pounds and 10 pounds is not. 

My $0.02.
