    at 8.65 lbs I wonder how much does a comparable AR10 weighs?
    Most likely less. I have to weigh my GAP10 to see. But it's a common misconception that titanium is lighter than aluminum, it's not. I was shocked the first time I held up a full titanium can and then picked up a similar aluminum one, its a noticeable difference. But titanium is much stronger than aluminum.

    True, but titanium is lighter than steel, and the barrel is titanium. AR10s weigh around 9 pounds with plastic handguards.

    It states the barrel is 416 Stainless Steel. The bolt carrier and gas block are Ti, which I can see saving a few ounces.
