Weight vs. Performance. Could I run an Arisaka M300 body and hyperthrow M300 head and shave 2oz off the front? I sure could. I'd lose my IR capability, though. Could I run an M300V instead of an M600V? Yup. Then I'd get more shadow on the barrel and FS, which is annoying especially under NODS. Could I run a Ti or CF mag tube? Yup. It would shave some ounces, but it would flex more under firing and accuracy and durability would technically be affected. Could I run a polymer trigger guard and save an oz over the milspec ones I prefer? Yes, but I prefer aluminum as that is what Aberdeen vetted the gun with. That said, I cannot tell you the polymer is worse and support my statement. Could I run a RMR or Holosun and not an Aimpoint Micro? I could, but then my light transmission under NODS would suffer. I've looked at all the things, and thus far, my weapon is as light as can be without making compromises I do not wish to make.

Finished installing the new full length mag. Special thanks to @SOCOMguy for providing the mag and @StrangerDanger for the detailed instructions on install.

Hi all, I wanted to share my custom bolt release for my SBE3. I went through a few design iterations in CAD and through 3D printing (FDM) with PLA. I tapped my original button and it is held in with Ti grade 5 screws and some loctite. I also painted with enamel paint I had laying around. Don't mind the crappy skin on the gun, this is my main shotgun and it gets used a lot for upland, waterfowl and clays. This is designed and machined by me out of 7075. I made several spares while I had it all set-up, if you want one, please reach out. Cheers,

My two cents on the weight: (1) keep it simple, (2) do more push-ups!!

They sold out in a few minutes.
