Has the AR-15 put on weight over the years?

Forend grips are unecessary. Suppressors are a huge benefit/force multiplier as is NV/NOD's which should be on your head not the rifle.. A bipod is removable and should be utilized on DMR rifles. There's no free lunch but a suppressor and NOD's(and or IR designator) are worth their weight.



I hear what you're saying, but the heavy barrel does little for accuracy. the rigidity of an HB can be achieved by using a shorter barrel as well. Of course you lose velocity which reduces effective range when you go that route. Don't forget the service ammo in use isn't match grade and I'm sure most situations didn't allow a lot of time for proper form either.

Anyone notice that CC's newest rifles the MRR series has neither the silly Simon sleeve nor heavy contour barrels... That would be a clue

Foregrip is necessary when you only have 7" of real estate to put all your gadgets on it.
