Honestly I didn’t build this one haha, this is one I bought from a CGN’er while I wait for my email to show up! I changed a few things here and there but nothing major. My hand guard I bough for another build wouldn’t over the gas block so I stayed with the original, otherwise it would’ve shaved off another few ounces. For the BCG I assume the original owner knew about the lightweight ones not working well with ejection port covers as he had another one as well. But I can’t say for sure. Once I get my two other MS’s built I’ll post them as well along with compatibility issues if I have any.

If you got the money you can use the Faxon CF handguard. I actually went with the Midwest SP handguard, no regrets, fat as it may be lol
If it wasn't for the proprietary attachment system (i.e. if it was M-Lok or Keymod) I'd have gotten that myself, loved them on all the ARs I ran them on.
Very light weighted, I have not try it yet, but the image is brighter than trijicon accupower 1-8

I've had a Kahles 1-6 since 2015. At the time they were the best 1-6 optic available. I'd still say they are the best. But the new Eotech 1-6 is 90% as good at 65% the price. I have several PA 1-6, 2 older SFP & 1 newer FFP, for the price they can't be beat. The PA 1-8 is also a awesome made in Japan scope, but it is HEAVY.
I see you are in Edm. You are welcome to come check out the scopes at anytime, we can meet at the range if you'd like. CSC usually has the whole Kahles lineup available for veiwing in their showroom, if you want to see one in person.

How does the Razor 1-6 compare?

I remember comparing them at the time. I don't remember if it was the current Razor Gen II or if it was the Gen I, it was 2015. And the Razor was significantly heavier, I didn't like the reticle as much and the glass wasn't as good as the Kahles. But at the price range you are really splitting hairs on the quality of the glass.
Garand Thumb has a good (recent) review of the Kahles 1-6 & Primary Arms.

Vortex has also come out with the Razor HD Gen II-E in the 1-6, which is significantly lighter. Still not a light optic, but still 6 or 8 oz lighter i think.
