Adding more weight to the front of an already front heavy rifle doesn't make sense to me.

This would make me buy one of these rifles.

cool, this added length will allow me to add a few more flashlights, lazers and red dot sights...as well as a couple magpul handles. Very nice gun.

You can order an upper from Wolverine, However be warned its pricey. I was going to order a second upper that was keymod and with a light barrel.

The KeyMod upper and light barrel has addressed the complaint of the XCR been front end heavy.

Wolverine mentioned Robinson Armament was looking into a folding charging handle. Just thought I would mention that.

Yup, this configuration with irons is really nice. Adding choice of scope adds to the weight, but the balance still remains great.

The older models or heavy barrels yeah, the new keymod with lighter weight barrels no, balance is good.

Regular keymod is plenty long enough for my arms, I also use a scope so the distance between the Troys isn't a huge concern for me. But it's always nice to see new options coming through. I love the platform.

That's awesome, I've been thinking about coming up with something to extend the forearm length of my LW keymod. How much would a stripped upper be?

Its the sling, the heavy barreled quad rail with irons and a decent scope is 10+ lbs.

Hitting the gym isn't the answer ugly and heavy is ugly and heavy no matter how big you are!!!
and if you think weight isn't a concern why would they come up with a whole new line with a pencil barrel and a shaved front end as a new product line??
