Tactical Solutions Vid

While the whole vid is interesting, they display some of the complete weapons beginning at the 28.20 minute mark.  Some fantastic looking, and light, .22s both handguns and long guns.  Love that first Ruger they show and the surpressed SBR four inch barreled rifle

I should add that I love the lightweight guns, but they do have their drawbacks.  I have an AR 7 with an aluminum/steel barrel and spent maybe a half hour about a couple months ago filing and sanding the crown after having dropped, and damaged, it.  Aluminum is just softer than steel, no way to get around that.

Wow it's long. Ill have to watch it at work. Speaking of light I just handled one of those X-Ring 10/22's in the store. It doesnt weigh anything.

Yup, quite long; that's why I gave the 28 minute mark to skip ahead to.

What I really found to be most interesting in the first 28 minutes was when they were talking about dedicated uppers.  The Tactical Solutions gentleman pointed out that one doesn't have to worry about lead ouling one's .5.56, in the throat and gas system, with a dedicated upper.  Since I favor the conversion, for several reasons, I found that info of use and I reckon I'll be paying special attention to those areas now.

As to the weight issue, it's clear cut.  There is no comparison to walking up a mountain with a lightweight, as opposed to a normal weight rifle.  It's just not a contest.
