Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think ALG is a little deceiving in their advertising, As I recall the weights they list are a little on the light side. Yes they are lighter than most other rail systems, but as I recall the listed weight was not including the ALG barrel nut (at least not on the V-1 MLok I put on Dubi's) .
So ALG is a very lightweight rail at a great pricepoint, but it also includes a QD sling socket or two.
I would use their stuff again for sure.
Also free shipping if you order from ALG directly, sometimes they run a 20%off sale too.
Well, you're wrong about them being deceiving, but I was also wrong about the weight.
The 9.3 I listed for the V2 I have does not include the barrel nut. If you look at ALGs website, like Faxon they list mounting hardware as a separate weight below. I missed that detail the first time around and I apologize to the other poster for missing it. I guess that's just the industry standard as both ALG and Faxon are doing it.
The rail itself was exactly 9.3, as promised on the website. The barrel nut was only 2.1 oz instead of the 2.42 listed on ALGs website, but when you add the screws used to attach the rail to the nut it gets it to 2.4 oz.
