I've been shooting a armalite ar-10T cut from 24" to 18" for awhile and it is still, at least for this skinny ole man very heavy. Dropped into my new local gun store and they had a cmmg .308 16" sst light barrel. WOW...it seemed so nice and light. well I kicked around picking it up for a few days and went back to get it. Of course it was already gone. Long story short I sold my ar-10 to a buddy and ordered the cmmg which should be here this weekend. It supposedly comes with a 1 moa guarantee and is patterned after the DPMS,sr-25 mags. Just curious if anyone here has one and might have any feedback?

The CMMG 7.62 I shot was nice, shot like my Noveske N6, and you can use cheap plastic mags.
I'm agree about the weight issues. My 21" is heavy and I have looked at the CMMG 16" for a light weight 7.62 AR. I just don't want to have two different mag patterns.
If you put a ArmaLite 16" Infantry Profile barrel on your rifle it should be the same or lighter weight as the CMMG.

My CMMG upper is .223, not .308. But, the 20" lightweight barrel is easily one MOA with an old K4 on top. They do good work.

Art, CMMG has had a .308 AR, SR-25 pattern on the market for 5-6 months now.
Check this 2012 catalog, about halfway down.

When I was researching ARs in 308 I found some info stating that the CMMG lower had some dimensional compatibility issues w/ the other SR25/LR308 rifle brands.
I'll see if I can find it and will post it here.
I ended up going with a Bushmaster LR308 MOE mid length carbine and the SIG 716 carbine.
The SIG is amazing... very well thought through and excellent fit and finish - however I believe it's a hodge podge of LR308 and Armalite AR10 parts.

mcb, that looks good. However, I'm fairly well set up for social work. 
Stick the Colt upper with irons back on it, and if I need more punch, use my Garand.
I put the CMMG upper on for visitations and discussions with Wily Coyote.
