I've been asked about weight more than once...
The basic kit weighs just over 6 pounds... that's before you install a barreled action and minimal accessories.
A complete Scout barreled action weighs just under 6 pounds... a naked Rogue will weigh 12 pounds and it only gets heavier.
If you are considering buying a Rogue there are a few things you should know about it.
1. It's heavy... it's heavier than any of my SAGE EBRs and TROY MCS that I've owned.
2. The Rogue trigger uses a steel rod to reach back to the rifles trigger, you feel the added linkage and the rod rattles.
3. Mag changes require a 'reach around' technique that is cumbersome and slow.
4. Optics require additional height... I used a riser and a set of tall rings to get proper scope alignment.
5. Unlike the SAGE EBR, the Rogue chassis is not designed to enhance your rifles accuracy.
6. The Rogue conversion kit is expensive, expect to spend around $1k to get a basic kit.
Bottom line:
The Rogue is probably the best conversion kit currently available, but it could be better... it could be a lot lighter.
You can see what I did @ H2O's Rogue Modifications & Upgrades and on my facebook page @ H2O's Rogue M14
The initial ‘grin factor’ when you first start using the JTac Rogue is HUGE and it can last a month or more, but it does
fade away and then you are forced to accept the reality that you are stuck with a fat bottomed girl that rides a Moped.
