How much do the Troy TRX Forearms weigh?
« on: December 31, 2010, 12:36:50 PM »
They claim to be lightweight but they don't list there weights. I'm looking at there 9" and there 7.2" and there 7.6" ones. BTW: Whey would someone desire one over the other on the 7.2" vs. the 7.6"? Sorry for the ignorance I was just wondering what the rationale would be. It has to be something or they wouldn't offer it.

Thanks.

I'll let you know when my 7.2" arrives tomorrow.  The reason the 7.2" is needed is because the 7.6" will not fit behind a standard front sight on an M4.  The 7.6" will fit either a low-profile or flip-up sight gas block.  The 9" and longer will cover the gas block.  I want to keep my front sight so I ordered the 7.2".

Well, I got it in, but didn't have access to a scale at the time and went ahead and installed it.  I would say, though that it weighs no more than the original double heat shield hand guards that it replaced, maybe a bit less.  With rails attached that adds a little, but it's still pretty light.  A lot lighter that the 4 rail handguards.  Here's what it looks like on the rifle:
