The Ruger SFAR is so light it's ridiculous
In this episode of TFBTV, Hop takes a look at one of the lightest, most compact .308 ARs on the market: the Ruger SFAR. The SFAR or Small Frame Autoloading Rifle isn’t an AR-10 or LR-308 pattern rifle, but rather an AR-15 size rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. The 16″ barrel version of the SFAR reviewed for this video weighs in at under 7 lbs out of the box. Like most Rugers, it’s also very affordable, already available for well under the $1229 MSRP.
Unfortunately, this example of the SFAR was s’far from perfect, as you’ll see…

Having built an AR 10 weighing almost ten pounds without the scope, the thought of a light weight rifle such as this is definitely appealing. With a medium contour barrel, a standard gas block (suppressors being banned in California), and a five or ten round mag would make this an appealing hunting rifle. Being in California, however, I'd have to start with just the receiver set to avoid building a dreaded "assault rifle," as that stock is a definite no-no.
That yelp of pain from Hop when that hot gas out of the gas block hit his hand is the same yelp of pain I suspect he has on those rare occasions when he accidentally smiles.
