Does anyone know the weight difference between the basic and enhanced hand
guard?

couple oz's difference.... not a big deal IMO...

I have both but no scale - hardly notice a difference between the 2

The Railed Forend is actually not that heavy, if you're looking to shed a little weight the barrel is a much bigger culprit.

My wife wants an ACR now and her only complaint is the weight. I plan on having the barrel put on a diet and cut down to 14.5 with a p/a flash hider/suppressor mount. All the ounces will count for her.

ETA: Mine will most likely end up at 11 lbs or so.

I think mine is 10 fully loaded with a full mag, suppressor, optic, and light

That's awesome that you and your wife both have that interest in firearms. ADCO does barrel cutting,profiling, etc. You should look into their work for your ACR Diet plan.

I'm at about 10.5 empty, those Acog/Docters optics add weight but I think it's worth it.

any one have a good review of it yet? any breaks?

 

[bigdog2003_99]

btw the enhanced rail weighs 10.75 oz
the basic is about 8.75 oz with 1 5 section moe rail-so about 8 oz

thanks for the weight. I know it has been mentioned in another thread.

I weighed both of mine awhile back and the difference was negligible. An ounce or two like bigdog said.

i updated the post for ya

I checked mine with a food scale (on a diet) the difference was the basic with one rail on the bottom was 0.2 ounces lighter. I think with a second for the light difference would be very close if not same.

On the other side, I do prefer the Basic over the Enhanced for comfort, but I only have 40 rds through it. ACOG and offset iron sights by the end of next week. Then just a surefire scout, Laser, and night vision..... Oh, if I had money!

i made a thread with all of the weights

http://www.acrforum.com/forum/showthread.php/1861-Remington-ACR-Rail-vrs-Enhanced-and-Basic

on an acr with a longer barrel i'd go-basic, remington, enhanced. on a sbr i'd go remington, then enhanced or basic/enhanced (depending on how short, basic goes to 11.5iirc)

if the extended v2 was out it would be the first rail i'd get on any setup
