[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 970882, member: 6064"] I believe you have me a a disadvantage sir. ( said in a Southern Colonel. voice) I admit I am a bit slow today sooo 8.2# what? If you mean J.P. barrels...yes they are consumable, If you mean the aluminum carrier...consumable...The SS lightened ones haven't had that problem yet and that is why John only offers the SS lightened on the general market these days. The Aluminum ones can still be got, you just got to know a guy! As an aside the U.S. Army A.M.U. had one J.P. barrel go 25,000 rounds and still be 1 M.O.A.. It had a stress crack from the chamber to the gas port, and no rifling in the first 5 " of barrel, but this is an anomaly. not the norm! If we are talking about rifle weight, my J.P. match rifle weighs just 7.9 pounds with sling ready to shoot, and no it doesn't have an optic on it. [/QUOTE]
