A: Not quite finished yet but almost. So far with only a short barrel to go they weigh 2lb 11oz. Bout a month away till I have five finished.

Q: So that is for the stock/chassis and action ? You still expecting the full rifle to come in at around 4.5 lbs ?

A: Yep that's for the whole rifle minus trigger and barrel, no chassis on my design. With a shorter barrel they should come in at around 4lb.

None of that makes any sense to me.. or I must be missing something
A full rifle is 4.5lb.. but thats no trigger or barrel.. so its 1/2 a rifle???
and if you go shorter barrel the 4.5lb becomes 4 lb.. but 4.5lb was with no barrel???

How is it light weight when a factory syn stock and action is the same weight?

Yeah.. you're missing something I think. To my reading, the comment "Yep that's for the whole rifle minus trigger and barrel, no chassis on my design." is in reply to the first half of that question, which was confirming what he included in the 2lb 11oz in the first question.

So, Everything less trigger and barrel - 2lb 11oz.
Entire bare rifle, 4-4.5lb, depending on barrel length.
