Exactly. My Rocky is probably right on that tipping point, there is probably way too much alloy and steel up front, but it still is just nice enough to carry round with a good two point QA sling. The barrel could probably be half the diameter it is under the hand guard, but I still like it. The NEA carbines are very light weight.
