Also running a Blackstrand carbon suppressor which at 190g is a decent weight saving on a DPT at around 320g

I went a step further and carbon wrapped the factory barrel, which removed about 200g while keeping the same stiffness as the original contour.

FYI, factory Tikka bolt assy is 320g

Your break down of the price per gram for various different operations is an interesting way to look at it.

I need one of those bolt shrouds

Where did you acquire this light suppressor you speak of?
