The VSeven (V7) Weapons Systems Crazy Light AR-15 Upper Build! We take the Budget Jack Carbine and make it an even lighter AR-15 build! VSeven (V7) Weapons Systems makes the lightest AR-15 parts on them market. They use very space aged alloys like 2055 and 2099 Lithium/Aluminum. These alloys are better in regards to improved stress durability and corrosion resistance. Stress is huge in firearm parts, so using materials that are improved and take more stress is never a bad thing! VSeven (V7) Weapons Systems also makes tons of titanium parts, like their bolt carrier groups and gas blocks. Throw all this together, like we are, and you get a nice weight savings.

We will also use VSeven (V7) Weapons Systems medium contoured fluted match barrel. It is 1 in 7 twist chambered in 5.56. Stay tuned for the build video when we throw all these VSeven (V7) Weapons Systems parts together.

  1. Thanks for the vid. A couple thing you did not mention about the barrel that will help to understand the cost of it. The fluting is an option that can be added to most of the of their barrels. This not only helps to lighten the barrel but also adds surface area to aid in cooling. They offer color coating too. They also use polygonal rifling which aids in projectile sealing, cleaning and other things. Best to google this, but one more plus for barrel. Plus they have a lifetime warranty and come with a low profile gas block. I have used a bit of there stuff it is pricey but I think worth it. I have the titanium BCG in my two rifles but have been running the JP Silent Capture Spring buffer some very nice stuff. One thing I like about their Ti BCG is unlike most lightweight BCG all the metal is not milled away leaving you a toothpick. Yes it is light but I think the removing so much material weakens the BCG it might be good for a race gun or competition but not a battle rifle just my view. I have a couple vids on my rifle check it out let me know what you think if you have time. Thanks again for the vid some real good stuff.

  2. 7.5 inch AR pistol using a KMR rail , SBA3 brace, WML light, Trijicon RMR (279$ from cabelas sale), Ballistics advantage barrel (which trumps all aftermarket barrels for the money in my opinion), DSA titanium A2 flash hider and lower parts, = a sub 5 pound bad to the bone gun for <1000$

  3. Just subscribed. I am hoping for an update vid with accuracy results. I've been meaning to build a VSeven upper but other builds help priority but this video has reinvigorated the desire to build me some V7

  4. DSA Arms has a lot of light weight titanium components at a much more attractive price point. Additionally, PWS has a really great light weight fluted buffer tube with a ratchet lock castle nut.

  5. I agree about achieving lightness but that rail looks like if it fell on to a rock hard enough it would dent or break easier than others. I think I'm going to stick with my BCM KMR Alpha rail, yes it's keymod and I don't care.

  6. My wife and I just bought a complete Vseven rifle, ITS BAD ASS! Just tested the lightweight fluted barrel and it’s very accurate. It’s got tons of titanium parts including titanium bolt carrier which saves 4 ounces alone. The rifle we purchased weighs 4 pounds 14 ounces naked
