In this episode of TFBTV, James is at Triggrcon 2018 in Bellevue, WA, where he meets with the engineers at Master of Arms to talk about the world’s lightest AR-15: The 3.65 pound ENYO. Moreover, the MoA guys have a 3D printed, titanium monocore silencer to show off – the extraterrestrial-like “Duckpuppy”. See the video for more information, and see the specs below:

From MoA’s press materials:
“We set out to design the lightest no compromise AR-15 rifle that had ever been produced. We have designed all of our components around high performance materials, combined with advanced engineering allowed us to not sacrifice accuracy or durability while reducing weight in every possible component. Our Esoteric receiver set manufactured from 7095 Tennalum is not only light, its incredibly strong. We utilize a proprietary tensioned handguard system to ensure that our custom profiled barrel does not move during extended firing periods. In order to achieve this accuracy the barrel is heated during installation to allow the barrel to grow. Once the barrel has reached its maximum growth, we assemble the upper and torque the nose cone nut to ensure that when the barrel cools the handguard resists the barrel from shrinking, keeping the barrel in tension.”

Refreshing to see so much innovation, technology, modern science & manufacturing techniques go into one beautiful creation. But enough about James's ripped physique, the rifle is pretty neat too.
So they machined a bunch of mass out of a an already lightweight titanium BCG…it cycled to violently and lent itself to carrier bounce so they added a giant, heavy ball bearing with springs to counter it? 🤨 I guess it’s only $450 🤦🏻♂️
I couldn't care less about the lightest A/R..I care about the BEST..just sayin.
Get in range TV to test it out
Polymer 80 would make that sucker even lighter haha
can i get it in 6.5 grendel
I wish a company would make a sub $1000 sub 5 lb AR.
lets see how complex we can make the wheel to get the latest greatest crowd to by another of the same gun they dont shoot. TRUTH
Lightest american trash
I can't wait to see how generative design will improve this even further
Shoulda put holes in it.
Is that just the baffling system for the suppressor?
Your salesman (drew) needs to stop saying "I think it's…" when he's talking about the features of his product. He needs to just know (seeing as how he even took part in the creation of it).
This is the Lightest ar15 in the world.
the new model is even lighter. I am also a manufacturer. You can get a CCF Ultralight fore way cheaper than most of the others.
$3200! You can build your own for that the exact way you want it. Fuck that, it will never catch.
This is amazing shit. $3500-4000 though …. ouch.
I gotta say, this has been one of if not THE best product presentations and shit-shoot I've ever seen. Real down to earth, homestyle stories of development, and brilliant design choices. MOA are real standup people, credit given where credit is due, that's not a bad price. To be frank lots of people are going to freak about the price, but the quality of concept, production, and machining looks spot on, and I know plenty of guys who've sunk right around $3,000 in aftermarket parts alone into ONE of their multiple AR's.
Without optics $3,200 is pretty nice for something you won't put much else into, especially compared to some custom 1911 proshops and small-batch rifle manufacturers.
California muzzle break
“3D printed titanium muzzle break” why? Just why. They just like the sound of it? Just mill it. It’s a muzzle break, not complicated to make, and they aren’t making a prototype.
I will never buy this kind of crap.
Not worth it at all!!!
Until it gets cheaper, lightweight rifles will not takeover the market. I give it another decade at least.
1.3kg is lighter than my laptop
They were not kidding about the homoerotic comments. I fucking love it!
I like the wight saving measures that don't involve cutting a bunch of gaping holes in the receiver. Nice job guys!
$3800… Nope!
I built one at 3.6 pounds for 2200 bucks
okay so…. this but with with a 11" barrel and an ultra light weight arm brace. The only thing lighter than that barrel would be no barrel.
I would love this in a grendel for hunting.
I thought lighter rifles makes the recoil higher?
