It's The Sights

Dissy Dottie ends up 1.5 oz. heavier than Valentine with the same handguards

3.7 oz. are from Dissy Dottie having a big block of aluminum UTG fixed rear sight and Valentine has the much more svelte folding KAC 600m.

The M16A1 trapdoor stock is 1/2 oz. heavier than the A2.

The rest is from the barrel profile and extra gas-block conspiring to eliminate the weight savings from chopping 4" of barrel (which should be a weight savings of 7.3 oz.)!

Update: Looking at the profile, the 4" comes out of the pencil section and should only account for a weight savings of 4.9 ounces.
