I just bought a 7-08 off campfire that has been chopped to 19" and has an aluminum trigger guard and a mountain ascent skeletonized bolt on it. It's at my ffl I haven't went and picked it up and weighed it yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't just under 5 lbs.
I'm gonna have it chambered to a 7-08 AI to try to gain back the little bit of velocity it may have lost from being chopped to 19". Totally unnecessary I know but I just like fooling with rifles.
