  1. One key metric was omitted: How much weight did the second pattern gain?

  2.  @xexecuterxx  Considering how much beefier the bolt and gas piston was, and considering the very thin sheet metal shoulder stock was replaced with solid wood I think there's room for quite a bit of weight gain. Especially as the original receiver was already very thin walled.

  3. A lot of the beefing up of parts seemed to be a direct response to advanced alloy shortage. That there is no longer a slot though the bolt clearly states that they're willing to trade in some strength in exchange for what looks like a rather fiddly firing pin mounting procedure.
