is a bayonet lug, I can't get rid of it without a grinder. It's a part of that gas block casting.
That sling loop is pinned into place, too.

If you grind off the lug how will you mount the bayonet?
And if you don't have a bayonet how can you jab the Hippies?
Always the practical one, that Stretch.
Replace the gas-block with a railed block and add a light weight front sight?
BGM
Lighter than this? No such thing.
Um... I don't see a problem, what am I missing???
Bayonet lug = Good
Grinder = Bubba
Keep your hands to yourself.
Someone suggested ditching the lug to save weight. Geodkyt?
Want to try a bayonet on it? Handy for single zombies...
Evil, Evil Bayonet lug! I got a chill up my spine and the hair on my neck stood up! Really though, you can have a more noticeable weight savings in a new barrel, trashing the quad rail for a simple free floated fiberglass tube forend with short rail sections only where you need them, lighter no-compartment butt stock, etc. Grinding this off would definitely Bubba you weapon.
I see, it's NOT an ARMS 41-B, it's a 41-BL, isn't it? Hadn't even heard of the BL variant until this morning.
(The ARMS 41-B has a removable lug, that you just unscrew the mounting bolts to remove. Stiffer design better engineered to take the load of a bayonet thrust, too -- even with the removeable feature.)
As for making this a "Bubba" weapon, we are talking about a nonstandard part already, where the whole gas block assembly is merely screwed on and 100% user-replaceable with an Allen wrench and two drops of Loctite if you later change your mind. (On second thought, skip the Loctite -- I'm not sure if even the high temp version can take the heat.) This is like changing the shifter knob in your car, not chopping the roofline.
A 3/32" punch and a good hard thump from a hammer and that pinned in sling swivel comes right off.
You may be going too OCD on weight though. Pick up your M1A. As long as the AR is still lighter than that; you're golden.
There are several advantages to a free floated barrel that make the mass of a tube worth it. A sling swivel that mounts to tube also lets you really bear down on it and have no affect on the barrel at all. I think I have a spare GG&G rail mount swivel if you want one. Drop me an email.
