Well hell, if you were just looking to give away $430 you coulda got 1k rounds and give them out in the forum in 1~2~10 karmas
Now you're stuck without the $, without the bullets, without the karma love, and almost completely without anyone who will want the rifle should you see the error of your ways and try to get rid of it before it goes to hell in a handbasket.

Just because one 'can' do a thing doesn't mean one 'should' do a thing.

And of course you fixed the stock and removed the lug, but just not yet when this pic was taken.

Now, you take that poly lower and install a plum crazy poly lower parts kit, then get a dedicated 22lr upper. (ati, chiappa, and cmmg have plastic upper receivers)
Take that upper and retrofit the barrel with one of the older 10/22 poly sleeve over aluminum barrel tube barrels.

Lose the buffer and spring, replace receiver extension with pvc tubing.

Net result is an ultra light weight carbine that has a minimum of metallic parts.
So few in fact that many 'screening booths' or walk through detectors may not even pick it up unless their sensitivity is jacked up a bit more than most seem to be at.
 
you don't save much on weight...its minimal really once you mount it to the upper
Query: why not go with a pencil or lightened barrel?
Cost is no different from what I've looked at, and they are without doubt lighter than an M4 profile.

If you wanted to get really silly weight wise, there's someone out there selling a super light BCG but they are kinda pricey so would defeat the low budget angle.
 
Well that's them being goofy then considering an M16 carrier doesnt fall under NFA control.
Or at least there are several ATF letters out there that pretty much say 'so effin what' in regard to carriers.
Now if you've got am M16 FCG, then theres issues, but a FA carrier can be in anyones possesion with no hassle, papers, taxes, stamps or special permissions.
