Scout Rifle AR build

[Bladedancer13]

Looking for help on my AR build that is as close to Lt. Jeff Cooper's Scout rifle concept as possible. While I have found everything that I need to make it I am missing the mark on weight. Sadly two areas that I am running into extremely limited option are the Buttstock and the fore end. In both instances I have only found one manufacturer option that makes either one. The FAB Defense buttstock and the BLK LBL Bipod are those items.

In my rabbit hole of a search I have not yet uncovered any lighter alternatives to either of these that fit the requirements set forth in the concept build. Thus far my only deviation that I am allowing is the caliber and I am choosing the 6.5 Grendel.

Does anyone know of alternatives to either of items in question that I simiply have not found? At this point cost doesn't matter as I understand that the build is going to be very pricey and I am fully expecting an expensive rifle.

Are you building a bolt action or AR-15 semi auto? Jeff Cooper Scout rifles were bolt action where the concept was produced by Steyr Scout Rifle and Ruger Scout rifle.

Are you intending to mount a scout scope on the handguard?

It will be an AR build. Cooper was not opposed to Semi-Auto rifles but acknowledged tge limitations in weight with that kind of weapon.

Planning on mounting one but not specifically a forward-mounted position due to not using stripper clips.

The Fab Defense weights just over a pound. 1.01 or something from my kitchen scale. I will take a look at those receivers. The Proof barrels were already on my radar as an option.
