 Info request on the 5.56 Midlength Tactical Elite

I was hoping to get some additional info on the 5.56 Midlength Tactical Elite that is not listed on the AA website.

The website has listed...
The Adams Arms 5.56 Midlength Tactical Elite Piston Upper

Midlength Gas Piston System
Adams Arms 16” Melonited Barrel
M4 Feed Ramps
1:7 Right Handed Twist
Chambered in 5.56 NATO
12" Extended Free Floating Quad Rail
A2 Flash Hider


How much does it weigh?
Is there any additional information on the barrel? Or just that it is melonite treated?
Also, is this the same rifle as the Carbine Tactical elite, just with different rails?

Thanks for the help!

Tek,

I thought I read somewhere in an ad that is was nearly 5 pounds. It's not the same as the Carbine "Tac Elite" since it has the mid-length gas system vs. the carbine length. And of course, a longer rail system.
