I don't get the hate for the polymer, you want your rifle to be as light as possible, but then go with a heavier body for no reason other than 'feel', yet you never touch it while actually using the gun. you hold the polymer pistol grip!
as for justifying the kriss because it already has an ali handguard, is it a handguard you like? is it comfy? if you decide to shorten your barrel to make it even more handy, then you'd probably want another handguard anyway, and unless you costa clamp, do you need the big long handguards on the kriss, or are they just more un-needed weight?
you can have a 15/22 with handguard, stupid big optics etc, and still be lighter than the kriss bare.
the only drawback I can think of with the 15/22 is you are a bit limited with stocks.
Half of the 'new' innovations of the full-bore AR's has been trying to make a polymer lower a reality!
FYI you will end up switching out the trigger on all of the guns mentioned with the possible exception of the Lantac if you request a specific one for your build. Wouldn't hold out much hope for getting one before Christmas though!
