The Scar-L is light because it uses a pencil thin barrel, and a stock made of something slighter stiffer than paper mache. Seriously though, the bolt carrier on the thing is massive, so the weight savings comes from the barrel, lower receiver and stock. Also, the railed handguard is pretty short.

There are many downsides to the above compromises, of course.
