Upgrading the optics would be my first step to get rid of the "toy" feeling. Personally, every piston AR I've had FELT like a range toy to me.

I believe the BAD lever they are referring to is the B.A.D. (Battery Assist Device) ambi bolt release. There have been SOME issues with people not getting a hold open on last shot due to clearance issues with the clamp on style of the BAD Lever. If you want an Ambi Bolt Release look at the Phase 5 Tactical Gen 2 (Skeletonised Version) MFR Part # EBRV2 shown here. Phase 5 Ambi Bolt Release EBRV2 Since it is all 1 piece and does not "Clamp" on your bolt release there should not be upper clearance issues.. View Quote had one for a 308 and it worked 0% of the time so I sold it, not going to get a phase 5 any thing. I am going to get an aimpoint for sure, looking for one now, might try some different grips, also need a ms3 magpul sling, does any one run 5-20 motor oil in their guns ? View Quote Yeah I use Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-20 on the internals. I swear by it. Doesn't dry out and keeps carbon in suspension so cleaning is easy. |

You're missing a RDIAS or plate it in gold for pimptastic style.

It sounds like a nice set up to me. You could probably upgrade the RDS to a trijicon or Aimpoint for fighting-gun quality, besides that I see nothing wrong with it. |

And yet another victim to the BRD Welcome to the club. It doesnt stop, From what i read the setup looks fine to me, but your the one shooting it.

If I did have to choose a battery assist device it would be from Phase 5...it's a direct replacement, not a bolt on. I run their trigger guard and flash hider and their stuff is killer! |

here are some issues I have that make the gun just feel "slack" if you will.
selector switch ( its an ambi cannot think of who makes it, looks like knights style ) when I select from fire to safe its not very positive, not near what I would like it to be, might need a new spring but again at most I have had 5-1k rounds threw it. when I charge the gun it feels smooth, not normal smooth like the upper is wore out smooth, obviously I need to upgrade my optics but for being in the back yard, and doing drills so far its working out, the rock trigger is pretty dang slick esp with the mods I have don to it, I really rock and rolls, I put an mil spec trigger in the gun today and ran about 60 rounds threw it and hated it. something else that drives me batty is lights, I want to run 2 lights but two lights does not seem all that "smooth" I like the scout I have on their but 1 the scout has no ir light and 2 just not sure where to mount two lights, I run an sr07 switch on the top and that takes up most of my top rail, their will be just enough space for a dbal if I get one. what are you cleaning your lugs in your barrel extensions with btw ? I also am looking at an extra power spring made of chrome silicon |
