Well, I'm a lefty so here is where I start:
1.) Mega arms slide lock charging handle or Rainier Arms Raptor $50-80 2.)CAA stock cheek saddle (makes a signfigant improvement on cheek weld). $20 3.) Ambi/single point sling mount. $10-20 |

Would you go with the ambi safety?

Honestly, I've become so use to the standard safety that I've never used an ambi safety. The big handicap for left handers on an AR-15 is the charging handle IMO. Mag release actually works in a left handers favor. Safety is so-so. Oh, forgot to mention, I also buy a new grip. I like the Ergo ambi grip and B5 systems. I have them both on my ARs.

Would you go with the ambi safety? As a lefty, yep or a reversed single sided safety. The nice thing on ambi safeties is how easy you can sweep them back on. However a normal safety is quite good if you are right handed. I would swap out the grip, with a LaRue APEG or a 'steep angle' Magpul K2. Any other mods, I would suggest you wait on until you shoot the rifle some. |

Personally I would do this:
- Ditch the handguard and fixed FSB - Replace with low pro gas block - Add Geissele or ALG rail if on a budget - Sell EOTech - Use those funds for an Aimpoint PRO - Ditch grip and stock - Add Ergo grip and B5 SOPMOD or UCIW stock Obviously people have preferences on exact parts, so anything quality will do. I've never felt the need for a cheek rest or ambi safety. Skip a full quad rail, and add a light if it will be for HD. |

First thing I would do is load up some ammo, of varying types, and get to know the rifle and make sure it works. Otherwise, you will be like some people, change out this and that right out of the box, dork something up along the way, and can't figure out why your rifle sucks.

I think the post above mine about shooting what you have is great advice. Try your Eotech, I am a Aimpoint Pro fan, but find out if Eotech works for you....Then get a Aimpoint PRO, you don't have to ditch the Front Sight Base (FSB), but if you do you need a gas block to replace the builtin gas block in the FSB.
Just shoot it some decide what YOU like. |

Ah ok now it makes sense. How do i loose the FSB then if I want to take it off?
And shooting it is gonna happen in a couple weeks. Probably after the new year. Just wanted to get ideas for myself. |

Shoot it and figure out what you need verses what you want. I am a HUGE red dot guy so I would go ahead and buy a Aimpoint ACO or PRO. |

I would never recommend anyone buy an ACO at the current prices. With the number and type of features they lack, compared to the PRO, they are extremely over priced. They should cost in the $200 to $250 range.
