Hey guys! Simple kind of build here. Well, kind of half build and half "what direction should I go with this build?" kind of a build.

Lower:
Spike's Crusader lower
Magpul K2 grip
CMMG LPK with an unknown trigger group (I polished the surfaces)
Shockwave tube, blade, and buffer/spring - Coming soon

As she sits:
                 
Upper:
PSA 11.5 inch melonite pistol upper W/ A2 front sight post - Coming soon
Primary Arms advanced micro red dot?

My questions to you guys are, for a cheap but reliable red dot, would you guys recommend a PA advanced micro red dot?
What fixed rear iron sight would you recommend? Primarily going for aesthetics on the rear BUIS.
Any ideas on how to attach a WML without going quad rail? Should I just go quad rail?
Any ideas on really good looking free-float tubes?

Previous Bushmaster pseudo-build:
XM E2S upper and lower W/ 16 inch barrel
15 inch Troy Alpha
Shaved FSB for gas block
Streamlight TRL-1 HPL
Aimpoint Pro
A2 grip with finger groove removed

From what I hear, the PA dot is good to go. As for rails, I like: ALG, Faxon and Aero Precision.

I like the Yankee Hill Machine BUIS, The model # 9680 has worked well for me on a couple builds. Their FF rails are awesome too.

I have a Vortex Strikefire  (red dot only) on this build. It has held up really well, I think it was around 100.00

I like the PA red dots on pistols.


Works on rifles too.


The FFIII ain't half bad either.


But I also like good ol A2 style fixed sights.

As of now i'm waiting on parts to come in. I found this in stock and picked that up. Should be here 5/24. The shockwave blade kit will be here 5/19. I also ordered a regular A2 rear sight that should be here on 5/19 as well. Hopefully I can find a good deal on one of the PA advanced micros here pretty soon!

Site vendor Schuyler Arms is probably one of the better places to buy the PA MD-ADS when they're in stock (OOS at the moment)...$159 with free mount from what I remember.

Thanks for the tip! Amazon has them in stock as well! I will pick one of these up next week!


The KAK Shockwave blade has arrived!

Updated with the KAK Shockwave pistol brace, rear sight, and PSA 11.5 nitride pistol upper.


I think that I will end up getting an SLR Solo 11 inch hand guard for it. Does anyone have any pictures of an 11 inch rail on a 11.5 barrel?
