Thanks for the info. I'm not great sometimes asking for help. Maybe I will ask a different way. Say what I'm looking at. I have a complete 16 inch carbine that has a non float magpul moe handguard with a YHM flip up front. It has a 1x6 lpvo.
I also have a complete lower assembly that I need to purchase a complete upper for.
I have, in a box, a 1x prism.
I'm thinking about putting the prism on the 16 inch and using the lpvo on the new free float upper that I need to purchase.
I would prefer not to spend more money on a second lpvo.
So basically, if you were to decide, what would you do?
Money is the driving force.
Again , these rifles won't serve a particular role, just trying to get 2 useable rifles at the lowest cost.
So, assuming a new upper, does the 1x6 make sense for something other than a 16 inch?
Thanks and sorry for fat thumbing on my phone.
