Mine is below:
BCM 16” BFH ELW rifle. Why did I choose this? I chose it for several reasons. First, BCMs reputation. They have very strict QC and HPT and MPI barrels and bolts to identify any possible weak components. Second, I like the ELW barrel profile. It is light and easy to maneuver. Sure light barrels will have their groups open up after a mag of rapid shooting, but they also cool quickly. Finally, I like hammer forged barrels. To me it’s worth the extra money to have a barrel that may last longer. What accessories are necessary on a SHTF rifle? For me, a 1-4/5/6 is a must. Target ID becomes extremely important. With a scope you can see if a person is armed or just carrying an everyday item, whereas with an aim point or Eotech, you can’t. It also is much easier to hit someone at 200 yards (typical infantry engagement range) with magnification and a good reticle. Along those lines, I prefer a good Mil-based reticle for easily being able to estimate ranges. A sling is also important, for retention of your weapon and for ease of carrying. A good flashlight is also a must in case you are forced to work in a dark environment. Finally, sturdy and reliable magazines. Pics as promised!  Attached File |

I did gain a few pic sections with this Geissele FS but the LEAF will allow me to move the D-BaL and PP forward another inch. That will make my grip much more comfortable.

It's not as elegant and it doesn't have the included rear iron sight (but it has a window for backup irons) , but it works and I'm getting another one for a different rifle. I have 3 unity fast mounts. If you don't need the included iron sight, but like the height and the ability to still use irons, it's a great option, especially at about half the price of the Unity. I prefer the traditional irons over the Unity Irons. I have 2 or 3 Unity Mounts as well and adjusting the front sucks. The rear isn't bad at all but I honestly feel why pay $150ish for a Unity when I can get new MI ones for $65.00 I really like it on a 14.5" middy with a triangle front sight base, so I can use the red dot without any obstruction. You could do the same with the MI, of course, but the issue is if you want to use the Unity flip to center magnifier. A rear fixed or folding sight is in the way and you kind of have to choose whether you want the rear sight or the magnifier back there - or, as MI advertises, you mount the rear sight in front of the optic. Unity's solution to that is just so sleek. If I plan to use my magnifier on the gun, I use a Unity mount with the included rear sight and a fixed or folding front sight. For a gun that won't use the magnifier, I'll use the MI mount. |

Yeah, the way to do it is to use the Unity mount as a rear sight with a separate front.
