Looks good. Good choice on the optic. I have more than one. I picked up both of mine 2nd hand not long after they they released the 1-6x and the 1-4x fell out of favor. That is a lot of scope for $269. I really like how fine the cross hairs are. The lighted portion isn't all that bright. Even a bit of an overcast day can overpower the light. No optic is perfect.
Looks like a nice build with a solid optic. Good luck with it. |

I'm not much on mil-spec triggers, but that's personal preference. Other than that it dounds good and I agree, pictures are in order.

Why a comp?
I'm not trying to be a smartass/badass but 556 is very low recoil and I know 3 gun types use them for very fast competition shooting where inches count but don't see the advantage and mostly disadvantage on a truck gun. |

I agree on the comp, but don’t see that he mentioned truck gun anywhere.

His list appears mid to lower to me. He is even using a no longer produced (maybe it has been reintroduced) optic. I don't understand the venom. |

Once reliability is confidently established, I think a trigger is the single most important component on an AR. If it were me I'd upgrade the trigger on the next pass but you are g2g on the overall build. And pics, pls. |

I don't understand the venom. I wouldnt go so far as to refer to it as "mid to lower tier". He used quality components and built a very respectable firearm. Just because he didn't pay extra for a name so that he can impress the internet people doesn't discount the fact that he used solid, reliable parts from respected companies. You did good OP. |

I don't understand the venom. No slight intended against the OP. Seems a solid build. I just don't understand why people seem to seek approval of their components from other people. Everybody has different tastes, budgets, brand loyalty, etc. I think is it stupid to drop $200 on a handguard, but some spend even more, and for what? A rollmark? To impress the masses? Like the shoe peoples say, jus doIT |

My point isn't that it wasn't solid or reliable at all. It was wise spending. I was countering a previous point made by another poster calling it "gucci" for some reason. And, I rarely if ever use the word "tier" in any discussion of ARs. It is silly speak. My reference was to price. A wise use of money. When one can spend hundreds on a stripped lower buying an aero would be a lower priced option as would the optic. Good stuff to be sure but not a $400 lower or a $1000 optic now is it. Do not attempt to characterize what I said in any way other than what I said. |

Good insurance I think. |

I in no way meant it as criticizing you and based on what you just said I think we pretty much have the same opinion. It's a solid gun, built on reliable parts. |

Solid build imo, nice.
One thing to keep an eye out for is extraction issues. I used two Toolcraft bolt/bcg, and both needed a stronger extractor springs w/donut in the bolt. Initially I had some fail to fully extract and then jam up as the bolt tried to load the next round. After that spring swap, they ran 100%. I’m a fan of toolcraft, very nice stuff. Your rifle should serve well. |
