Been reading the forum here for a couple of months now. Thought I'd sign up because of what I've read and the help it gave me (Thanks to everyone!). This is my humble first build:

-Eagle Arms (Armalite) lower
-Model 1 Sales complete lower kit
-Model 1 Sales Completed A2 20" upper

Here it is with its buddies!

Pretty standard AR (about one year and ~800 rounds old), but I thought that would be good at first. Now that I have the AR bug, I want something new. I'm looking to sell the shotgun in the picture to buy a 16" A3 EM-4 upper from Model 1 Sales. I'll then slowly buy up parts to complete the tactical package I want on it.

Just wondering what anyone thinks, suggestions, etc. (hopefully the pics work)

Do not sell that shotgun. Just buy more.

Quoted: Nice sock!

Tactical no-glare black at that.

welcome to the boards

Congrats  and Welcome to the site.

Thanks for the welcome! This is the final parts list I came up with for my tactical build:

-Vltor Carbine Clubfoot Modstock
-Magpul MIAD Grip
-YHM Lightweight Rail FF Handguard
-YHM Flip Up Front Sight Gas Block
-ARMS #40LSP BUIS or Midwest Industries BUIS

There are other parts, but I haven't picked them yet (vert. grip, sight, etc.).
I wanted to see if anyone has used the MIAD grip, ARMS BUIS or MI BUIS at all. I'd like to hear people's opinions on them, as I dont have access to samples thus far. Any info would be great.

If you're gonna have black rifles, you might as well get black socks, too. Thanks.
