Quote HistoryQuoted: BCM Mod 3 is my favorite, I wanted the same things out of my grip as you.

LBX sling and grovtec qd swivels if you want to save a little over the BFG and Vtac stuff.

Quote HistoryQuoted: lol, that Magpul stock can't even hold a spare emergency mag. no thanks Yeah, I used to have an A2 fixed stock on my "AR pattern rifle" in my past life. Some of us kept a spare magazine pouch on the right side of the stock. Don't think that's possible with M4 style stocks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't think so. IIRC, the CTR stock can be retro'd with a QD socket. For the MOE stocks you'll need something like this: https://www.impactweaponscomponents.com/product/qd-rotation-limited-buttstock-sling-mount-n-slot/ Works with any stock with a sling webbing slot. You are correct, I got confused with the old ACS stock for a minute there. |

Okay, checked out a few youtube reviews. BCM grip looks solid. Just ordered it. Can't wait for it to arrive!
Now on to spare parts questions! So I am on a buying binge, and want to add spare parts to my inventory. This week I ordered a spare: BCM midlength gas tube and roll pin 2 sets BCM gas rings 1 BCM complete bolt 1 BCM firing pin 1 LBE unlimited firing pin (feeling suspect about this unheard-of-to-me brand) 1 BCM cam pin 3 BCM firing pin retaining pins What else should I get? Edit: Also want to order a headspace gauge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Okay, idk why it didn't work the first time round. Just ordered it with the QD swivel loop. How tricky can I expect this sling to be set up? Still gonna order a Blue Force Vickers sling so I can compare. Its not at all, Lefty here, just had to undo straps, flip it around and put it back together. Once you have it in your hands and see how simple it is you’ll see. Make sure to pick up both of the attatchment hardwares. @Skyler2000 Did you make sure to get one of these too?  Attached FileI use a Mash hook with a KAC ball lock eyelet / Magpul MAG5431 QDM and the Magpul MAG337 sling attachment mount.

Re your question from pg1 on a light - look into Streamlight ProTac (my personal favorite, also Inforce WML is a decent second choice for a bit different form factor). Great light at a nicer pricepoint than a Surefire Scout |

Does this stock have any noticeable difference in feel from the standard MOE stock? Different feel in the shoulder, cheek weld? |

Now for the rest of my gear. I don't have a flak and plates and all that. Once I have enough money, I "might" get one. I'm familiar enough with them. My money will go to a pair of ANPVS 14s and PEQ 15 before it does to a flak. IMO, night vision is your next more important thing after your weapon, mags and ammo is sorted out.
But until I do, I just need basic deuce gear, or an LBV. I know chest rigs are popular among some. I'm sure there are a million types of LBVs out there. I like the traditional Alice LBV because it keeps your mags on your hips instead of your chest. Just swap out the mag pouches with modern ones and add a drop pouch to the left side. Is that ridiculous or silly? Honestly think it works even today. Since your mags are on your waist rather than your chest, you have better access while prone and they're not digging into your torso when doing so. You can still keep miscellaneous items, but you just have to organize it differently. You can still keep a butt pouch and camelbak. Find a place to store an IFAK and knife, and you're good to go. That's my ideal setup, but I'm sure there are better setups for those who know about all the different models and brands. I'm all ears. |
