Very nice, though do you have compartments to carry all the extra batteries you'll need to keep the Eotech up and running (says the reformed Eotech user who now uses nothing but Aimpoints)  I agree replace the Eotech with an Aimpoint That's the AA battery version, it will last a lot longer than the N battery version. Why not just go with a no battery powered optic?

How come you did your rifle in a "desert colors" scheme? I didn't know that there were deserts in Florida. Well, inall fairness, just about have the state is a beach and the whole damn thing is nothing but sand. 
Looks good to me although, I'm partial to all black EBR's |
I will be filling my bug-in-bag with batteries for the EOtech ...the reason I got the EOtech is because I seriously do not see a situation where I'd ever have to bug out (I live in the sticks as it is so I basically live bugged out) and the sight is just what works best for me.
The forward grip is where it is because I can drive the rifle from target to target very fast and on point. The flashlight is there obviously because thats where my hand would be. I picked the SOCOM stock because I like the way it looks and it is 100% solid, if I end up using it rough it wont break, as I have seen regular stocks break (from very rough use though). I chose the color because I got a good deal on my pistol so I decided to make my rifle match it, BUT the desert color scheme blends in very well with the native plant-life around here. I guess it would come in handy on the beach like one of you said but I have never even thought about that. Specs- Bushmaster (flame-suit on ) 1/9 14.5" barrel with perm vortex
LMT BCG MI BUIS (bought these before they decided to shit on Mark LaRue.) Sabre Defence upper receiver Stag Lower MAGPUL trigger guard Gas-buster charging handle LaRue 9.0 Rail KNS pins ACE SOCOM stock with a shitty paint job and H2 buffer MIAD with bolt/firing pin core EOTech 512 LaRue FUG LaRue offset flashlight mount with Surefire 6P I have a Blue Force Gear Vickers combat applications sling that's not in the picture. ...and yes it needs alot more suppressor, but i need alot more $$.

SBR the rifle to 10.5"-12" and get suppressors for both. These are the only real changes that I would insist upon.
Out of personal preference I would change the Eotech to an Aimpoint CompM4 with a killflash device and the Ace to a LMT SOPMOD, but if you like it don't change it. |

As soon as I turn 21, and provided I have the money, I will be getting my hands on a couple of suppressors, I may or may not SBR it, probably not... |

Looks like you have just about all the Tacticool nonsense that you can put on one rifle. Can you pick it up with out help?  A flashlight and an EOTech does not weigh shit. Then again I would not reccomend you putting these things on your rifle, it's to heavy for women.

I really like it. I'm a keep it simple guy so my liking that says a lot. I would have a collapsible stock on there though. It extends, in the pic it's collapsed. 
I LOVED my KISS setup, but my dad liked it more so he bought it from me and i put together this rifle for SHTF/HD use. Here's a shitty pic of my old KISS rifle...

You ask for everyones opinion, and then get an attitude because someone dont agree with your set up. I'm sure all your buddies at school will be impressed with it. |

The way you said it was insinuating that the flashlight and such is trying to be cool (tacticool)...Im sure you do not relize that a flashlight is a must for HD...EOtech is a preference. Dont get butthurt because you took my post way too seriously, there was no attitude there at all. |

Dont get butthurt because you took my post way too seriously, there was no attitude there at all. Flashlight is an absolute must on any fighting rifle. My M16A4 weighed 11lbs with all the BS that I had to carry with it. That rifle is fine at 8 lbs. |

Are you saying you don't see an advantage to an EOtech in any situation? Just wondering your reasoning for the "nonsense" portion. I personally have gone with and without a CCO through situations and definately have an EOTech tied down on my M4 at all times now.
As far as the rifle goes I would give it an 8. Don't really like the stock much, but to each his own. Very nice rifle. If you would just send it to me for further evaluation it might convience me to bump it to a 9
I also used to carry with my forward grip towards the front for that same reason. It allows you to drive the barrel from target to target. |

Most Aimpoint's have 50,000 hours of battery life. My EOTech has 2000 hours...but i prefer the EOTech setup alot more over just a red-dot. |
| I like your rifle even though I've never had one in any color but black. I like eotechs also. The new Eotechs last a long time on 2A batteries. I don't think I've ever had to change mine and it's almost a year old. Of course, I turn it off when not in use. Anyway, your rifle looks like it will get the job done. |

I really liked the EOtech's reticle and how fast and easy to get on target with it is. But yeah damn thing eats through batteries and whatever you do don't leave it on and put it back in the safe. Lost many a batteries that way. Aimpoint is much better on batteries. |

Well if the EOTech uses AA Batteries I am set, I have a life time supply, I get them free from my Ex-Wife, she gets them free from where she works

Only certain models use AA, make sure the one you order uses them, or else you will end up pissed. |
