| If you had the plain jane AR, what list of mods would you get and why? Money is no problem. I am looking for ideas for handguards tango down grips, weapon lights, |
|
That damn site has cost me $1800 so far.  
ETA: To the OP, I would (and did) get a Stealth upper from LT. I had a plane Bushmaster 20'' HBAR that I dressed up with a new upper along with a good scope. I think it was worth it. |
|
that's nothing. I spent that much there this month
|
|
What only $1,800........I have reached close to 10k within 3 years. |

I'll play...
Assuming I have a 16in barrel, I would get a lo pro gas block then put on a 11in LaRue rail with M900. I would put a KAC triple tap break on the end. I would use a CTR stock with a MIAD grip. For a BUIS it would be Troy front and rear and an Aimpoint T1 for a sight. Finally, I would send my Upper receiver and BCG to Fail Zero to get coated. Damn I think Im gonna have to start a new build...

This is good advise! I would also add that you should consider a 2 stage trigger. IMAO |

I already did my two carbines, a Colt 6721 and a LMT M4gery 16" carbines, but your post made me think if I would do another Colt 6920 what would I do to it.
I would just at first have a rail system, VFG, light, Aimpoint, and my choice of grip and stock, then later maybe an ACOG alternate optic, Surefire/ AAC sound suppressor and NV optics/ gear. FS: Surefire or Blackout (sound suppressor compatible) Low profile gas block: LaRue Rail: Daniel Defense MK18 RIS II (short version RIS II) Rail covers: TangoDown SCAR/ Magpul XTM VFG: LaRue FUG Optics: Aimpoint Micro T-1, Aimpoint M4S and Aimpoint 3X magnifier all on LaRue QD mounts BUIS: Troy M4 set Trigger: Geissele SSA 2 stage combat trigger Ambi controls: Norgon mag-catch, LMT ambi selector & ACLM Armadynamics CH Grip: Magpul MIAD Trigger guard: Magpul enhanced folding version Receiver extension (buffer tube): Vltor 5 position Buttstock: Magpul CTR/ LMT SOPMOD Weaponlight: Surefire M620C Scout Light Kit Minor upgrade: BCM bolt extractor spring upgrade kit |

I am interested in a lightweight rail system, where can I find specs on weight for the Larue and KAC, Also do they make a railed low profile gas block? I want to just tweak my colt. Yes they do make railed gas blocks Railed GB Im sure there are other brands out there if you search. However, you might also think about just getting a longer rail to cover the block. This way you have the extra rail and you still can mount your front sight to the rail...just an idea. The DD lite rail 7.0 weighs 8.5 oz DD website KAC RAS and the LaRue 7.0 weigh around 11oz if im not mistaken ETA: Just found this on another site: (weight in ounces) Carbine, FF, Abrams CAS-V (no attached rails), aluminum 17.0 Carbine, FF, Abrams/VLTOR CASV-EL, aluminum 16.0 Carbine, FF, ARMS #45C SIR (Carbine/Civilian), aluminum body with plastic lower 18.7 Carbine, FF, ARMS #45M SIR (Carbine/Military), aluminum body with plastic lower 20.6 Carbine, FF, ARMS #50 M-CV (no rails attached) 13.4 Carbine, FF, ARMS #50 SIR (Carbine, Bi-Level, Slimline), aluminum body with plastic lower 16.1 Carbine, FF, BMAS/YHM Free Float Tube, aluminum 10.1 Carbine, FF, BMAS/YHM Solid 4 Rail Forearm, aluminum 14.3 Carbine, FF, Clark Custom (Rifle tube cut to carbine length), Carbon Fiber 4.0 Carbine, FF, C-More Quad Rail, aluminum 15.8 Carbine, FF, Daniels Defense M4Rail 7.0, aluminum 8.5 Carbine, FF, DPMS Carbon Fiber one piece 6.0 Carbine, FF, Hiperform Carbon Fiber Tube, Standard, Carbon Fiber 7.4 Carbine, FF, Hiperform Carbon Fiber Tube, Ultra-Light, Carbon Fiber 5.7 Carbine, FF, Houge, aluminum with rubber inserts 14.1 Carbine, FF, KAC RAS FF, aluminum 11.4 Carbine, FF, KAC RAS II FF, aluminum 11.2 Carbine, FF, KAC URX, aluminum 8.9 Carbine, FF, LaRue 7.0, aluminum 11.0 Carbine, FF, Leitner-Wise ARM-R 12.7 Carbine, FF, Midwest Industries #20, aluminum 15.4 Carbine, FF, Olympic Arms FIRSH, aluminum 10.5 Carbine, FF, Olympic Arms FIRSH, aluminum 12.5 Carbine, FF, Sampson MRFS-C, aluminum 12.5 Carbine, FF, Troy MRF-C, aluminum 13.0 Carbine, FF, YHM Customizeable Tube (Carbine, no rails), aluminum 9.5 Carbine, FF, YHM Lightweight 4 Rail (Spectre Length), aluminum 12.9 Carbine, FF, YHM Lightweight 4 Rail, aluminum 10.6 For comparison the Surefire unit and a few of it competitors: (weight of the rail system) then installed weight in ounces.

I am looking for ideas for handguards tango down grips, weapon lights, I'm sure this apparent and probably doesn't need to be said but... if money is truly no problem why not start with something other than a Plain Jane rifle? This would obviously eliminate duplicate spending. Why pay for a needed component twice? Then again, if money is no problem who cares?  |
