Prob so lol. After going through every rendition of the SOPMOD clones heavy is something im familiar with and don't mind. But balance is what I've found to be everything. Throw a PEQ-2 on the side rail of that thing and you may be doing a forward cartwheel when you go to bring the muzzle up. |

I put the 552 on the upper rail to see how It balanced and to take advantage of the built in riser. It doesn't cowitness with the sights. A tad too high. Fun with block 1

Even better brother! I remember a while back readin about the BCM bein a spec replica of the one used on the c7. So I wasn't sure if this one was the "one". Know i now.

Anyone ever see an Elcan SU-230B (1.5-6x, 5.56) on an M4 or any other non-scar rifle? I've got one of these scopes and would like to use it on an AR variant if it's clone correct.

The afg with the insight switch forward feels very natural. Just a mock up. Barrel has to be torqued down and gas tube installed. 
The tri rail even came pre-painted! Didnt even have to pay extra
