Just ordered my stripped lower and will begin building as soon as it comes. I have a parts list and cant wait to start.
Lower: Spikes stripped lower Upper: Delton 16" mid-length kit, 1x7 twist barrel and YHM diamond handgaurd Upgrades: BCM Gunfighter CH mod 3 Larue fixed BUIS Magpul goodies: AFG, B.A.D., ASAP & MS2, ACS, MIAD AND P-MAGS mount for surefire G2 Also thinking of adding redi-mag. This will be my patrol rifle and will not be adding optic that is why I am choosing fixed sights. Trying to find a good comp to help muzzle control. Suggestions welcome. Will add pics when parts start rolling in. |

I would ditch the B.A.D. lever on the duty rifle.
Hold up Hold up... calm down. First I believe that guys on the job should use the KISS philosophy. Not to say just a stock A2 but keep the gizmos to a minimum for reliabilties sake. Next some people have experienced problems with the BAD lever messing with the bolt cycle and locking back and etc. Can't remember the thread but i do recall it happening. I wouldn't want some freak occurrence putting my rifle down when I need it most. Next, the less things to catch on vests, holsters, belts/whatever the better. Finally, training with the BAD lever is going to make your muscle memory adapt to it. If SHTF and your weapon goes down, you pick up your buddies, and you fumble trying to hit the lever, realize its not there, etc. Seconds count. Ive done it at the range with my rifles... took me a second to be like "oh yeah, i dont have it on this rifle" Sure you reset faster with the BAD, but the time you gain (which is negligible if you train and practice) doesn't outweigh the POSSIBLE negatives. This is just my personal opinion. And only applies to duty weapons that aren't standardized. Also what BCG? I recommend the spikes NiB... Thats one gizmo that should be on EVERY duty rifle. |
