Muzzle device: Vortex, Phantom, or Saylor's..@ Rainier...I kinda like the Saylor's...kind of a combo of the other two

BUIS: Troy front & rear $245 @ JTAC or Denny's

Gas tube:

Bolt Carrier: Rainier Arms...Operation Parts RRA...LMT std. carrier only $119...$88.80

Scope Mount: Larue 1.5 SPR

The LMT bolt carrier is a better piece IMO, plus, you don't end up with an extra bolt & you save $30. You can save another $10 @ JTAC.

$40 total savings or JTAC offers KG Kote for $40

Ah, I missed that part, I was thinking MUR. That's what happens at 3 in the morning.

and +1 on the LMT carrier.

Weird...I show 'em at $340 marked down from $355

Try this link...if it doesn't work, I'd send Jason an e-mail and inquire.

For muzzle device I would go with a PRI MSTN Brake, it helps keep the recoil down for faster follow up shots.

VLTOR Rifle length VIS $729
Noveske SS gas block $60
WOA Reece barrel, $340
CProducts 25 rounder $24
6.8 Vortex $67
H-Buffer $16
LMT Bolt Carrier and Bolt$125 (could use another bolt anyways for the 5.56)
LMT Charging handle $20
KNS Perma Pin $7

Total cost unassembled is running right at $1400 so far. Still need ammo and maybe some BUIS. Long term I will need a scope but in the meantime I have a VX3 that will do the job.
