Purple Patrick 638 Posted February 7, 2016 Well I've had this lower sitting around for a loooonngg time since I sold my upper, it's actually the first "gun" I've ever bought, so I figured it needed to be brought back to life. Lower is a stag that I built myself, it's all milspec as far as the lpk and trigger go so nothing fancy. I just got the new stock today it is a magpul carbine fixed stock and I plan on getting the prs buttpad. Grip is magpul so is the trigger guard. Upper is a mid length stag 14.5 with levang comp wearing a yhm free float. It's got the afg on it but I'm ditching that for their vfg. The light is a streamlight tlr2 g but that is also only temporary until I get a new mount for my foursevens light. The optic is a Burris ff3 in their protected ar f3 mount and I'm waiting on some magpul buis pro's. It needs a new charging handle I'm thinking a bcm gf4. Well that's it for now. It needs a new sling(ms1) and maybe I'll do a trigger later. It's just going to be an all purpose rifle I'm not looking to do anything super fancy with it yet. P.s. thanks for the upper Mike Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Patrick 638 Posted February 7, 2016 Looking at the entire market the magpul pros seem to be the best buis on the market for the price right now Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted February 7, 2016 Social guns get Troy BUIS or GG&G MAD rear BUIS. Fun/training guns get MBUS. I wasnt a fan of the Magpul Pro BUIS - it is completely subjective, but I didn't like the sight picture. Meh... You can get a set of Troy BUIS (front and back) right now on sale at DSG for $140: https://dsgarms.com/kt-try-sights-2?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Troy%20Folding%20Battlesight%20Set%20-%20Black&utm_campaign=2/5%20-%20weekend%20update (You have to log into their site for the sale price). With the durability and long battery life of my Aimpoint T1 and PROs I haven't used BUIS in so long, I am seriously considering not putting them on fun/training guns at all from this point forward.

fatty 241 Posted February 7, 2016 i like that the pros are low to the receiver when flipped down didn't realize how much those were though. PSA has the set for around $200 and theres one on amazon for $152 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted February 7, 2016 HE - have you tried the GG&G MAD with the tritium inserts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted February 7, 2016 Nope. Not a fan of tritium sights especially on ARs. I think they are unnecessary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Patrick 638 Posted February 7, 2016 I'm looking at picking up an aimpoint. I know the mbus bros are the best in terms of sight picture but the size and ease of adjustment swayed me towards them Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was gunna get a vortex sparc but I think wait and see if i get a good deal on a aimpoint patrol. I have a fixed front sight so only need a rear sight. Not sure on the magpul or troy still. If you see any good deals on an aimpoint please let me know I'll do the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

medved11 71 Posted February 9, 2016 What's the general opinion on the Levang comp? I'm trying to pick a brake/comp for my build and I'm having some trouble deciding what to go with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to pick a brake/comp for my build and I'm having some trouble deciding what to go with.I haven't shot it yet but people really like it's ability to send the blast down range instead of side to ice Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted February 9, 2016 Muzzle devices are very subjective, and a lot depends on what you want the device to be able to do. You get 4 shooters in a room and you will get 6 opinions on which muzzle device works best. The levange type direct the blast forward but do little to mitigate muzzle rise and some say they can increase their perceived recoil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Patrick 638 Posted February 23, 2016 So I got the magpul light mount and have it at 11 of clock... I love it. Also got the mbus pro sights in... also love them. I have a ms4 sling waiting on a the rear mount... dumb me figured the fixed stock would have included the quick detach but it doesnt.

Haa you wouldn't believe the deal I got on the rear the mount looks really far out and it probably is but it feels great to use.
