Let's build an extreme use AR-15 (UPDATE PAGE 8 & 9)

[travk1234]

I guess this is as good a thread as any for my first post.

This is my setup. My overall reasoning behind my build, based on price point, use, and cool factor (you all know, you do it).

Handguard: MI 12" freefloat rail
Reason: Freefloat, plenty of rail space, and allows me to use my arm fully locked out.

Sights: Matech rear, MBUS front
Reason: Matech was a item left over from my Army days, and free. The MBUS was a inexpensive and works well as a backup.

Optic: EOTech 557 with Aimpoint 3x Magnifier on Larue flip mount
Reason: The EOTech I used on my M4 while I was deployed, It was a personal Item that my COC allowed me to use. Same goes for the magnifier. The Larue mount was bought after the mount I had gave out.

Grip: Magpul MOE
Reason: comfort and stippled for more texture. Plus has spare AA batteries inside.

Stock: Magpul MOE
Reason: Light weight alternative to the SOPMOD 1 stock. Not having a lock doesnt bother me. But my beard still gets pulled out every now and again.

Barrel including length: 16" YHM fluted.
Reason: Price, although it is a 1/9 twist, It stabilizes everything I will reload and be able to get my hands on readily. New barrel is in the works. Looking at the Rainier Arms 1/8 twist

LPK/Trigger: Geissele SSA
Reason: No reasoning needed is there?

Buffer: Simple carbine length buffer
Reason: ain't broke don't fix it.

BCG: BCM
Reason: Better quality

Upper Rec: Spikes
Reason: Works the same as any other upper I have ever used.

Lower Rec: Spikes
Reason: Same as above

Magazine: USGI
Reason: because I have 80+ new in package in a foot locker next to the reloading bench.

Lights/lasers/etc: Surefire 6P series
Reason: Works well, but isn't to bright to "splash" on the white walls during bumps in the night. Possibly moving to a TLR1s like on my carry pistol in the future.

Charging Handle: BCM Gunfighter Mod3
Reason: Better grip, sturdier, reminds me that I still have feeling in my hands when it pinches me.

Flash Hider/Comp: YHM Comp
Reason: HUGE difference from the birdcage. I actually love it and cant beat it for $35

Misc Stuff rail covers etc: KAC rail covers from Army. Magpul AFG
Reason:
