I apologize for bump an old topic from the dead, just have a few interesting things from personal experience, maybe someone will need this information in the future personally i would just buy an assembled flat top receiver for $130. Find a local gunsmith that works on ar15's. He can change it out in less than 20 minutes, so it shouldn't cost much. Call around and ask, $30-$50 sounds reasonable for the low amount of work involved. Actually my gun smith can order the parts directly, so that helps him further pad his pocket. He charges the same as buying it online, so i would rather the profit go to him. Your alternative are any of the prism scopes similar to acog. Primary Arms will be releasing their 4x ACSS scope https://thetacticalscopes.com/best-acog-mount-awesome-support-optics/ soon, Burris has the 332 and 536. But if you have the budget, acogs are really nice. My problem is i tried a scope mounted on a carry handle is it's really really high. It's a chin weld and not comfortable to shoot at all, especially laying down prone and having to raise your neck up. If you are doing 100 yard shots, you'll probably be ok, but if you are trying to reach out longer, it's not an ideal cheek weld.

I have been using the Okuma Epixor eb 30 and 50 live bait system reels from shore and boat for over a year and they are worth it ;D.The 2nd drag on these bait runner type reels lets you go from free spool to any drag pressure at a flick of a lever without touching your main drag setting with a closed bail.The drag system is sweet,under the worse ice fishing conditions these reels didn't studder at all ;D.Just like everything else the good stuffs not cheap.
