Alg trigger, bcm grip, bcm charging handle, good vfg. If you're gonna keep it bedside get a good flashlight

I would just get a mil spec ch if you want to keep costs down. Bcm ch's are definitely good to go. My CH of choice is the rainier arms raptor. The muzzle device is up for debate. If you feel that the bcm comp satisfies all nj laws then you might as well. Others believe there is a gray area big enough to want to avoid it. Either way you will need compliance work done for the bayo lug.

BCM is giving FREE BOLT CARRIER GROUPS. Just buy it. Its 169 for free. 439 plus a comp (under 100) and buy USED moe handguards and rear sight. You'll get under your $600

Get a bcm my friend

I like the m7. Nice pig sticker

Ended up getting a griffin m4sd ii tactical compensator. Pretty impressed in its ability to stay in target from the vids I seen.

Thread is also different between the 2. I'd get milspec just cause there are more options.

I can do that

I never understood how people used the acog on the carry handle mount. That's crazy high.

If you give me the receipt info I can look into it when I get back from vaca

Lowes probably considers this as a personal safe instead of a "gun safe" and proceeds to charge sales tax. With that said it does say, as OG pointed out, it is Cali approved. I personally, would refund the tax for you. It can't be overridden before the sale but can be refunded after. If you have any issues with the manager give me a call and I can refund you the tax at my store over the phone. I think that's an unfair statement. Most of my register people are part time college kids and older folks looking to supplement the family income. They are not trained in NJ tax laws (let alone specifically on gun safes) and generally default to what the computer says (which is 95% of the time correct). Idle threats of "Turning them into the dept of taxation" mean very little since it means very little to the store level. Calmly speaking to the manager on duty and explaining what happened, especially with the doj approval and tax law, will usually do the trick. It makes sense and its only a couple bucks. Once you go full retard on me I lose any interest of bending over backward for you.

Like he said. Keep your head u, eyes open, and sights out of the way for the most part till you need them

Fyi

Skdtac.com has PRO in stock for 358.60 shipped. Get it now boys.

Like I said I own a stag with the plus package and have put a few thousand rounds through it punching paper and in classes. Never had a failure or issue from day one. Its done me very well. But there's a reason my next purchase was a bcm. The people I trust, trust them. Plus seeing a gun like filthy 14 just reinforces those opinions. In the grand scheme of things I don't mind paying a couple hundred extra for something I know is quality.

Are you looking for a true spr or gonna be using it as a bench rifle? I would look for the right trigger first then worry about the barrel. Then match the barrel twist with the round you're most likely going to shoot. Make sure its the right profile for the type of shooting you will be doing.

I use the magpul poly rear sights. My one ar has the a2 front and the other is a Midwest industries rail height front sight cause of the gas block I have (stag model 3h). If it were me I'd call them with the order and ask them to put the a2 gas block on instead to be honest. The railed block is a pain in the ass

Yeah I'm going with that. I like the squids too. What do you think about the lantac? Too much gray area?

I'm actually in the middle of this now. It says Somerville isn't accepting online requests?

You hit the nail on the head. You know my set ups and I don't think I'll ever be adding ir lasers or anything like that. I can't think of any zeroed accessories id need mounted to my rail. Having a direct attached flashlight sounds good to keep things in tight but not a deal breaker. I can probably use a vtac mount and hang it off the top rail or an iwc direct attach too. In any event, I just didn't want to miss the boat on the new goodies

Should I do the keymod business? I don't think I need that much modularity

ok so this is what I'm planning. Gonna take out my lower from the stag. Has a moe rifle stock and a ssa-e trig Buy this barrel http://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-matchtm-223-wylde-barrel-18-spr Use a BCM stripped upper, put on my nikon p223 4-12x I'm stuck on the rails, I think I want 15" with a thin diameter. Also stuck on a muzzle device but that is more for show. I like the Lantac Dragon. Suggestions?

Learning the irons is fun. Always good to be proficient. Like I said dont be afraid of used stuff. Most people aren't serious with their ars and just have them sit in the safe. Good second hand stuff is easy to come by

I got an eo EXPS 2-0 for <$400 by watching sales and rebates. It can be done. Be patient and save your pennies. Yes,if you'd like it at a comfortable height. There is absolute and lower 1/3 co-witness ( please Google first ). Its up to you what you prefer. My preference is the latter.
