Are there any good deals on a lower parts kit out there on the internet for Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

 

Also, out of curiosity, what do most people here do with flat top uppers they want to throw a scope on? Do you get high rings or use a 3/4" riser, or something else I am not thinking of?

Gearhog had a $30 joebob coupon code for $15 and decent prices on LPKs. Dunno if still available.

 

If you want to scope your upper you can use high rings, especially if you only plan to shoot it form sitting at a bench. If you want to be able to shoot it off hand with a nose to charging handle cheek weld, you will need something that puts the scope WAY forward.

 

Larue SPR-E, and american defense recon-x mounts are my preffered mounts. Good, but expensive.

 

Cheaper alternatives are something like the burris P.E.P.R mount. but it is not QD.

 

If you already have some medium rings sitting around, a yhm 6" rail extension added to them will get you all the eye relief you might need for a nose to charging handle cheek weld.

I have an american defense mount on my colt. It's great and very ease to take off/on for cleaning.

 

Palmetto state has lpj's for $44.
