    New upper arrived today

    And by today I actually mean "Friday", but I haven't been able to even open it until today.

    16" BCM Midlength 1/7 with YHM 12" railed handguard
    Gunfighter Charging Handle, large latch
    DD MPI Auto bolt

    Going to be paired with an LRB Arms receiver (marked LRB, made by JV Precision)
    Magpul ACS stock
    and a Leupold 1.5-4 MR/T scope

    That's a beauty. I like the look of the rail systems, but always go back to the smaller handguards because they just feel right to me.

    Is this going to be for a dedicated purpose or just for fun?

    Sweet - whatcha gonna hang on all those rails? Or is it for versatility? ie to allow you to put different things on for different situations...

    All of my AR's have standardish handguards.

    GP trunk gun. I'm making a platform switch to ARs. This rifle will be replacing my SLR-107FR as my "Go to" in my vehicle.

    Right now I'm going to mount a Gear Sector hand stop, GS Offset light mount (with light), and Troy sling swivel. Eventually, I'm going to switch the light over to a Surefire M300.

    Thanks, I researched long and hard before making my choice.

    Next AR build will be a 10.5 or 12.5 SBR with an Aimpoint T-1 to replace one of my Draco's as a bed rifle. Then I'll probably pick up a KAC SR-15 and throw a Short Dot on it, then one more 16" and go with with a TA33. Throw my Kalashnikovs into reserve.

    I really, really, want to go with a Suppressed SBR in .300 Blackout and then a .308 AR like an LMT, OBR, or SR-25

    Nice! I've got a Bcm middy upper on the way as well. It's used, and will most likely end up with a quad rail like yours.

    Did you have to wait long for yours? Seemed like most of their complete uppers were backordered last time I looked at their site.

    Sal, and I just ordered one that was in stock. They had it at my house 3 days later. You have to stalk their page and move when you see it.

    Almost done




    BCM 16" Middy upper
    LRB Arms Lower
    DD MPi FA BCG
    DD LPK
    Magpul ACS stock
    Magpul ASAP sling
    Millet DMS-1 in a SALT mount
    Magpul MIAD Grip
    Magpul Aluminum enhanced trigger guard

    Waiting on:
    Troy BUIS
    BFG VCAS sling
    Troy rail mounted sling mount
    GS Handstop
    GS offset light mount
    Life size Chris Costa cardboard cutout

    I will probably go for a Leup 1.5 MR/T Scope in a Larue Mount. Going to use the DMS-1 to help me decide if I want a 1x4 or an ACOG

    Not trashing, it's just not my first choice. I have one laying around unused so I've thrown it on there for now. Odds are after this I'll put it on a 5.45 AR and use it as a training analog. For what it is, the Millet is good. There are better options out there for not a whole lot more scratch.

    I would not say that it is a "trust my life" optic.

    HK style, non-trit, diopter rear.

    Rail covers I haven't decided on which yet, going to mess around with some.

    Back to the Millet; My primary complaints are this: 1) Super sensitive to eye relief (for me, at least). This makes it rather obnoxious for adjusting the LOP on the rifle. 2) Poor light gathering in twilight. It is really atrociously bad.

    Are you going to be able to shoot it soon? I am very interested in how that setup performs.
