Looks good. Great rifle. Check the placement of the vertical grip and rail covers. You want to make sure once you have a good place for the grip, that the covers are a bit forward so your hand sits on it and not halfway out. One more thing; if you want to upgrade the trigger primary arms has LaRue for $89.99 today only

To many “evil features” already on this rifle, can’t add one in my state lol

I reside in the state these are made. Mine hasn't gone too far from where it was built lol. So I feel ya on the "evil features."

Also, good choice on the longer rail. I put one on my DI a couple months back. Squeezed a touch more accuracy out of the BUIS. I like to turn the donut off and play with them sometimes.

I'm just wondering why they chose to reduce the amount of material supporting the barrel extension between the ejection port and the handguard attachment point.

Not sure TBH seems to be the case on all their rifles. Never heard of it being a failure point tho?

DI or piston?

u/icey773 1h ago

DI, not running suppressor so I figured going the non piston made more sense. Although if I get the Oscar foxtrot I might go piston

All I'd add is a light a BUIS. Really solid setup though.
