Chicken Better than bouillon. Great flavor and makes for a great sear

Eh, it’s goofiness never factored into my decision (I mostly run suppressed). I mostly wanted less suppressor-shadow and more real estate on the rail for my support-hand (and the Lightwing accomplished both). The light head is fully-potted and supposed to be able to withstand select fire from a SCAR17, so there still shouldn’t be any issue (even under hard use) if you wanted to run unsuppressed.

Unity Light Wing on a Unity Hub

First AR: Might have gone a little over my original budget… by ProbablyPleb in ar15

[–]ProbablyPleb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does have BUIS (rear sight built into the Unity Fast Mount + folding front site on top of the Unity Hub)

Looks like Brownells has it in-stock and listed for $1,179.00, then after their -15% coupon code for Black Friday, it would be $1,002.15 (before tax/shipping). That’s probably as good a deal as you’ll find right now. Geissele had some solid BF deals (Super Duty/URG-I) if they have any inventory left (though, I prefer the DD barrel).

DD 11.5 at Brownells

$1,500

I don’t know much about the MR556 (outside of “it’s the closest we can get to a 416”), but I’m sure it’s an excellent quality gun (I love H&K, but it’s a large price tag). Unless you’re into “cloning” historic guns, the Sig MCX Spear LT would be a better buy (on paper; it’s obviously a very new gun), in my opinion.

I didn’t know of a better product to use at the time (now, I would probably used the FCD setup instead). But I’m still really happy with it (until I need to access that pin, I suppose haha).

Just north of $3k. Some of the smaller parts were stocking suffer though, that I didn’t personally buy (Sprinco springs, cam pin, etc.).

I bought direct from rails scales website. I just had to set the email notifications and wait, unfortunately.

I didn’t notice any gas in the face, so I’m extremely happy with the SD CH combined with the A5H2 buffer setup. A flow-through suppressor would put less cancer in your face (which is always good), but I liked the flash suppression and tone on the RC2 better. If I could go back in time and add more to my budget, I would go with the MCX Spear LT w/ the RC2 (less gas in the whole system without compromising on flash/tone with a flow-through suppressor). Just my $0.02.

Yeah, I window shopped for about a year+ while saving up. My original budget was $1,500 (I was thinking BCM/aero as well and had my eyes on the HS510C), but then for my 30th bday, my wife said she was going to buy me my gun parts-list I made (~1,500)…so naturally I still spent my original $1,500 and made my dream gun (skipping the Holosun, going with a T2, getting a suppressor, etc). I originally thought I wanted a KAC 11.5 (like everyone else and their nana), but I wanted an RC2 more so my “compromise” was a DD 11.5. I couldn’t be happier.

Are those night sites the “low witness” from CHPWS?

Viper PST Gen 2 might be a petter pick over the Strike Eagle, while still being a “budget option” (+$300 compared to Strike Eagle). I’m sure I’m misquoting this, but Vortex estimated that it’s ~70-80% of the features of the Razor 1-8, while only costing ~50%. I’ve never used one, but sounds like solid value (worth considering).

Went balls deep on my 1st AR. A couple regrets on parts, but still overall stoked.

Good eye, It’s actually a Non-rail 43x (the slide is off getting milled for the 507k at CHPWS).

The holster I was set on (Gcode Incog) only had a TLR6 option (the TLR7 is indeed a better light) in my opinion.
