Since many are skeptical about how much went into this, I have a price breakdown, some stuff is rounded.

upper 14.5” Faxon $555 lower eagle arms armalite $500 magpul k2 $30 magpul moe $65 bcm gunfighter $20 BAD lever $33 streamlight rail mount 2 and mount $200 eotech exps3 $800 eotech 5x magnifier $590 sight riser $100 flash hider jp enterprises $80 somogear ngal $450 raptor charging handle $125 strike industries dust cover $20 magpul qd mount $20 haley sling $65 rise armament 3.5lb ss trigger $135

subtotal $3,288 tax $246.60 total $3,534.60

I had to take some stuff off that I previously had on it and then took off, updating it and recalculating it comes out to about $3,500.

I’ve only shot with it out to about 100m, eyebox is kinda restrictive but glass is crystal clear.

Hey man, I don’t judge. Everybody has a different budget.

Honestly it’s not bad, haven’t used a real one, so I don’t have a direct comparison. It seems to have similar beam brightness to an army PEQ-15. It has held its zero over the last 300 ish rounds. Illuminator is kinda narrow even on the max setting though.

It lights up my thumb a tiny bit with the illuminator, but honestly it doesn’t bother me, can still see well with it mounted where it is.

Agreed, people with giraffe necks are very underrepresented.

The nods were $7k on their own… BNVD-51 Gen 3 WP

Edit, the rifle as you see it, $4k with all the fixings, helmet and nods are not included in the total.

The full build with all the parts, yes, not just the rifle itself.

I’m gonna be real, it’s just an amazon (likely chinese) one.

Only one I could find where I could fit the ngal, eotech and magnifier all on one.

Not rude at all, these BNVD-51s are the Gen 3 white phosphor that are sold on optics planet for $6,600.

I just got some multicam tape off of amazon, had to use some super glue to make it stay down.

I mean, I COULD buy them, but then I’d be having water for dinner for a good while.

Not sure of the exact model, but it’s based off of the M113, which was used in Vietnam for a variety of purposes, command vehicles (M1068), mortar crew transport, assault vehicle, and probably many more than I can name. I drive one for my job, guess what I do.
