M&P15 - What Would You Do Differently?

[BadShot]

John, the only three things I'd do to that rifle are:

1. Get a rear BUIS
2. Lose the Riser
3. Get a light and light mount (you'll need a side picatinny rail)

If you're going to get another, the piston route is a good one. Alternately you get get something with a longer barrel and set it up as an intermediate range support rifle. Come on by the house and you can see most of what these guys are talking about except the can.. that's something for next year!!! Add to that I'm going to have a CTR stock that I might be selling here soon.

Fast forward below clip to 2:16 to see some trigger action.

Nice! Just might have to do that... Hmmm...

Right on - I'll have to take you up on that. That skyscraper of a riser is a result of not being able to get the EoTech zeroed just sitting on top of the receiver.

Ah... much better...



I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet, but it "points" much better for me.

[BadShot]

I know these kinds of things are preferences.. but why did you go with the AP on the carry handle instead of getting a cantilever mount for it? Puts the optic closer to the bore and allows for a lower 3rd co-witness. Hell I think I have a mount that you can have if for nothing else than trying it out. If you're going to be around, you should swing up to the house next Saturday

The handle is OEM, and the sight came with a mount for it - plus, it just seems to fit me better (I'm not as flexible as I used to be).

Give me a call this week.

Chop the carry handle, I have an Aimpoint QRP that'll line it up perfectly. It'll only cost you a trip up to Thornton; think I paid close to $90 for it. It's the same exact mount on my colt you see there.

[BadShot]

Yeah I'll give you a ring later this week. We're building up stock holster bodies this week and weekend so hopefully we can get some consignment stuff going. Plus I've got your stock and QD sling mount sitting on the bench waiting for ya.

That's a very generous offer - thank you very much! I may have to take you up on that depending on how my set up works for me when I can finally get to the range.

Right on, man.

[argonstrom]

It's an Aimpoint CompML3.
