    I know nothing about them, but really want to build one to play with. I was looking at the S&W lowers they had on sale. I was thinking of something like a 223 but prefer a 308. I was also looking at a 204 barrel. I love your setup. It looks sweet. What is the scope??? Oakie

    The scope is a Center Point multi-reticle red/green dot. Fairly cheap at WalMart, but I read the reviews and just couldn't find enough bad to sway me from at least trying it. It's no Aimpoint, but it doesn't have an Aimpoint price tag either.

    Believe me I totally understand. I've got like 10 AR's and only one has regular hand guards and they are triangle shaped.[;)]

    Wartiger, nicely done...
    You mentioned adding BUIS sights. Where will you place them?[?]

    I like everything except the single point sling idea.

    I've built all my from parts. It is a lot of fun. I got a chance to tour the Tapco facility this week, looks like they have a nice selection of accessories.

    New gas block or extended quad rail to give me a same plane line of sight as the top rail on the gun and then co-witness with the red dot. Or the 45 degree off-set sights from XS. I'll probably just replace the gas block though, it'll be easier and cheaper in the long run.

    Looks good. I am building my first as well. How do you like the grip pod?

    I personally love it. Light weight and functional and when shooting from a bench or prone, it provides the perfect height, for me anyways.
