My Semi Custom Build.

[Delta_co]

I started years ago with a bone stock Bushmaster A2 16" HBAR. It had no muzzle device and a rigid stock. I slowly began building it to my liking until there was nothing except the Lower Receiver which was original. Here is my current setup.

BM XM15E2S Lower
Model 1 Sales A3 Upper
BM 14.5" M4 Barrel w/ extended A2 Flash Hider
Magpul MOE Stock
MI Rail
Magpul AFG2
Magpul XTM Panels
Magpul MBUS Rear Sight
Magpul ASAP sling attachment
Aimpoint ML2

That's the way to do it IMO. Get one and shoot it until you find out what you want on there.

Why did you choose the parts you did?

How exactly are you activating that light with that AFG in place? I have found the AFG to be of limited use, solely for teaching a gripping technique, then they end up removed from rifles. Also, why carbine length handguards? You may want to consider extending that light forward, off of the grip with a Thorntail or similar. Sliding the AFG forward will also give you a more natural grip on the handguard.

With the light and AFG in the places they are my left hand is in position where a simple flip of my thumb will activate either the momentary or a full push will turn on the light. I chose carbine length rails because of a few reasons.

A. I had them laying around
B. I wanted to keep the FSB
C. The feel works well for me.

I had a KAC VFG before switching to the AFG and I found the AFG to be more comfortable. So it's mainly personal preference.

Looks like a good set up, I like it.

Stop wasting money on accessories and get a decent gun is my opinion. Something that does not have DPMS, Bushmaster, Rock River, Delton, CMMG, etc in the name. Your optic is worth more than the weapon it's on -- that speaks volumes.

If you can afford an Aimpoint, surely you can afford a better weapon. Seriously? An Aimpoint on a Bushmaster? I just don't get that train of thought... my 2 cents...

I am very curious about something. How much did you pay for the BM barrel and the Model 1 sales upper? Please be honest.

It goes bang every time I pull the trigger. What more do I need? Not to mention Colt and BM both use Cardinal Forge among others for their receivers. Also a new LE6920 is $1179 at impactguns. A Bushmaster M4 Patrolman is $1069, also at impactguns. So I would call that the price of 2 Aimpoints for either weapon. Not to mention both have seen combat.

$99 for the upper.
$205 for the barrel

Sold original HBAR for $150 and the A2 upper for $75. So total net cost was $79

I understand. I ask because the barrel and upper not of quality and isn't something that I would purchase. For a little more you could have purchased a complete BCM upper receiver group.
