    Lol@Bbossman splitting hairs.

    I forgot, BCM/other tac latch/charging handle.
    At the risk of adding a little weight, a Redimag? Especially for a "truck gun". I like the idea of having a spare mag at hand w/out worrying about its location.

    I dont know the weight it would add but looks to me it would be pretty much center/balance.

    And in today's world... it's sobering to look what ground is left in front of it*

    It doesn't involve slinging until you wake up in a fog, grab your rifle, start clearing your house and end up within arms reach of an intruder (usually multiple), which turns into a fight/scramble for control of the weapon...much harder to take when it's on a sling. Of course it's true that these type of high intensity "HD" situations are not common, but the fact is it doesn't happen until it happens; and when it does happen, there's pretty much zero difference between "HD" and mil/LE urban ops/room clearing, except you don't have a partner or team with you. All the more reason to retain control of your weapon with a sling...

    One more add to the list...although not attached to the rifle, but certainly part of the process...QUALITY TRAINING.

    This will about cover it for a gun to be used for HD and just as an all around gun for a non-LEO.

    I might consider adding a MagPul grip, hand guard and stock (I've become fond of the MagPul MOE SL stock). Even if you opt to add the afore mentioned MagPul furniture, you're not adding much weight to the gun, and you're not dumping a tone of money either.

    Colt 6720?

    Looking at it on my phone so it's hard to tell exactly.

    Definitely get a light, pmag and some training!

    Most on this forum don't hang nc star laser or bipods on their hd rifle like 'other' places on the net. I guess it really matters what you think excessive is.

    Nice. The rear sight is installed correctly so you're off to a good start . Now estimate how many Pmags you think you need and buy twice that many (you can always sell extras to TOS-ers when the next panic hits). Then buy 3x the ammo you think you should have.

    Just don't do this http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/4...ge=94#i4758459

    or this http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/4...ge=96#i4771561

    And please think twice before attempting to polish the FCG yourself...
