Want something different? Substitute a 1-4 or 1-6 optic in place of the RDS. Want to splurge? Buy a suppressor, set up a trust. In any event, go buy another 2,000-3,000 rounds while the buying is good.
Who am I? Just a guy like you, except I have multiple AR's, each different from the other. I am (slowly) learning to follow my own advise...
Pretty much this.
P.M.A.G.: Parts, Mags, Ammo, Guns
Go get a 2nd 6920. Other brands may be slightly better in some areas, but probably not enough to justify the extra cost unless you want something specific they offer, or planned modifications to your 6920 would cost more than just buying a rifle factory configured.
Then with the money you just saved on all the fancy stuff, start upping your collection of mags, spare parts, and ammo. Unless you find a good deal on your optic of choice, then of course get that.
Think of it this way- when the next wave of full metal retard hits (and it will), all those things will disappear quick. Optics, maybe to a point depending on type. Rails, grips, stocks, slings, lights.... those will stick around for a while. Don't worry about tricking anything out yet, make this milestone event work for you by setting yourself up for success (or at least, less pain) later.
Or failing that, if you're not sure exactly which direction you want to go up top, at least buy a second lower, given that's the actual "gun" part of the rifle.
