V.1 & V.2 of my 14.5"s
The evolved V.2 kept many of the same things, but significantly upgraded things at the expense of adding a bit over a .5lb to the end product. I hope my new V.2 turns like V.1 which to date has over 4k rounds through it without a single failure of any kind. V.1 was significantly more KISS with the 300m micro rear sight, Mk4 proto, DD mid pencil barrel, and M300 scout. V.2 in theory should be way more bombproof being a MRP, and more reliable using an E carrier setup, and MRP profile carbine gas 14.5". WL effectiveness, and optic capability took huge strides forward on the V.2. The 1000lumens, and 2MOA/significantly reduced parallax were the most immediate, and noticeable improvements over their predecessors the T-1 4MOA/M300 old scout. Adding a full 600m adjustable rear sight vs. a fixed 300m sight on V.1 is another noticeable gain in capability.
I also made a conscience effort now with this build, and ones going forward to limit as much gas in the face as possible being a lefty especially. So V.2 got the ACH and the E carrier to specifically help address that aspect, whereas V.1 used a BCM standard CH & BCM BCG. We'll see as time goes on. I knew there was a reason why I didn't get an ACH before, and it's because once you do they kinda of ruin you to not having one. Triggers are the same I've found. V.1 still has Ferrari style controls with the SD-3G, FCD bolt catch/mag catch upgrades, and a BAD-ASS 45 throw. V.2 is an unmolested KAC OEM IWS lower outside of MOE + which are perfection imho. I miss the SD style trigger, and BAD-ASS 45 throw....but I like KAC's OEM config. enough due to the trigger feeling more like an SSA-E vs SSA, a super crisp ambi selector, and newer endplate with QD sockets design vs integral ones in the lower on the gen 1 IWS lowers.
Might get an UE tailcap to run a SR07 switch in the future, as well as buying a Super 42 kit. Outside of those two things, I intend to lock this one down. I figured I'd share some of my thoughts on the pic posted
