I decided that it was time to do a new build. Looks like I'm going with an Aero lower and upper to get it started. I'm going with the Faxon flame fluted 5.56 16" barrel, centurion quad rails (I'm old skool, lol), troy industry front and rear sights, ambi safety, ambi charge handle, BAD Lever, Hogue grip, Hyper trigger 24C, nickel boron bcg and Magpul ACS stock. I will also have a BCM Mod Comp 1, on it. What's everyone's take, on this?

I like quad rails too. I would consider looking at an np3 coated bcg over the nickel boron.

If you're asking for personal opinions, I for sure like all the stuff in bold. I don't care for the BAD. The Hogue grip depending on which one, may be okay but if it's one of those G10 grips, I don't much care for them. I've fired a Hyperfire trigger and really liked it. (Not the 24C though so I can't comment on that exact one.) NiB BCGs I don't care for. Sionics NP3 would be a much better choice IMO.

That said, It doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks. Your build is all about you and what you want. Get what you want - but don't say we didn't tell you so. ;)

I will look into the NP3. I can always modify it.

I got 24Cs in all of my AR platforms. Just an amazing trigger, very crisp, fully adjustable...A+ product.

I sold my M&P15T, I had the model when they used Troy Industries quad rails but they stopped. I liked the platform and accuracy it offered so decided to build similar yet upgrade the platform some.

NP3 is far superior to NiB. If I wasn't going to use NP3, I would stick with a quality standard parkerized MILSPEC BCG.

How are the Mod 1 comps. I have seen good reviews?

Yes, I think it's an awesome trigger also.

I have a 1.5" Mod1. I don't have much to compare it to other than a Battlecomp and regular A2's. It's no louder than either of those and muzzle rise/follow up shots are the same as with the Battlecomp.

Good barrel choice. :D

Thanks and I will. I'm looking forward to this build.

Oh ok, how long have you been using yours?

I'm going to need a red dot for this as well as a scope so I can switch them out depending on use. I would like to have a two in one type deal for CQB and some 200 yard shots for hunting. I plan on another build in the future in .308 and will do away with scope, on 5.56.

Great choice on the rail too. When you have to have a quad rail, the C4 is top of the heap.

If you train operating and shooting from your left shoulder, since you're getting an ambidextrous charging handle, if your upper has a forward assist, you might consider replacing it with a rimless forward assist (LDFA) ;)

Your absolutely right. I'll check into that.

Please God not another BAD lever. I would actually be in favor of congress banning these...
I fired one of the Hyperfire triggers on a BPM 3gun setup a couple years ago and it felt pretty good. However I just can't get myself to trust that design. I have absolutely zero scientific research or quantifiable data to support my opinion, but the fact remains I just don't trust it from a durability standpoint. But for a range toy...have at it!

Thanks for your opinion about the BAD Lever. There's a lot of stuff that's made that I don't personally use, as well.
