I wanted to build a clean no frills suppressed upper so I put an AAC Ranger on a 10.5" barrel and covered it with a 12.0 Hogue Overmold FF Hand Guard. The rubber overmolding was needed to keep the heat down since the HG is not ventilated. I wanted the gas block to be pinned for security so I just chopped off the sight tower, sling swivel, & bayo lug and smoothed it out until I was able to slide the HG over it. Since this is a range toy and for the occasional tac class I went without BUIS. The Aimpoint probably will never crap out on me and with 5+ years of battery life, I should be good to go for those afternoons of picking off squirls.
