Everyone thinks “KISS” means “poor.” To me, it means, everything is done intentionally, for a purpose. We’ve all seen those guns that people slap together with lots of stuff that makes their inner GI Joe moron self feel hard, but is just for looks. That’s not simple, that’s stupid. Adding stuff that makes the tool more useful isn’t making it overly complicated.
My work gun has a sophisticated optic, free float rail, multiple light emitting devices that melt eyeballs with various wavelengths of energy, and of course a sling. To me it is simple. Everything is exactly where it should be for maximum efficiency and nothing is on the gun that doesn’t have to be. Everything enhances my abilities.
Without the proper forms for travel, the SBR is a non-starter for me.
I would:
chop the 6920 FSB (most robust and simple gas block there is)
Install a Geissele mk16 (anyone who has installed a GI barrel but knows it’s anything but simple. The G nut IS simple.)
Add at 600 series light for MORE power (it’s life saving gear, that rides in the trunk, weight?)
Add an aimpoint. They are bomb proof-ish and faster than irons, especially at night.
Add sling.
Keep spare batteries on or near the gun.
Now you have an efficient, more effective defensive carbine. That’s what I would do. I would also avoid throwing 75lbs stuff on it.
