I know shaving the site works and is mechanically sound.... but why chop on a nice colt Complete?
I mean... you could almost sell the Colt upper half as is and buy two BCMs.... or a BCM and a Rail system.

Dang, how much are people selling these things for? Mine was only about $150 over what Grant gets for the cheapest BCM rifle.
I suppose with the low-pro block you can at least take it back to original with all its original parts if you wanted. On the other hand, a Colt pencil barrel FSB probably isn't that hard to come by, either.
Light, optic, sling, "bullets", mags, BUIS.
Done.
Well, kinda...I want a different sling and a Mount-N-Slot light mount, but basically it's good to go.

IF this gent acquired his Diemaco from the same place I did mine, he paid $700 for a complete kit (sans lower) with carry handle.
Here's a complete upper for under $800 (not so amazing):

The deals are out there, you just have to keep your eyes peeled. I still wouldn't think twice about shaving one, if that's the route I chose to take.
Yep. Troy Alpha. I've preferred the feel of the stock M4 handguards for a long time, but I liked the weight, feel, and attachment mechanism of the Alpha. Not too expensive, either. I expect the VTAC rail is similar.
I wanted to stay on the path of KISS, but I can say that all the extra stuff has a purpose. The MIAD gives me storage, trigger guard gives me less blisters, and the rail gives me easier attachment for stuff. I'm leaving the stock because it's lighter than some of the others, possibly stronger, and it's got a sling attachment point.
