    YFZ, I've had that exact RUC config for about six months now. You'll love it. Plenty of SWAT operators running BCs. The DD lightweight profile barrel is plenty accurate; I really don't think you're gaining much with the GI spec bbl. I believe the barrel profiles underneath the rail are identical. The GI profile may have more worth for those planning on running a can (barrel whip?)

    I ordered mine before the Geissele promo ran dry, love the G2S trigger...wish it were available on the open market...

    Plus, the rifle just looks that much sexier (which we know is the most critical variable in measuring ARs) with the muzzle device tucked close to the rail on the 14.5...and the "limitations" of the pinned BC, which won't really be an issue in a civilian context, give you an excuse to build a sneaky Rainier Ultramatch "DMR" upper down the road, with a 51T or Smith Vortex, and eventually throw it on your second Rainier lower.... ;-)

    All roads lead to $1500. - Me, with regards to AR system builds, whether homebrew or off-the-shelf.

    I just picked it up today, and man is it sweet feeling! So light!

    The trigger feels great, makes me glad I didnt spend the extra cash for the SSA. Im gonna try to get out in the Morning tomorrow and put half a case through it. Rainier really did an awesome job, fit and finish is excellent!

    Glad my advice panned out for you...it's easy to see why Geissele pulled the G2S/OEM trigger from the open market, with it being sixty-eighty bucks cheaper than the SSA...

    Kind of freaky how well it balances. It makes me want to kick a few of my other carbines....

    I'm in a bit of a conundrum currently with my RUC.

    I picked up another M600C after I decided I'd rather move the X300 I had at 12 o'clock at the forward end of the Evo rail to my G17. I had moved the factory Diamondhead front BUIS far enough aft of the X300 for my support hand to easily adopt a thumb over bore grip behind the X300. I'd prefer to run the front sight at the forward end of the rail, but need to find a mount for the Scout (M600) that will clear the Diamondhead.

    I removed the Thorntail SBR/Scout combo I've had on my NSR railed Noveske to test fitment, and discovered that it won't clear the release button on the front sight.

    Do the Dropwing and Gear Sector mounts allow for adequate clearance when paired with an M600C, and the Diamondhead BUIS? I'd rather sling any mounting solution off of the 12 o'clock rail, and keep the sides of the forend free of rail panels.

    If I have to change sights, I will; I've considered running the DD fixed front sight behind the X300, but I think that will screw with my grip/interfere with thumb placement. I could always go with another set of Troy sights, or even an MBUS pair...

    Anyone have experience with this particular issue?

    Looks like the Gear Sector model will off the side, I haven't tried it off the top rail.

    Thanks for the input. I'm leaning more and more towards just swapping to Troys, since they're a known quantity (the Thorntail/M600 will clear the front sight) and while I don't have any problems with the Diamondhead flip-ups, Troys will work fine.

    Well I picked up my RUC a few weeks ago, and just ow got around to taking a couple pics. The only thing I ended up changing about the rifle, was having a Battle Comp pinned on instead of the Rainier XTC brake.

    Thanks for all the input guys, and sorry for the fuzzy pics, I'm pretty sure I scratched the lens on my cheapo camera
