    These guys give great advice. Make sure that if you change something, it's going to do what you need it to do. There is no sense in changing parts just to change them. That gets expensive!

    Good luck, NYH1.

    I also have an LE6920 and I'd go with a few effective, easier and cheaper modifications. Magpul enhanced trigger guard ($15), magpul hanguard ($30), MVG vertical grip ($20?) and a surefire or streamlight setup around $150ish. All you'd need is a roll punch, Allen wrench and your hands. I love the irons. I don't recommend the magpul rear sight though but that's just me. But it's your money so do what you wish.

    Is this TOS or M4C? Shoot it to figure out what you need.

    It's ok to make changes, but I'd council to not get in a rush. Take your time, decide on a final vision, gather tools, gather parts, view tutorials, and think it all through. Ask questions. Take your time.

    Buy ammo. Shoot the heck out of your rifle, and go from there. I'd rather have a big block under the hood and rust on the fenders than a shiny paint job and a 6 cylinder under the hood. Performance first, looks later.

    But mostly, shoot and enjoy.

    Don't forget the training/know how to drive part of that analogy.

    The noob will just wrap his big block around a tree while the guy who put his money into advanced driving classes in track conditions will take his half-as-much-power 6 cylinder and smile ear to ear as he turns on his hazards in victory

    To make your new gun FABULOUS....you must accessorize.

    Don't encourage him to kill his lower. Unless you shoot with heavy gloves all the time I fail to see what a Magpul trigger guard is gonna enhance.

    Your 6920 already has a front sling mount. If you have the Rogers stock, you already have a good stock with a QD socket. Go to blueforcegear.com and buy a VCAS sling and one QD swivel. Sling? Check.

    Go to azarmament.com or gandrtactical.com and get an Aimpoint PRO and a Magpul back up sight.

    Then try to find some ammo.

    If you wanna swap grips... Pay close attention to how much torque is required to remove the screw that holds the grip. Then think about that when you put the new grip on!

    I think that shooting with heavy gloves, ever, would mean there is a benefit to the magpul trigger guard.

    One benefit is that it fills the gap. That gap drives some of us crazy, and tears our finger apart. Of course, you can always just put the gapper in there. I would do one or the other for sure on every applicable rifle, every time, personally

    He may or may not be satisfied/well served by mounting the sling on the stock and up at the FSB sling swivel. But he's have to get out and shoot to figure that out, right?

    Also, the 6920 usually comes with one QD swivel, correct? If using the FSB sling swivel you wouldn't even have to buy a QD swivel thing.

    How does it kill the lower? I don't use heavy gloves but the extra room feels a lot more comfortable.

    I have a question as far as this goes as well, better to ask in here than start a new post... I was a fairly competent mechanic before I became an EMT assuming I can stumble across all the barrel nut torque specs and I already bought a vice block dpms multi tool front site base block
    how difficult of a change over would it be to put a 15'' nsr on this thing I have a 6920 as well? Is it simply as easy as punching out the gas pin front sire post pins removing the barrel nut, taking my barrel to adco (local to me ) have them pin the low pro gas block. I feel confident up to this point for sure... But re-installation is where I hear problems come in from head spacing... Is this something that can be done with out the proper feeler guages with the factory barrel easily?
