    if you can find it, try to get the 6920 that already comes with magpul furniture. it will make mounting light and sling a bunch easier. though there are plenty of non-forearm options for mounts - that's a whole different rabbit hole.
    Yeah that's kind of my thought on the matter too. Its already done and complete, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a good other choice potentially.

    Yeah, I did notice that, but I found it for $200 less through another dealer. That said Grant still has the cheapest base 6920s I've seen offered anywhere.


    Regardless the ordering might be delayed as it looks like one of the guns I was hoping to sell to fund the project had its buyer drop out (after calling first, then offering a lower price, and then never responding to PMs (on a different site btw, don't think I can even post in the EE yet). The other one has had any takers yet.

    Have me in your prayers as I'm trying Armslist next.

    Still I'm optimistic I can move things along within the next two weeks before my Birthday.

    So time for an update.

    I picked up a Mega Arms Lower locally and a Magpul STR LPK from PSA. Well after doing a botched lower install (lesson here is you kind of really need a vise grip especially when left handed for driving in pins), a friend helped me fix it and well not make it dangerous (long story short I tried switching the selector switch to the other side).

    I then picked up a BCM 16 inch mid length upper after passing on the wait from PSA to ship (which to their credit the canceled and refunded with no issues) since BCM was super in stock and shipped right away.

    After selling some other stuff I was originally planning on getting an optic (or two stage trigger), but recently BCM lowers popped up again at Rainier Arms. So I sold my blem lower (fully disclosure to the buyer of course) I figured you know if I bothered for the high end upper, get a high end complete lower (assembled by someone other than me). So I'm going to pickup a BCM Complete Lower with M4 Stock. I also had a AIM surplus BCG on order. I figured I'll sell that (it's unused) and just get the BCM BCG and the Ambi Gunfighter Charging handle.

    While I'll have to pass on an optic for the moment, I figured having a good base Carbine was key. I can learn the platform and I won't have a frankenAR. In the end I could have just gotten a BCM, but there weren't mid length builds for sale and being able to spread it out made life a lot easier for me. I also picked up Magpul BUS and a Vertical Grip (for the Mid length hand guard)

    Actually all you need are the correct punches and a little understanding on how it's done. Vise grip stuff is for people that want to reinvent the wheel.

    I tried using a standard set from Amazon that was recommended to me....thank god for Amazon returns. Part of the problem was tools, but enough was just trying to told things in place. Ironically the takedown pin which is apparently a pain was easy. Also thank god for Brownells and the cheap replacement pins....I lost one down a drain...don't ask.

    I cannot state enough how much I regretted not having them.

    I'm not markm, but I do play him on TV.






    I'm willing to bet that is a hacked off carry handle. LMT makes a factory sight like that as well. Only gays buy it from the factory though, men hack off carry handles with their bare hands.

    I hope you're not in a hurry for a response. Mark hasn't been on M4C awhile now.

    It's a carry handle that he cut down a la the LMT. I have a similar one as well.
