    Critique my rifle please.

    I want an honest critique of my rifle. I know some of the little accessories aren't needs. Some I just like. How solid does it look/sound? I tried to use top quality parts in all the right places. Has fired all different ammo fine (Tula, Wolf, PMC, M855, etc). It is for home defense so an Inforce WML is coming soon.
    Here are the specs:

    Lower:
    PSA stripped lower
    VLTOR Emod and buffer tube
    LWRC NiB FCG w/ JP red and yellow springs and KNS pins
    Spikes ST-T2 buffer and Daniel Defense carbine spring
    BAD-ASS selector
    Troy ambi mag release and ambi QD end plate
    YHM EZ pull pins
    BCM Gunfighter Mod 1 grip

    Upper:
    PSA M4 upper receiver
    PSA premium BCG (MPI/HPT)
    BCM CHF 14.5" mid barrel w/pinned Spikes Dynacomp and YHM gb
    Troy 13" Alpha rail and VFG
    Troy/Larue sights
    BCM Gunfighter charging handle
    Aimpoint Pro in ADM mount.

    Why the ambi QD endplate if you're not using it?

    Any flashlight in your future?

    With IG's points here. Other than that, looks gtg. Why that sling though?

    I've heard all the arguments against the KNS pins being something that just about nobody needs. (and tend to agree)
    I understand the H2 buffer.
    I've not heard anything bad about the "YHM EZ pull" takedown and pivot pins. Is it just a matter of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? or is there a specific "bad thing will happen" that goes along with them?

    I use regular pins myself, I'm just wondering.

    Thanks. Always looking to learn.

    KNS pins fix a non existent problem.

    Get rid of the ST-T2 buffer. Put a real buffer in. With a middy put in an H1 and you may get away with an H2 depending on which ammo you are running that day.

    Other than that its an ok build.

    What do you plan to use it for exactly?

    Thanks for the feedback. No it's not a beauty contest. I am looking for functional feedback. I've heard the pros/cons against the KNS pins. Why the doubt with the buffer Iraqgunz? Is it know to be an issue? Got the sling cheap, no other reason. I am looking at the Inforce WML at 12:00 for a light.

    Shoot the weapon. If the buffer works for you, don't change it. I am currently running the ST-T2 in a carbine and a middy with different springs. Both are sweet, soft shooting.
