    Concerning the KNS take down pins. I do not like them. When I first got into ARs seriously I did purchase a set. Quickly found out with an ambi-selector my thumb hits the take down pin protrusion and cannot reach the selector with support hand shooting. Completely blocks the natural movement.

    I'm with most of the other guys.

    Main critiques for me;

    - Sling is way to bulky for me. Sling choice should be directly impacted by intended use/application. If that particular model works for your given mission set, you're good to go.

    - This is more of a personal thing but the vertical grip, for me, defeats the best aspects of the TRX.

    Good build. Sign up for some classes, run it hard, and let us know what YOU would change.

    +1 with IG and I would dump the mini broomstick for a handstop or nothing at all.

    I can second that as I have the YH ez pull pins on mine with an ambi Battle Arms selector and unless you have their Crank lever it will be an issue.

    But an ST-T2 is a gimmick. Powered tungsten just doesn't do the job like a real buffer with solid weights.

    I was about to order a ST-S2 and I local gunsmith I know told me the same thing, it's a gimmick. I do like the looks of your AR.

    Personally, I'd ditch the sling, foregrip and KNS pins.
    Don't worry about ST-T2, you've already got it and if your rifle runs, it runs, the ST-T2 isn't going to hurt it.

    Ditch the sling for a standard VCAS or padded VCAS. Lose the EZ-pull YKM pins as well as the KNS pins.
