    With the exception of those giant handguards and buffer (mine is H3), I have the same gun, Stag lower, BCM upper. Been my main civilian rifle for years, thousands of rounds fired. Other than some mag related issues a few years ago with dirty green follower GI mags no problems. Shoots Tula, Wolf, m193, m855, all my reloads with no issues. Now that I have a DD SBR it will probably get used a little less.

    I have a Stag lower that I SBRed a couple years ago and matched it with a LMT 10.5" upper. The Stag lower has functioned as it should. It also has a pretty good stock trigger. I would trade out the Cav Arms furniture and replace with Magpul MOE handguard and a Magpul CTR or STR if you need storage or the B5 Sopmod. The B5 Bravo does not have storage but can be had for less than $60 and is an excellent stock. I would get a stock with a QD attachment point this makes for more and easier optipond for attaching sling/. For sling it is hard to go wrong with a VCAS I have the padded model with the QDs sewn in that I got from Grant last year.


    As for light I would get a section of the Magpul rail, once I had the MOE handguard and get this attachment. Very sturdy, inexpensive and easily accessible

    Like everyone says, the lower is fine. Personally, i prefer the moe handguard to the standard m4 ones. I recently got to shoot both on friends' carbines And the moe felt much better, ergonomically speaking. As for your optic, I would go and get a mount for that aimpoint you already have. Lastly, since you're switching out the whole RE set, you might want to look at just getting an A5.

    Stop looking at the picture threads and spend that money on a good optic and ammo and ammo and some more ammo. (also I do think a moe handguard would be helpful for you.

    Ya I thought the same thing, but that 55 gallon drum he has doesn't effect function, if the OP likes it then why not keep it? Although looking at it did give me a good laugh this morning.

    It doesn't feel that bad! Really! I also already have a spare Viking Tactics light mount laying around. I like the one I have on my "other" rifle with it mounted at 12:00 and I activate the switch with my offhand thumb. The only thing about the MOE is that you do not seem to be able to attach a section of rail at the 12:00 position so that I can run that light mount the way I am accustomed to. Please correct me if I'm mistaken there. If you can mount the factory short rail section there, that would be great.

    I'm considering this mount: mount as it approximates the position of the light and mount combo I'm currently using.

    Again, thanks for the constructive feedback. I'm off to get a mil-spec RE and an H buffer ordered so I can get this thing running.

    Stag lowers and LPK are fine, with the LPK being better than many others. Shoot the gun.
