    There's pros and cons to each, but I've got to agree with the majority here. Snag the Aimpoint first. In my opinion it's better to have a completed setup before moving on to the next.

    Given what we've just gone through, if there's something you need to make a complete firearm, that should be the priority.
    The EXACT same thing happened to me when I went to order a BCM lower from him. Luckily he had blems in stock and I can't find the blemish.

    As for the OP, I would get spare parts for your current rifle, then the Aimpoint, then work on another rifle.

    I vote get the upper. The gun you have now is perfectly functional the way it is. Another month or two and you may not be able to find that upper at twice the price.

    If your using a backup sight as your main sights you need a real optic. If aim point is what you want that's what you need to get.

    No you don't. BUIS have replaced the carry handle and are just fine.

    Personaly, if you are so strapped for cash and don't have many guns, Skip the aimpoint and get something cheaper.

    Bushnell TRS-25 or a PA microdot if you NEED a dot.
    AP are barley worth half of what they sell for, and that's only when someone else is buying (gov or mil).

    For the same or less money than a T1. the EXPS is a superior optic anyway.

    I guess im not in the buy a $1200 dollar rifle and put a $50 dollar optic on it club.

    IMO the optics should be more important than the rifle. As long as the gun goes bang they all do the same thing, hitting the target is where the rubber meets the road.

    Those cheep magpul backups and many others block most of the target when your looking at them. They also arent very durable.

    IMO save up for what you want, nothings going to be banned and the prices get better everyday.

    People were pretty sure about that in 1994.
    Obviously the OP should assess his own needs when making this purchasing decision, and the current congressional climate makes new legislative restrictions unlikely. Pretending that there's no possibility of federal regulations impacting his ability to do so, however, would be to ignore history, both 19 years ago and 8 months ago.

    No doubt they will try again, but not for a while. I anything this has sold many guns and got the young people back into guns that otherwise might not have. IMO the ban attempt was a good thing. Except for New York and a few other places.
