New Rifle Build Plans

[BallisticHarmony]

I think I’m finally finished laying out the plans for the next rifle setup. This will fill the roles of home defense, hunting, night shooting, and extended range plinking. Probably gonna take a carbine course or 3 as well. Basically I want a two-tone black and tan do-it-all gun. Some of these items have waiting periods so it’ll take a while, but I think it’ll be worth it.

Knight’s SR-15 14.5” Mod 2 MLOK Upper Black
Radian AX556 Lower Black
Geissele SSA-E
BH 50 TSX for HD
Barnes 70 Vor-TX for hunting
BH 77 TMK for pushing the envelope
Mapgul Bipod FDE when running TMK
NF NX8 1-8x24
Scalarworks LEAP/Scope Mount
MOE SL Stock FDE
MOE-K2+ Grip FDE
SF M600DF Desert Tan at 10:30 with Arisaka Inline Scout Mount FDE
MAWL-C1+ Tan
Gen 3 PMAGs FDE
Knight’s QDC CQB FDE
Radian Raptor-SD Charging Handle

Any thoughts are much appreciated. I think that fully loaded this thing will weigh around 9-10 pounds, does that sound accurate? If so, is that too heavy?

Too heavy is relative to you and your use. But that looks like a really solid setup. Why not go with a Knight’s lower?

Radian’s lower has a special feature where the bolt can be locked to the rear simply by pulling the charging handle while depressing the magazine release.

If you want that option, I have a Boonie Packer redi-catch installed on my SR-15 and BCM that does the same thing, but costs $40. It's very simple and well built, too.

So if we weed out the fantasy list, you want a KAC upper on a Radian lower with G trigger?

Its fine if that is what you actually want.

I had two thoughts.

1. If this is a “next rifle build,” is it really going to be his (or her) do-it-all gun?

2. $$$.

1. Yes, this is taking over all long gun responsibilities.
2. I’d rather spend the money here than elsewhere, different strokes.

[JediGuy]

No judgement. If 1. is true, then 2. makes sense.
I think that lower is hard to beat, unless someone insists on forged.

Thoughts? You just listed top quality stuff, so not sure what your looking for.

Grips, stocks, mags are all preference/disposable items so I wont comment on those.
Same with ammo.

Your upper/lower combo sounds inspired by Garand_Thumb Instagram.

It’ll do the job.
