What $1350 gets you... (my ideal carbine)

[SpookyPistolero]

Finally got an opportunity to build my 'ideal' social carbine. This will be my go to for all training and 'uh oh' moments. It is finished. The real kicker, to me, is the net price.

-Daniel Defense Upper/lower/LPK with middy DD lightweight barrel, magpul grip & stock, and DD OmegaX 12": $815 (not fired)
- Magpul ASAP plate and BAD lever: Already owned, but ~$45
- Magpul trigger guard: $16
- Magpul BUIS set: $80
- TLR1s: $100
- Aimpoint R-1 (unused) with DD mount: $400
- Troy TRX Extreme 13": $150
- Sale of DD Omega rail: ~minus $250
Total: $1350









Now I just need to shoot the hell out of it until my arms go numb. I plan to do this by attending a couple of nearby classes that I just found out existed, and by getting use of a private shooting area that will be available soon.

Once I turn my M&P9 into a G17, I'll be totally done. No more purchases needed. I've already got some good kydex on the way for the G17.

I'll get some more pics when the rifle is dirty...

is the tlr 1 in the way of the sights?

[SpookyPistolero]

No. When deployed, they *just* clear the light.

very cool build.

Where did you get basically the whole rifle for $815? The best I've seen is above $1300.

Patience and lurking. Lots of lurking.

Looks really light. Nice build! Is the M&P for sale?

Thanks much! It's quite light now, handles like a sports care. The M&P is indeed for sale, in our classifieds here. Trying to keep it local for now, to skip FFL and shipping fees.

You mean from marketplace private deals or Black Friday type sales?

Looks like a nice rail system.

How do you like the weight, compared to a standard quad-rail set up?

I have been contemplating putting something similar on one of my next builds, but since weight and swing is a big issue for me, I haven't bought one yet...
