He may not be deploying to a combat zone in which prolonged exposure and abuse will be applied to his rifle, but in a situation where he needed to employ it,(he said patrol rifle) it would more than likely be a high adrenaline situation and I don't not want a plastic lower receiver on a rifle that my life depends on.
I agree that the 60round mag could be a problem. Id like to have a second 30 just in case the first mag in has some kind of failure.
At least you have another mag ready to go.
Ive seen unconventional methods of mag carriers being attached to stocks. If you swap out your stock to something like an MOE and drop the redimag for a stock mounted carrier, it wont be as fast but at least its on board.
**disclaimer** iv never used a stock mounted carrier so if their trash I have no idea.
Obvious there's your light and VFG and others have added input on that so I wont.
Along the lines of my first post, Midway is having a sale on Aimpoint T1s on Thursday for $500. that would cut weight as well as the weight of additional batteries.
Someone else already mention your sling as an instigator, I agree. Iv had light weight rifles feel like 240s after a few hours because the sling sucked. I still haven't found my soul mate in sling options so I cant recommend you anything.
