Congrats on the purchase! Looks like a nice rig!

Smokin! Well done

Thanks,

It's just a cheap way for me to get my foot in the door as far as AR's go, if I really like it I should have a better idea what I'm looking for when I drop some real change on a rig.

Curious. How tight is the marriage between upper and lower?

It's a great fit you wouldn't know they weren't from the same manufacturer.

Congratulations Shep! Nice looking set-up. Have you fired it yet? If not I am betting you can't wait!

Nope just got it in the mail today, hopefully I can get out to the range this weekend and get the red dot sighted in and see how she shoots.

Cool looking, i got to get me another AR, should have never sold the one i had.

That's pretty tight. I like it

Good for you! Now go out and shoot the supreme sheet out of it.

Looks great! Welcome to the world of AR "accessorizing".

It was $950 plus tax however I believe they are sold out of the unbranded uppers.

Just got back from the range, the rifle functioned flawlessly, the 10 rounders had zero issues.

The red dot sight was perfect, had it zero'd perfectly with only two adjustments and so far has held zero perfectly.

Good to hear that the lucid performed well.
As we are the distribitor for Lucid products, we did our own testing and it performed very well on our shop rem 700 in 308, shorty M14 and of course my custome built 8" rem 870!
One shot tactical Firearms trainer Earl G is doing testing and a review of the lucid at the moment, should be a good read when ready.

It is IMO the best bang for your buck as far as red dots are concerned, IMO it has the quality of an eotech just not the proven reliability (yet).
