Well as I sit at revision infinity of my primary long gun, I am fairly confident that this is it - or as near to it as is really worth it for me.

I'm still planning on swapping the redi-mag for the Blue Force Gear skeletonized version - as I like the weight savings - and I like the other features of it (bolt hold open button - and paddle mag release). But BFG won't ship to Iraq, and I forgot to toss one in my bag on the flight out of Boston yesterday (wife's original home - dont worry I did not move to Mass.)
I found a place here than can pin and fit the KAC gas block so a new barrel is enroute - but other than that I am pretty much done.
I waffled on putting the Attila on versus the PEQ-2A, but I am holding out for a PEQ-15 so...

Cans -- well not right now - I had two HALO's fro this and my shorty - but they went to people who need them more than I.
Basic Spec's
KAC SR16 upper w/ URXII
Barrel - 16" Midlenght Douglas (SPR Countour) Wylde Chamber
KAC QD FH
KAC Flip Front sight Gas Block w/ Big Dot tritium dot post.
SF Scout Light and Larue Mount
Larue Vert grip
S&B Short Dot in Larue Mount - not quote as fast as an Aimpoint - but better tgt detection and descrimination and BDC cam for longer work.
KAC 600m BIS with 300m large aperature
PRI GasBuster
Redi-Mag Gen II
Magpul PMAGs (of course)
Magpul Trigger Guard
KNS pins (call me paranoid)
MIAD with small grip - WAY too many people put the big grips on and cannot effectively manipulate the safety.
Magpul UBR
BFG Vickers Sling
DD front rail sling plate.
I've dicked with the PEQ switch so often - but as I really like the paddle from the Attila - I decided to opt with the higher position on the rail - and it works for my current fav thumb position --- and when I drop the vert grip for some stuff I dont need to frig with the tape.
Is it heavy - yeah - I dont get out much these days so that is less of a worry for me - and it makes me go to the MWR gym...
Since I am back to a Glock (against my wishes) from a 1911 I have extra time to screw with my carbines - but this has been a while coming and I am very happy.

More pics to follow - assbandwidth

What barrel are you switching to?

My guess will be Noveske N4 Recce.

Peq 2A, god are those things bulky. Have you had a chance to play with the D-Bal? Got to play with a MOLAD a few years back and it strikes me as a excellent light and laser set up, had to give it back though.

Awesome rifle Kev, I bow down to your gear contacts and disposable income.
 
Barrel has damn near 18k thru it -- in truth it may be a bit more - some range days - where an 'ish' as I did not always count reloaded mags. Its opened up but not by much.

D-BAL's got pulled by the US Amy - which has gone PEQ-2A/B and PEQ-15 entilrely now -- I have not been impressed with the DBAL's and would rather an IPIM or PEQ-15.

Heck I've seen better days...

Can you write these things off as work expenses? :confused:
 
Hey Kevin, what do you think the UBR gives that your old CTR didnt? You like the added weight, of you like the storeage box?
