I don't think any of these are in the same competition field as the FTU. Way different league.

Although expensive, the FTU does seem like the best option out there at the moment.

Given what people spend on rail systems designed for the AR15, it's reasonably priced for what it does. Doesn't need to be removed for cleaning, retains zero, and totally upgrades the usability of the platform.

looking to get the front handle
It does look pretty good now that it is actually finished.
How good is the cheek weld now? Do you get proper cheek weld, or is the optic still high enough that cheek weld is light or improper?
looking forward to how it holds zero, and also curious as to how long the install took.

With a low optic like the TRS-25, the cheekweld is perfect. I had to run the riser (above) before to get a good weld on the carry handle.
My install took a bit under an hour. A lot of that had to do with me cutting a fair ways above the cross braces on the sight posts. I wanted to be sure I wasn't too low. This resulted in a bunch of filing and sanding to get the posts flush with the horizontal cross-braces. I also had to paint in my garage which was about 1 degree C, used a hair dryer to speed up the paint drying - I'd recommend doing the cutting and painting beforehand and just letting it dry overnight. I was not patient enough to do this

I have some design ideas, unfortunately I don't have the resources to build a prototype at the moment. But I am working on it.
