Well, I've been a one AR guy for well over 15 years, and after buying a new upper and lower last year, I found myself with a Bushmaster Upper/lower. So the question was... what did I want to do with it.
Here is what I wanted.
- Freefloat raii
-16-18" barrel
-Magnafied optics
The Upper had a 16"HBAR that has 14K thru it. So I decided to continue to use it and check the accuracy once the build is complete. It had been very accurate prior to retiring it for my new AR.
All parts were purchased of the EE here and elsewhere.

Stage 4 Decided to switch stage 4 and 5 and go for the Optic. I did my Home work and listened to some smarter guys then me and settled on a TA11D ACOG.
It showed up on the EE at just the right time with just the right reticle and just the right mount (LaRue) and to top it off... at a great price (Thanks elvisp)
So far, I could not be happier. The Eye-relief is excellent. I may be able to hit the range tomorrow to sight it in.
Stage 5 (BUIS)
I've am going to go with the Samson Front BUIS as funds become available. The Rear one I am still in debate. Most likely Troy or possible PRI. See what kind of smoking good deal is on the EE in the next few months.
Let the critique begin......
