I have finally purchased a PreBan AR. It is a Colt w/16" barrel and a 4 position stock on it. I put a cheap tasco red dot on the carry handle for now. But I need some help tricking it out. I have seen numerous pics on here of rifles and they look great. I guess I am looking for items that have the coolness factor but they still need to be usable. So I need help/suggestions on which aimpoint or other red dot sight to buy and any mounts etc. I will need. I would prefer the aimpoint to be able to be used with NV goggles (next big purchase)Probably going to want some type of rail system so I can install a front grip and possibly a flash light at some point. Can anyone give me any help and suggestions? Or any pics you would like to share. Thanks guys |

Oh fun, a preban! I'm no expert but if I had your gun, I'd start with an ARMS #51 SIR. See the following thread for more information and great pics: [URL]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=12&t=152453[/URL] Next, I would add an Aimpoint M2 (night vision compatible) in an ARMS #22M68 mount (no spacer required for cowitness). Finally, I would add a Surefire M900A light/foregrip system to complete the project. This would be a totally kickass setup as far as I'm concerned and assuming that money is no object. The only way this could be any better would be if it was a flattop and you would use a different SIR and a BUIS at that point but I don't think you'll be disappointed. Good Luck! Drivie |

Quoted: Quoted: BTT-Anyone else want to put in their .02 Thanks Yeah, how 'bout shooting it and finding out what [b]you[/b] need and want on it? You may find that you don't want to add anything else on it. I have shot it and shoots fine. If you read the post again you will see that I was asking questions on aimpoints, mounts etc. Asking for help from people who already have their weapons completed. |
| If I was putting together a new rifle and had the cash to outfit it the way I wanted it, the set up described previously by Drivie would be very close to what I would do. In fact, that is what I have on my "go to" rifle with the exception of the optic mount; I am using a GG&G contelever mount. |
