My custom barrel is done, lower is built, and almost all parts for upper are purchased. I'm pulling my hair out over this last decision. I have a 18" mid length barrel. My two choices are; 9" rail with A2 FSB and LMT rear BUIS - maybe Eotech in future 12" rail with low-profile gas block and troy folding sights - maybe scope in future I shoot targets only, not military or police, just a paper puncher - literally. I have a pistol and shotgun for home defense. Any suggestions, comments will be appreciated. |

Nothing wrong with a flattop and fixed FSB. It appears the 9" rail with the LMT rear is the least expensive. However if you're really going to target shoot, I don't know that an Eotech is your best choice. The precision of a magnified optic is better for paper punching. I would recommend you decide which optic you want first, and when you do that your support systems are good to go. Definitely the fixed FSB/LMT with the Eotech, and definitely the folding iron sights with the scope. Although more expensive, I'm biased toward the optic route only because I think it is more flexible, especially with a low-powered optic.
