Might want to think about replacing the forward grip with the Crimson Trace model.

I'm considering adding a laser unit of some kind but I don't care for them on a long gun personally. I do have one for my M&P40.

 It's a real nice build. But after 3 years I thought you might be feeling a little lost now that it's done  ;D

When I grow up I want an EoTech!!!!!  Also, I like the pressure switch for the light on the forward grip.

How does that work with multiple Items, like say, a light and a laser. Can you get 1 switch to light them both, or do you use separate switches ?
Might sound like a dumb question, but they didn't have any of this stuff "back in the day"  ;D

Of course one is never really done. Added a Magpul MBUS rear flipup sight and ASAP singlepoint sling attachment point as well as the MS2 sling. Still need to replace the stock front sight with a flipup type. NEED HELP.
From experience what would be a good flip sight that will easily replace the gas block and post? Ive looked at a railed gas block but it would cause the sight to sit to low compared to the rear. Any ideas???

My plan for the next project is either to build a 14" barreled AR on a S&W lower and equipping it with Troy industries full length free float quadrail. Putting a Wilson Combat 2 stage adjustable trigger. Add an Aimpoint comp M3 or M4. Else I will build a long range model in .308 with a 20" maybe a 24" barrel.

Remember, a 14" barrel is an NFA weapon and needs $200 tax stamp
