No I appreciate the suggestion. It’s definitely a cool rail and I wish I could use it tbh

But man I’ve been searching for a rail for months. And I’ve had this issue with almost every rifle I built before this one. So I’m familiar with pretty much every rail on the market lol

I’ve even come across cool, obscure rails like the KDG MREX and a couple others. Popular on the SCAR, but no one really knows they make it for the AR now.

But I keep coming back to the same ones: Mk8 and MCMR. But then like I said earlier, I also really want another combat rail or a RIS III. And SLR always manages to sneak in too. And then the other one I always forget about is the VLTOR freedom rail.

But it will probably end up being G$ or BCM

Yeah you won’t be disappointed with their mounts. I use them on all my red dots.

I also need to grab a 34mm LPVO mount when I get my new LPVO since all my old ones are 30mm. I usually like Geissele or Reptilia for LPVOs but I’ve been thinking about trying out the ADM delta mount this time because I just love their other mounts so much

Unfortunately, I think they stopped making my favorite version of their T2 mount so idk what I’m gonna do when I get more red dots in the future lol. I was able to grab a couple on GAFS in the past so hopefully I can find more there when I need them

Dang

EuroOptic has had them for $200 for a while. Might just grab one there at this point. Just can’t decide if I want another one of those or if I wanna go with a Triggertech single stage diamond again. I keep going back and forth between which one I like more

Me too, man. Me too. Wherever they are, they will not be forgotten.

I’ll use it as an opportunity to make newer, better, cooler looking presets

I finally got them back. Idk what I did or how I did it but it works now.

Unfortunately my old ones didn’t come back but at least now I can make presets again

My presets are still gone tonight. Still not able to make new ones. Restarted my console and tried everything - no dice

But still only for security

Edit - nvm I got it working again! No idea what I did. But I had to redo all of my presets which was kind of a bummer

But at least I got them back

I have a Mk16 on my URGI, bought both CMTs and didn’t like them for this build. Not a huge fan of the FCD look. Well I like it, it’s just not my style. Same with centurion. The circular holes aren’t really my thing. But I have been liking the centurion more and more lately.

I have been considering a RIS III, but if I got one, I’d probably swap out the barrel for a 13.7 to minimize the gap.

Here’s a link to my original post a few weeks ago where I mentioned most of the rails you suggested lol

It just comes down to personal preference. I prefer single stage personally, but my sense is two stage is more popular on here.

If you’re able, I’d suggest going to your LGS to see if they have any rifles with nice triggers you can try out.

One of my favorite triggers of all time is the Geissele SSP - it’s an amazing single stage. But I didn’t see it for sale today on their site. Maybe I just missed it though

I have a bunch of really expensive red dots and optics but the holosun 403r is still one of my favorites. It’s just a really, really great red dot. I’m pretty sure I got it for less than $200. Then the holosun HM3X is also under $200 depending on where you get it.

The Romeo 5 + Juliet 3 is also a good choice

ADM makes QD mounts that would work

Hey the DD might have a gap but it’s still my favorite handguard out of everything I’ve ever used!

Also the gap is there intentionally lol. But I can see it bugging people

That’s a nice rifle though. I’ve always loved the DRT rails

But I’ll never understand the red parts

Ya know, I literally just took the combat rail off my list but I keep thinking about it so I might as well just put it back on lol. It’s one of my favorite rails ever. But I already have one on my SBR. I have a second one too but it’s best to shit. That’s what I’ve been using temporarily on the build in question. I just spray painted it black to make it look at least a little better. But it still looks like shit lol

So one in ral8000 would be cool af. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s not available in the length I need

I’ve never really been a fan of the way they looked but honestly just within the last few weeks I’ve started kinda liking them a lot more. Idk if I can say they’ve made it onto my list of considerations, but I have been thinking about it

Okay so anyone who wants to use quality parts is just a larper who’s trying to flex?

Couldn’t be that they just want to use good parts, huh

Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

Yeah I can afford a really nice optic, but wait then someone is going to think I’m a larper who’s flexing so I’d better just get the cheap one instead

I’ve literally never heard a single bad thing about that optic so I’m sure you’ll love it!

Why do you keep bringing up me being a larper? What makes you think I am? And why do “larpers” piss you off so much?

I really don’t know how putting high quality parts on a rifle makes someone a larper

Nice. Which LPVO did you get

Yeah I’m not flexing, dude. And it’s weird that you stalked my profile to try to get ammo for this hilarious argument.

I build rifles because I enjoy building rifles. I build clones because I enjoy searching for every part. I don’t do it to pretend I’m something I’m not. And I certainly don’t do it to flex or show off.

You honestly must just be extremely insecure in yourself if you’re going around accusing people of trying to show off just because they’re doing something they enjoy. And the fact that you’re so convinced you know someone’s motives without knowing anything about them says a lot about you.

You haven’t said a single intelligent thing that made any sense this entire time. At first, it was funny. But now I kinda just feel bad for you

Idk man you’re making one of the most fudd arguments I’ve ever experienced in person

And what makes someone a larper? Are you saying I’m a larper and you’re calling me out for it?

Man it just gets more and more fudd with each comment

Most people would say anything under $500 is budget glass. And idk where you’re getting that number from - I never brought up a $400 optic

And it’s not a flex at all if you’re getting benefits from it. A lot of people, including me, who have nicer optics either paint them or tape over the logos so you can’t even tell what they are anyway. That’s not a flex. It’s buying a higher quality product because it’s objectively better than the cheaper option

And just because someone buys a nice optic doesn’t mean they can’t also buy mags and ammo.

You sound like a complete fudd and nothing you’re saying is making any sense at all

Man I’ve been trying to decide on a rail for this build for the last like three months and I can just never make up my mind. I’ve narrowed it down to an MCMR or a G$ Mk8. Every time I think I’ve decided on the Mk8, I see a photo of the MCMR and I want that again. But then I’ll see a photo of a Mk8 and I’ll want that. It’s a vicious cycle

Nice rifle, man. And rattle can is almost always the right optiob

lol ok bro

I’d rather look through super clear glass for any kind of shooting than budget glass. And idk anyone who would prefer to use cheap glass when they have the ability to use something better and can afford it

Like do you need to have a super fancy rifle with really good parts? No. But it’s more satisfying than using something cheap

Do you need a Porsche when a Honda will get you to the same place? No. But people still buy Porsches.

You’re just not making any sense

I wouldn’t call a budget optic like the venom (or the strike eagle) super high quality glass lol

And high quality glass does make a huge difference. Why do you think most people buy expensive optics

The whole entire thing just made me dislike radian even more than I already did

Everything about it was so cringe. I forget what the line in the email said but I literally laughed at it. It was like “a vote is like your rifle - it says a lot about your character” or something stupid like that
