1) no issues at all. Trigger (SLOP) with A&S 2) much crisper and short LOP is amazing. There's not even a question how amazing it is compared to OEM. 3)never tried shootingsight hammer

Damn it..... Now I want an FDE M4 lol

No concern about barrel heat and cable contact?

That's actually an interesting idea. I'll try reversing mine and try to see if I like it. So by gaining that slight extra clearance, you'd still have to go with the pic rail and can't scout mount it?

GG&G is a good option. FFT, TTI, and Briley also have options. Agency has one, but not for individual sale (have to do the full upgrade package to get it). If you want something easier to install, Dave's Metal Works has the Speed Bar. I have the Briley one only because I was having them do my trigger group so they were willing to do the install as well for free. Really though... don't overthink it. It's simply more surface area so as long as it doesn't protrude to the point where it might catch and suits your own individual aesthetics.. just get what you want.

Agency rail. Really not a big deal pulling weapon apart unless I'm deep cleaning the pistons, which I just have to undo some more screws... A bit more work, but that that much of a PITA. Would be a pain the the field but I'm not stripping down to that level in the field. 7". I had the 4.5 and was too short. Would be fine if I moved light to other side. Arisaka mount cause the Agency rail covers the IWC mount unfortunately. I prefer a remote button cause I've split thumbnail before keeping thumb on back of light button.

Modlite mod button lite.

New updates.... Swapped the optics from a Trijicon RMR back to Aimpoint T2 on scalarworks mount. Handstop swapped out for an Arisaka indexer. Playing around with the new Warrior Poet Society sling as well

Sold

Debating switching my optics back to T2. Anyone looking for a lightly used (200ish rounds) Trijicon RMR RM06 Type 2 3.25 MOA + Scalarworks mount. $500 shipped for both?

quality tube and parts. A bit slow to get, but quality takes time, especially with the high demand.

Briley Short LOP trigger group

If you want to cowitness, RMR on scalar mount works great.

Lefty?

why would you need to break glass in HD situation? That said, pretty sure you can also just swing the gun itself or the butt pad to break any glass.

Wtf lol. Wow that's overkill on the scales. I agree if all you want is grip from the AA, just get OEM stippled. That to me kills any reason to have AA be not adding functionality with the mlok.

So lights on shotguns are primarily for HD situations right? Last training course I got specifically addressed signature reduction with having lights on like that. Shouldn't leave it on for adversary to be able to see you or see you coming from a different room. The preferred method is operate with momentary on/off without grip compromise.

I agree with this part. I ran hand stops for a bit and ended up hating it for the reason you mentioned. Switched it up for an indexer which I like much better as I can still easily slide up and down to reload by simply lifting a finger and faster back on target as I don't need to fumble with ideal grip location with the physical index point. Also when quad loading, it provides a beneficial physical stop to quickly get second load in if my hand overshoots. Real question though... For those with OEM guard... How do you handle light activation? I see lots of people just running a straight light with rear light activation button, but constant on isn't always ideal right? Even mounted on the left side, you'd have to compromise your grip to turn on and off. I guessed you could drill into the guard to mount a remote.

The only thing it prevents you from getting to is the pistons.... And when are you ever going to need to strip the pistons? Everything else is strippable. Additional mlok rail I'd say is a practical purpose. Allows for mounting light, buttons, indexer, hand stop, single shot reload, sling mount, etc.

Maybe came off a bit strong in hindsight... Was just feeling ornery I guess lol. Dave was the first to come up with that design, made in US, quality work, and quality component... At over half off the RxArms variant. The overpriced comment was referring to the product you brought up, not the rest of their lineup.

Overpriced rip off of Dave's Metal Works Speedbar design..... http://www.davesmetalworks.com/m4.html

Weight Any mlok mount will work. I'm partial to quality of Arisaka mounts though. Didn't try SRO, but did play around with an RMR and T2, both on Scalar mounts. I preferred the RMR, bit that's personal. Both were fine and quality. Sling. Trigger. CF tube if you're chasing weight savings. Follower honestly doesn't matter much. It holds the spring and pushes the round. Not rocket science. Just get one made in the US as they're all pretty much the same. If you buy their trigger, only they can install the trigger. They won't send it to you to install. Install the tube and guard yourself... That's easy.

Great guard.

Got any sketch diagram of design? Edit: nevermind, saw it on your site.
