Hi folks - I’ve been reading all your opinions for months now, and I really appreciate that this is a relatively tight group of enthusiasts, with a small group of trusted suppliers that make parts. I got my M4 recently, and here is what I’ve done so far as well as what I’m doing. Would love your thoughts on a few things:
Sling: Vickers combat sling (installed on factory sling mounts)
Optics: Scalarworks Mount with RMR (Should arrive next week)
Mag Tube: Put myself on the list for a Carrier Comp, but would love to hear thoughts on this vs. the Briley CF tube.
Grip: I ordered the Briley 8” MLOK grip from Dissident Arms late last week. I haven’t seen a lot of photos of the 8” installed so I’m really excited about this. Unclear on what production/shipping timelines are here.
Stock: standard PG stock. I’m in NY so no collapsible stock in my future
Charging Handle: seems like FFT is hit or miss? The GG&G slotted handle looks good but I’d love opinions here. The changing handle debates on this forum seem to go back nearly 10 years so I’m unsure on the latest thoughts around this.
Ive wanted an M4 for years and this is recent buying-orgy is likely the beginning of my midlife crisis. Open questions I haven’t really researched In depth but would love opinions on:
tactical flashlight and mounting solution given that I’m getting the Briley 8”
cerakote (unsure on color and/or if I can trust a LGS to do this if they don’t specialize in the M4. I want something unique and it’s hard to tell what colors will look like online)
side saddle
G10 rail scales for the Briley MLOK.
When all is said and done I intend to have a showpiece that I can show off to y’all!
