[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3856262, member: 41176"] There is absolutely nothing an AR with all that "stuff" can do that this can't. Especially if you are using it for the home and maybe the range out to a couple hundred meters. 👇 👇 [ATTACH type="full" width="341px" alt="IMG_7035.jpg"]302448[/ATTACH] That said, it seems that you're set on getting stuff for your AR to turn it into something everyone else has, so I'd say to spend your money wisely. Get quality parts (doesn't mean expensive) and stay away from the chicom garbage. Adjustable gas blocks are good for 308s and gasguns that are difficult to regulate (300BLK, pistol/SBR, etc.) You don't need one on a 5.56 NATO AR with a 14.5" and up barrel - [U]waste of money[/U] I'm with [USER=6795]@dlbleak[/USER] on the cut down FSP. It's the best gas block you can get for your gun and it will [U]always[/U] go back to the same spot whenever you remove it to put more stuff on your gun. But, if you have to spend the money, get a GB that lasts forever - Badger, DD, PRI; they make them for the Gov. Don't forget your shim. The A2 birdcage is already a great compensator and flash hider. But, if you have to spend money on a MD, and you aren't suppressing your gun, and it needs to be cool-looking, then look at a MD that gives you benefit, and not just gimmicks. - compensates recoil, flip, and flash. Think PWS's FSC or similar. There are a few other good ones out there. The troy is so you can say you can gouge foreheads and whatever. It doesn't do the things you want a MD for and serves no real purpose other than to say it's pointy. If you get BUIS, get them in a set from that same manufacturer. They will match up.

Rail comment below the stinger thing. They're out of TX. He started in his garage. They seem decent but I'm not partial to the zigzags and such, but they might be worth a try. I do like MI. I've had multiple rails and parts from them, and they are always high quality and not overpriced and pretty tough. Recommend a 12"-13.5" long rail. I like both the suppressor rail and the light weight. Rails only go up in price from MI...DD, Geissele, KAC, etc. So, if you must spend money on your rifle, I recommend a quality rail first, and if you have to, a quality gas block. Then you can start loading it up with all the extra stuff down the road. [/QUOTE]
