Personally I like the LaRue Tactical rails system as well the Daniel Defense or the Knights URX II in the mid length. What length is your gas system going to be ? Carbine, Mid, or Rifle lenght ??
I'm just not a Troy fan, unless your talking front and rear back up iron sights. Their rails are GTG but If the military trusts the above mentioned names then that's where I'd stick, unless your just stuck on Troy products, nothing about them is sub par, it's great stuff.
Do not cut your standard sight block. Find a low pro from Vltor, Larue etc and just remove the standard front sight block or replace it with an YHM flip up sight block or other high end flip up gas block. It will look better and you can install a slightly longer rail system over it and use a Troy or LMT rail mounted front sight. Take your pick of front sight systems, there are many out there to check on the internet.
Get the SOPMOD stock, you'll be wanting it later if you get the Defender lower with a standard M4 stock. The Vltor EMOD stock is becoming more of a favorite than the SOPMOD stock these day's, but many still use the SOPMOD too.
KNS Precision MOD O anti rotating trigger and hammer set. Every AR rifle should have this from the start. It's $39 and will be the best $39 you spend on your AR rifle.
Haven't looked at the Troy VFG, but the standard is the Tango Down with the throw lever from American Defense Manufacturing. I like these VFG's much more than anything else on the market. Mine has the removable piece for the Surefire remote pressure pad for their mounted tactical lights. Fine piece of gear, still looks fairly military unlike alot of the VFG's out their on the market. It's a personal preference thing, but Tango down is the most used besides the Knights VFG. I'ms sure the Troy modular grip is good to go also just throwing another one or two options out there that have been battle tested.
LMT is an excellent choice. If it where me I'd just pony up for the MRP upper or their MRP Piston upper with the Defender lower and the SOPMOD already in the package.
Good Luck. LMT Rocks !!!!
Well the LMT Upper shipped today, but the dealer I ordered the LMT lower from was not an authorized dealer so had to do the FFL paperwork, etc. Bummer, he did not order my lower until today, oh well!
I looked at Bravo Company's Gunfighter MOD 3 Charging handle and probably will go ahead and get it. Question though, the handle comes in three sizes: Mod 3 Large, Mod 4 Medium and Mod 5 Small. I take it you would recommend the Mod 3 Large handle.
I am looking at the AimPoint 3x Magnifier with the Samson Quick Flip AimPoint Mount which allows the 3x Magnifier to flip aside for instant transition from Long-Range To Close-Range Targeting. That will probably have to wait for my birthday or Christmas though.
Thanks for all the advice; I am really getting excited about the new weapon. I will post pictures when I get it all together.
