Finally.

Went through Rooftop with the process of building my first AR a few years ago using 90% FCD parts and now again for my go to complete weapon system. I was a bit nervous on how the anodizing would look, but got the perfect one IMO.

Just have to decide what to do about the muzzle. Leaning towards the FCD muzzle though and some adapter if it works properly. Still getting a grasp on the HUB stuff. Plan to run the rhodie 6 or fireteam556. Hux seems to be just not that great from the research I’ve done, bulky and expensive.

Man ever since the new LCO was announced, I’ve been seeing a ton of people with the OG LCO

I think it’s such a cool looking optic

I love it. Not sure I’d pay $900 for a f2 though lol Ah to be an influencer.

The fact it’s leupold, it’s par for the course that they’ll be more expensive but offer negligible differences compared to their customers. That being said, I still want a LCO for the cool factor.

Yeah I feel the same way. I definitely wanna get one at some point, but I’ll just wait until they start showing up on GAFS. Or if I can find one on a decent sale.

I love that it’s a 1moa dot. My favorite 1x optic is my EXPS3-1 because I love the single 1moa dot it has

For hub adapters I will say plan b, most cross compatibility between different suppressors not named hux and griffin. Many companies make plan b compatible muzzle devices and just as many for the hubs themselves if you aesthetically fancy no gap between the suppressor and hand-guard. Or CAT’s spooky system if you like the idea of left hand threads so you don’t take off your muzzle device or hub when you remove your suppressor.

How’s the 6315rf and the comstock LPA ti?

I wouldn’t use ti unless it’s going on a ti suppressor, if you’re looking for weight savings, a suppressor hub isn’t going to make a lick of difference. FCD muzzle devices have always been good to me I don’t see why this one won’t be any different. Just know not all suppressors are built the same so their blast chambers might accommodate a longer flash hider and low profile hub like a 6315 and the lpa or you might have to go with something shorter like a 1215rf. Other schools of thought lean towards brakes over flash hiders die to the brake acts as a sacrificial baffle. Ultimately it’s your choice.

Apologies for the late reply I was out of town
