Hey Guys,
Here’s the plan.
I have an Armalite AR10A4 Flattop carbine. The only things I have done to it so far are to add an Ambi safety *(I am left handed) and ACOG type optic.
I want to add a flash hider, a collapsible stock, a different grip, ambi Mag release and maybe a set of backup sights.
I thought about just getting the birdcage from Armalite, but are there any that are that much better for the price or slightly more? I will be getting the bayonet mount for it too for S&G and GP.
For the collapsible stock, Armalite has one, and I saw the setup that Zak Smith did with the Magpul on an AR10, which was really sweet. Unfortunately it costs aprox 3x as much. IS it really worth the extra cost? Or are their any others? A possible consideration for this. I am thinking about eventually getting the AR10T Ultra upper for it so you can have the best of both carbine and long-range with a quick switch. Will that work, or will the collapsible stock cause problems?
For the new grip, every replaceable grip I have seen for an AR10 is Right hand only. Ideally, I would like an Ambi. Are there any or will a standard AR15 grip work without any problems?
Is there an AR10 ambi mag release? Will an AR15 work? I am thinking not because of with.
Finally, What backups would you recommend? Thinking flip down, and while I have seen other threads, I haven't seen anything definite.
On a slightly different note, I also have an AR15A4 with an Eotec. Already have a collapsible on it, but I do want a Flash suppressor, ambi mag release and back ups. For $5 for an AR15 birdcage, is there anything that much better. Is there a good ambi mag release that is not $100, or is that a good price? Also, how do the Israeli Orlite Magazines work for people, good, bad, indifferent, and should I go new or used with any Mags.
Thanks for the Help
