I thought about the free float rail. I kind of like how it looks, but is performance much greater than a non floated guard? As a bolt action guy, it makes sense. But, if it truly is better, why doesn't our military use it?
I think I'll keep the Troy quad rail in my cart for now. Everyone keeps saying, "if you buy an AR, you'll change everything anyway". I hate that idea. Also kinda cool I guess. I'm hoping to knock out everything in one buy here.
So I'm going to trade off the BCM for the Oem1. Skip the Socom. Seems like a gimick. Idk. Oem1 with all Magpul furniture, Troy quad rail. Eotech 512. Seems like a nice set-up.
I told myself I'd never get into these ugly black guns. Now I'm getting the appeal kind of. Thanks for all the input. Very helpful.
Eta: A lot of nice handguard suggestions, the Troy isn't set in stone. Thanks again for everyone's suggestions and input.
