I've been looking at the plethora of parts, gadgets and accessories for the AR platform consistently for the last 7 days while working 12 hr shifts. I even wrote it all down and added it up and was absolutely shocked at the $total$ I realized I had become infatuated with "stuff".
So, I pared the list down to the essentials. Ambidextrous controls, Magpul trigger guard, basic rings and the scope. I think if I score a 6.8 upper down the road I will trick that one out, but for now I'll keep the .450 simple. I can't wait till January.
