I was having some gas problems with the low profile block i had. Got a BTE adjustable gas block. Adjusted it down and works like a champ. Changed out the A2 flash hider to a Smith Vortex. Definately like it better. Added a B.A.D. lever and Gunfighter Mod 2 charging handle. Also changed my foregrip to Grip pod for the added option of a bi pod. Still havent really got to break 'er in yet, but so far im very happy with my changes.

The BCM charging handle is a really great improvement.

Yes I love mine, I think I got the MOD3 (the longest one) Should have gotten the medium or even small latch. Riding on a four wheeler or walking with it strapped across your chest in a 2 point sling that latch starts to dig in after a while.

Great looking rifle! Just wondering on the financial side - how much did you spend by adding all these extras?
