Nice job.
I have a bunch of AR's, and none of them have optics. I need optics.

Thanks. The STRIKEFIRE was moved over to plinker, as it's not my shtf rifle. There are iron sights and the P223 on the CG-AR now. That's going to be my go to.wtf rifle....

If that scope isn't QD, check out Amazon for a set of offset irons. I grabbed them for lols, and they aren't half bad.

The scope on the left ar (my CG-AR QD build) is the Nikon P223 3x32, with the yhm 5040 Quick deployment same plane sights.
Wait
Now I get what you're saying. Belay my last, I'll look into it....

That is a great find. Have you used these yet? I am going to order a set this weekend.

I have a set on my AR. They work alright as back ups. I will be going traditional flip ups once i get a QD mount.

Are not happy with them, or are you just going a different direction with your rifle?
It's not that I'm not happy, but it is slightly awkward to tilt the rifle, and I like the idea that I can shoot off a bipod with the regular irons if I want.
They work and hold zero just fine. I'll be putting them back on my 22 when I take them off the AR.

Awesome, I think I am going to snag a set. I have used 1 o'clock sights before, so I am comfortable with the concept.

I bought a set for one of my ARs which has an ACOG mounted it. I am happy with them.

That rifle looks familiar.

How do you like that AP tube? It uses the JP base right? I almost bought that same tube for my over weight 18" gun.

It mounts to a standard barrel nut. It is pretty slick setup. The Carbon Arms used the JP.

I've never heard of a Firebird lower. Link???
Nice gun. I want a stainless barrel at some point. I love the looks of those.
Thanks

Nice.
Their lower isn't that badly priced. $140 for 7075-T6. I couldn't find a photo on their site. I was just curious.
Either way, sweet rifle.

It says they use a set screw to lock the upper to the lower. Interesting.
It is a cool idea, but I never use it since I carry my rifles in small discrete cases

If your rifle is always assembled, does that set screw serve the same purpose like an accu wedge?

Personally, I'd rather one AR with an optic than two without.
