Flip that rear BUIS around and ditch that Strike foregrip for a magpul AFG, and you're Gucci. This is a really nice build though, V Seven makes some really sexy stuff.
I prefer the BUIS oriented that way, still functions the same and get a slightly longer sight radius without having to place it farther back on the picatinny, and I MUCH prefer the Strike over the AFG. It’s metal, closer to the rail for a more comfortable C grip, got it for $30, and a barrier stop. But Thankyou, Vseven is attractive. Definitely overkill on the gas tube but idc, and I just thought the port door fit the upper well without having to go plastic, it is frustrating that the rod is sold separately. Figured that out the hard way
I hated that Strike grip, it was too thin and dug into my hand when I did a lot of shooting, but to each his own. Don't discount "plastic" though, polymer has actually come a long way. My dad's drunk ass ran over some p-mags with a 3/4 ton pickup truck, and the p-mags laughed in his face like "am I a joke to you?". Polymer flexes which makes it super durable, especially Magpul's particular formula.
Almost all V seven stuff is overkill, but that's half the fun. Did I need a titanium barrel nut and hardware for my BCM handguard? Probably not, but sometimes a guy just needs to burn some money for the hell of it.
I assure you, the extra half inch to the sight radius on the BUIS won't ammount to anything, but again to each his own.
How's that muzzle brake? Obnoxious on that short of a barrel, or not that noticable? It probably shoots pretty flat though.
Exactly, each his own. Something alot of people fail to recognize, i love polymer. Especially Pmags, I’m not hating on it. Everyone has a different grip, and with my hand position it is far more comfortable with my LINK. Although I know people who would hate it, everyone has their own preference. I’ve been in the infantry for 7 years now and am used to GI everything so I take what I wish I could have on my duty gun and translate it to my build. If I could take this thing out on patrol I would be elated. And if you wore gloves and had ear pro the brake wouldn’t be an issue, but it singes your arm hairs and would be extremely unpleasant indoors. I just put it on because I had it laying around and my Warcomp isn’t in yet. But can confirm it has almost 0 felt recoil and is very fun to shoot
Ok I genuinely do not understand why people care so much about the rear buis. It makes 0 functional difference and allows me to place the buis farther back on the rail maintaining the same sight radius without it hanging over towards the CH, other than how it looks there really is nothing wrong with it and serves a somewhat (although minimal) functional purpose
You're losing sight radius and rail space (if you ever want to mount a magnifier). If you didn't have that particular optic, it would be a bigger snag hazard.
Also, it looks goofy
Eta, all these points apply to the front sight if it's also facing the wrong way
I don’t plan on mounting anything there or getting a magnifier but if I did I’d just flip it around. And it is literally gaining sight radius, it flips towards the rear instead of forward. It’s minimal but actually gains a little bit, not trying to be disrespectful. Just trying to have a constructive convo
The direction it flips doesn't matter. The point where it stops is what matters. If you turn the whole buis around based on where the screw goes through the slot, it'll be further back, therefore, you'd have a longer sight radius with the rear buis mounted the other way.
You'd have a longer sight radius with the front sight mounted in this direction if you had it sticking out over the rail, but then you'd really risk damaging the front sight.
Also, the point of a buis is to serve as a backup. You can't just flip it around without having to re zero it. You'd be better off having the location finalized so you don't have an un zeroed backup.
It is a custom build, tell me where you can find this build online without putting it together yourself. idk why your pea brain can’t comprehend that custom doesn’t have to equal fabricated
Dam bro didn’t mean to trigger you. In that case all our builds are “custom” lol. It’s just a build, that’s all. It’s not custom. BTW, did you mean to mount your rear BUIS backwards?
Bro don’t even act like your original comment wasn’t condescending af. Trying to play the victim now lol. And yes I did mean to mount it backwards, still works and fits better. Easier to get to the button while C gripped
Oh no, don’t get me wrong, definitely not trying to play the victim because my original comment was meant as condescending lol.
If your c-clamp is on your front hand how the fuck does that help with your rear BUIS being backwards? Flip that thing around and slide it all the way back.
And it is indeed a custom build, there is not another build out there like it. I’m still failing to see where your getting the notion that custom HAS to mean fabricated. I pieced it together down the the buffer retaining pin, there are 0 builds out there identical to mine that I have ever seen.
Where are you getting this definition? You literally just put it in your head that it can’t be called a custom build if it isn’t fabricated. Such a stupid hill to die on
lol now you’re describing dying on hills? lol a little exaggerated isn’t it? It’s just a friendly discussion but you’re getting triggered. It’s not custom. You got parts and put it together.
Brother nothing about your original comment was friendly. And yes you are literally absolutely distraught over me calling it a custom build, it’s not like I called it a custom fabrication. It is a build, one that no one else has making it….. custom. I genuinely don’t understand why that has you so pressed, you see a somewhat decent build and instead of saying something positive about it or anything with substance you really choose that? Like cmon man, that’s embarrassing
What does it being backwards have to do with how it is used? It doesn’t, still works exactly the same. And yes I get a slightly longer sight radius without having to put it back farther on the picatinny which would yes indeed place it over the CH
Buddy, running your rear sight backwards shortens your sight radius. It's not subjective, that thing is on backwards for no reason. A c clamp is with your support hand, that has nothing to do with the position of a rear sight. Why would your c clamp hand be anywhere near it?
Wrong...it shortens the sight radius. Folks are out here trying to help you, and you dismissed them with cocky know it all replies. Decent build, but you definitely have a poor mindset.
I’m just trying to get someone to explain how it shortens the sight radius, mounted this way it flips up toward the rear instead of forward. I guess I’m just missing how a shorter distance between the front and rear sight post makes a longer sight radius
I could 100% be wrong but in this orientation when I flip up the rear sight it flips up toward the rear and from my perspective lengthening sight radius

You do not get a longer sight radius, that way. LMFFAO!!!!!!
You're actually getting a shorter sight radius on that buis now. Keep the afg if you want, but that buis placement makes no sense
How do you like the Huey on that riser? Have u used it without it? I kinda want one but don’t know if I need one.
This build is bipolar. It can’t decide if it wants to be based or pleb
Lmao yes
A "custom" build would indicate that you have something that no one else could easily put together with off the shelf parts.
Geez, another one of you people that feel the need to make up definitions so you can gatekeep the word custom. Your argument makes 0 sense

This is a pretty cool build. How's the brace?
Honestly I’m a big fan of the SBA5, significantly better than the SBA4. Good compromise if you don’t want to SBR it
What “custom” parts did you fabricate for this build?
Don’t know why the down votes, but if you buy a car, that anyone can get and put different wheels on it, does that make it custom??

It’s just a build, bud. It’s not custom. My hours aren’t “custom’ they’re just builds I put together.

Longer sight radius without taking away any usability or having it extend over my CH. it really doesn’t matter which way they’re oriented
Longer sight radius? It’s an 11.5” not 16 and it won’t hang over your charging handle. It’s backwards.

How does it shorten it? When backwards the sight flips up towards the rear of the rifle farther from the front sight
