Magpul MOE+ grip, black, NIB: $17 shipped. DPMS LR-308 Carbine-Length Free Float Handguard, pulled from NIB rifle, never been used: $35 shipped.

Out of stock right now, but I called and they said, any time. http://www.762sass.com/product.php?p=1101&cid=17&session=4eaf81b4554fd7314335cb13531a361a Looks like it'll fit everything.

Hey, I'm a practical guy. Ha! I do have a bike. It's an old Raleigh 21 speed mountain job with straight forks and no suspension. I think it's pretty light, but those guys would tell me it weighs a ton. Still, it's a 16" carbine, so I'm thinking 10 lbs ready to rock is about max.

Thanks for the info and suggestions, guys. Went ahead and backordered the ARFX, and grabbed an extension tube, buffer and spring. Should be a nice upgade for $100. I like the specs on that Bushnell, Shibiwan, except for the 17.3 oz weight. Add mounts and its getting prety hefty. Trying to keep it under a pound all up. The new Primary Arms PAC 2.5X Compact Prism popped up on my radar while researching the Burris AR-332, and looks promising. Very similar, sleeker, better reticle, and less money. Might just go that route. Anyway, that trigger group ain't gonna pull and mail itself...

Greetings from southern Missouri. Great board, guys, learning alot here. Been a fan of the .308 for 25 years, and just bought my first AR, a DPMS Oracle. The budget for this defense/hunting rig is $1700, including optics, spare mags, sling, and cleaning gear (chamber/lug stuff). Thinking either a Leupy FX-II 4x33 or Burris AR-332 3x Prism. Leaning toward the Burris because it looks better for close quarters work and is illuminated, but is also etched, so will work sans battery if necessary, and should still give me minute of deer/hog/asshat out to 400 yards. Both run around $300. So that leaves me $300-400 for tweaks. First up is a Bill Springfield trigger job. Then I want to do a KISS free-float alumium handguard and some kind of rubberized grip, and a KISS fixed buttstock, preferably aluminum (hate the adjustable rattle, and might need to bash a skull--you never know). Which brings me to my question: Looking hard at the ACE skeleton stock, on sale at Midway. Will this match up with the buffer/spring/tube the stock Pardus uses or do I have to buy those too (A1/A2)? Need feedback on this because the sale at Midway ends tomorrow, so I'd like to backorder now and save the $15. That's most of a Magpul magazine. Or a twelve-pack of decent beer, whichever comes first. Any help is appreciated. Shaun
