Longbow... Mine is a tac driver.... I have the A2 Government Carbine. I just wish it had the detachable carry handle!

I am jealous! It looks sweet... I know you'll be happy with that evil black rifle.

So far, mine is stock except I added tritium iron sights...

Very nice

That was an investment not a purchase. She will hold her value very well.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Other then a sling I believe I have her set up the way I want her. Still kind of up in the air weather to go with a single point or two point sling.

After a little more research I realized I would need good BUIS.
I added a Yankee Hill Machine (YHM) flip up back site behind the Eotech. I like it allot.

Took her to the range this morning.
First thing was to zero the irons through the glass of the Eotech. about ten rounds later I was putting the rounds in a 1" black square at 25yrds. very cool and was very pleased.
Flipped down the rear irons and turned on the Eotech, holding at 6:00 o'clock first shot was perfect for elevation and about 3" to the right, a few clicks later and I was punching the center out of the 1" square. unfortunately the range was busy so I didn't get a chance to shot at 100yrds or longer.
As CQB short carbine I think this set up is going to work great for what I intended. Yes there is still a big grin on my face.
Here are a few pictures. As usual I forgot to take it to the range.

Longbow,

Can you co-witness the irons with your Eotech?

My 6920 is setup similar, I have a Troy BUIS and use a Trijicon TriPower in a Larue cantilever mount as my primary.



The first time I zeroed, I zeroed the irons first, then "co-witnessed" the Tripower to them, it was within 1 click of being on. Although the Larue has awesome RTZ, I still verify by co-witnessing every time I remove/replace the scope.

The only other addition I'm going to make is a small rail on my M4 handguard for an Insight M3X light. I've been looking at railed forearms for a while, but really like the standard handguards and don't want any extra weight. All I want to do is have the ability to mount a light, so all the rails will be of no real use to me.

Chuck

Hi Chuck
Yes I can co-witness through the Eotech.
I'm really pleased with this set up. I went to the range Thursday morning, was able to use the 200 yard range and was very please to see I could consistently keep my shoots on a paper plate at that distance with the Eotach shooting off hand. Very pleased indeed

Howdy Chief.
I only buy through Beartooth Cash and Gun. If you haven't been there you should stop buy and check it out.
Your going to love the Eotech !!
What's the hold up. I couldn't wait to get out and shoot mine.
peace out, Longbow

I would be interested in knowing what kind of add ons you guys like and why.
Feel free to show some pictures, Thanks for looking, Longbow
the EOTECH was probably the best add-on you could choose for an M-4. as for the rest, it just depends what else you want.

it's a fine weapon clean as it sits. some folks like vertical front handles, some don't. lasers and flashlights are common as well.

i like all the above for a CQC weapon. here's my rig (technically not a true AR, but still common enough for this discussion)...
