so i have a acog on the way. i got it in trade and really wasn't in the market for one.
the only ar i have is a 16" pencil barrel a2
now i dont want to mount a acog on a carry handle due to optic hight off the barrel
option 1
buy a upper and switch out my upper for a flattop 90ish bucks
buy a wrench 20ish bucks (i could use one anyways)
sell my existing upper
option 2
buy a complete upper 16-20inch with a flattop and no bcg and just switch them back and forth. i use my ar in the tractor (full of dust) and wont put a acog in the dust. just switch the uppers and bcg.
option 3
buy upper/bcg and only switch the upper
option 4
build a whole new ar to fit the optic i really didn't need but wanted to try
if i go option one ill either carry a diffrent rifle in the tractor or buy a quick detach mount and backup sights. i like my ar as a tractor rifle because its got a colaposible stock and can be short and swing around easily and extended when im ready to shoot.
problem is i dont want to dumb alot of money into another ar when i could dump the money into long range equipment
