Gonna be straight, the hand guard doesn't scream MAGA, but it's kinda borderline fudd-y. :P A carbon fiber M-LOK hand guard and a low-profile gas block would be better, unless you're reeeeaaaaaalllllly attached to that A2 front sight post.

I still prefer the 30 round magazines, since they're cheap, easy to find, and are better for making it through high round count matches without lots of reloads. :)

As an aside to all of that, when I talk to younger people at matches--I'm probably about your age, maybe a little older--many of them are in favor of things Dems say that they're in favor of (except gun control). I think that's one of the sticking points for a lot of the younger rednecks in rural parts of the country.

Imma be dumb here, but I think the holes in the hand guard are M-LOK? Not looking to attach tools there in any case.

low-profile gas block

Uh, you lost me, but I'm listening. LOL, this is why I went with a plain Ruger Whiteout. Still learning, but didn't want to fuck up rolling my own.

And yes, I'm loving the A2 sight. Practicality aside, I saw this on sale and thought, "Huh. M16 in Star Wars? Sold." The light is a normal Olight I happened to have, but it glares on the front sight. Can't find it again, but someone posted a nice adapter that would throw it out further. Know what I'm talking about? Couldn't find one at the time.
