I decided to run the Guntec AR10 BCG for a variety of reasons. Price, reputation, and quality. I don't have thousands of rounds on mine yet but so far it's been flawless. It's a new rifle build with a bunch of random parts, some of which were limited run or design change parts (think mix of AR10 and SR25 patterns) so I was expecting chaos. Either I'm lucky, or this BCG is running well. I haven't have too many issues with the rifle over all and none of those had to do with this. I feel pretty confident on piece and wouldn't hesitate to grab another if I need one.

I was a bit skeptical about Primary Arms as an optics manufacturer but I keep reading reviews from people saying not to sleep on them. I took a change and ordered this to pair up with my Mk12 Mod 0 mock clone because I didn't want to chase the correct Leupold or Nightforce optic for + $1k. I'm very impressed with the clarity of the optic and the ACSS reticle. The eye relief was easy to hit with my setup so I have no complaints there. I'm not super educated or experienced with reticles and longer range optics but after a few videos, I feel like this makes a ton of sense. I'm not planning on taking this unit out to a thousand yards as that wasn't the original intention of the parent model but I'm confident that this scope is capable of more than my skill level. I do not think anyone will be unsatisfied by choosing this scope and I can't imagine there being anything better in this price range. I'm going to be looking to Primary Arms for future stuff and shame on me for dismissing them previously. The old saying that you spend 2x the price of the rifle on the glass isn't true anymore.

I grabbed one of the Stag-10 uppers to fit to a custom weird hybrid designed lower from a company that no longer exists. I had to do some research but this fits my needs. Being compatible with my build, I'm happy with the fit and finish of the upper. It came with the dust cover and forward assist already installed so there isn't much to do other than add your barrel and fore end. I'll probably grab another for a third upper build. The prices of these seem in line with their competitors without getting into ridiculous territory for some of the huge name brands. I'm pleased with it and looking forward to completing it into a 6.5 build.
