Thing is, once I have it, I have it. Barrier to entry only makes it cooler. If everyone drive an F458, they would get boring fast

I built this AR to be my one semi-auto 5.56 platform. No compromises. Sadly, it's worth more than my 2002 G20 daily-driver in perfect mechanical condition even without the can, lol
No compromise is right. Really nice stuff.

Virtually all of my rifles are built on Noveske uppers and lowers, and I have one Light Recce w/VIS. I think the VIS adds a little weight to the package but it's absolutely rigid and I think makes for a better rifle. That rifle has had about 6000 rounds through it, including 2000 rounds at a 3-day carbine course where all I did was oil it (no cleaning) -- has functioned flawlessly.

My only mishap with that Noveske rifle has been that the rear Troy sight fell off (lack of LocTite). Unfortunately, it fell off right at Jeff Gonzales' feet at that last TriCon course. I did not become "that guy", but it was not an impressive event.
