Feedback on my new rifle build

Posted by No_Letterhead_1542@reddit | Firearms | View on Reddit | 5 comments

Hi yall! I just bought a new radical firearms socom 16” the other day and I’ve been building it as just like a budget gun that can get roughed up and it not be a big deal. So far I’ve added a

Vortex crossfire II Red dot

Strike industries charging handle

Magpul vertical foregrip

B5 sopmod stock

B5 stipple grip

And bought a few pmags

I still want to buy a nice light setup

Maybe a different muzzle

And maybe some other internal upgrades

If anyone has any questions, comments, suggestions, concerns, or just wants to put in your two cents then please go ahead!

Thanks yall!

looks really good bro. not absolutely necessary but the red dot can be moved up to the front of the upper receiver, right before the handguard

Thanks man! What’s the advantage to moving it up farther on the rail?

Panthean@reddit

Definitely worth it to move it forward to the front of your upper receiver.

It will give you better peripheral vision and also leave room for backup sights or a magnifier in the future.

It's really a no brainer, there is no reason to have your dot so far back.

you get more room for magnifiers and it also gives you a more open field of view around the target. the housing of the sight will block more of your vision if it is closer to your face.
