[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1122965, member: 229"] Well - there's the problem with "the best parts". :thumb: UTG is airsoft quality - if you seriously want the best, then look at Daniel Defense, Troy, LaRue, etc... for your quadrail. I'm a fan of Magpul's stuff, but the MBUS sights are definitely not my favorite flip-ups (don't get me wrong, I've got a set on one of my rigs and I'm not selling them), but there's another post in this section where I go over a few of the good/bad points of them (in my opinion anyways). The ASAP and MS2 are a good combo, but if you know someone with an AR, you might make sure you're comfortable with a single-point sling before you buy. I sold my Grip-Pod shortly after getting it due to weight and its ability to always find my sack when bouncing around as I was carrying it around for hunting or whatever on a 2-point sling - every friggin time, it would get me right in the man-berries. I'd actually look at a MIAD over the Ergo Grip if it were me (I've got tiny clown hands though). And for all the hub-bub over the ACS, I actually got to handle one the other day - other than the beard-yanking issue with the VLTOR EMOD, I'd take my EMOD over an ACS any day. I don't know, the ACS just sort of hit me like "meh" - I was expecting to be a little more excited about it when I got to see it. The UBR, M93B, PRS, CTR - they all hit me with a sort of impressive presence, but the ACS just didn't do it - different strokes for different folks though - if you like it, by all means, pick one up (its not like you can't get your money out of Magpul stuff should you want to change it later - its almost like currency around here). If you're looking at getting a complete lower and a complete upper, why not just buy a complete carbine and upgrade it with the goodies you're talking about (if you buy a complete RRA, you get their 2-stage trigger, if you buy a complete Sabre defense, you get the thunder-cat logo, if you buy a complete Noveske, you get the extra Iron Cross stamp across the upper/lower).
