[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1023656, member: 229"] So I broke out the Noveske KISS Carbine today and I've got to say that I'm noticing a couple of different things about myself lately: #1 - I'm convinced that for practical carbine stuff, the Magpul ASAP plate definitely kicks the crap out of any 2-point sling for quickly switching to weak-side. I'm not convinced that I want to drag any AR around the brush with one while hunting, but its definitely way more advantageous than either of my 2-point slings. I say this while comparing my Viking VTAC and Vickers Combat VCAS to an old gym bag's shoulder-strap that's basically hooked to itself and then to the Magpul ASAP plate - I'm not lying, I plan on running through a practical carbine match with it like this - maybe some duct tape on it, but nothing fancy at all. #2 - my LaRue Stealth Sniper upper is far to heavy for what I want out of a carbine. I may end up trying to trade it off for either a built-up Sabre or a Noveske Recce upper - I'm not sure just yet, but I've definitely started looking at the extra stuff I have that I don't find myself using nearly as much now that I'm doing things a lot differently (Thank you Magpul Dynamics Practical Carbine Volume I). #3 - I think I actually like shooting Irons more than a red-dot at this point. I'm definitely thinking of switching optics if I keep the Stealth upper - and I find myself more and more wanting etched glass over red-dots pretty much anytime. Since I've vowed that my KISS carbine isn't getting anymore upgrades, this means I either get a blurry FSB in the bottom of the sight-picture of a magnified optic, or I get to go with just Irons - I'm honestly ok with just Irons. Meh, we'll see I guess. At some point I've got to come up with the money to get my son's rifle out of Steve's shop (since I blew what I had on this Noveske), so I'll definitely be slimming things down some. [/QUOTE]
