What i want is to put a free float tube on it with a bipod and a a2 stock with a good size scope. something like this (if its your gun sorry dont sue me for using your picture lol i just really like it and thats about what i had in mind for my own gun) I want to use it for longer rang shooting gun maybe thin out the coyotes around my friends ranch.

What i wasn't sure about is how people liked the a2 stocks for a more long rang type ar? my standard collapsible one now wiggles around a bit and i like the thought of it being more stable like my other bolt action rifles. Open to trades if someone is trying to modernize an a2 style ar15. Does it matter that i have a mil spec buffer tube? i know it all gets changed from looking at the pictures of the kits but wasn't sure. Also on the pictured gun that i am using as a build model the bipod isn't on a rail it seems and was wondering if the owner just drilled holes through the free float tube to attach it? Has that worked well for anyone? seems like the tubes are cheaper, nicer to grip and lighter than the railed systems and since its not going to war that suits me.
ok so now for my light weight build, i want it for 100 yards and in for plinking, light weight hunting and pigs.
like i said before i have a New Frontier Armory polymer lower and am trying to find a really light weight upper. what i dont know is if there is such a thing as a 14.5 inch permanently attached flash hider upper with a pencil thin barrel? I can find 16 inch pencil thin barreled uppers like the dpms oracle and PSA ULW. does anyone know if a standard (or pencil thin) 14.5 inch upper is lighter than a 16 inch pencil profile barrel? i cant seem to find many websites that list weight. Also im trying to find an older style stock like the one in the below picture to replace my more modern style stock because they look a bit lighter.

does anyone know where to find or trade for one? my google searches for old cheap ar stocks have not been fruitful haha
i figure ill throw my eotech on it and MAYBE some flip up sights, i like the looks of the front one on the rra elite operator 2 but if anyone knows of something lighter and cheaper that would be helpful. Been checking out the magpul mbus flip ups and heard they could melt on a front gas block like the dpms oracle and wasnt sure if that was true or not. also the dpms oracle rail is too low for normal flip up sights so id havta change that probably.Is there any way to use the mbus front sight without installing a metal (heavy) quad rail safely without melting it?
thanks for all the help, i know im long winded and ask waaay to many questions, figured i might find some people who could help me out.
