And here is mine. Since I am left-handed, I wanted to add some of the ambidextrous accessories when I converted my S&W M&P 15T to flat dark earth. Thanks to the other forum members for helping me decide on parts and suppliers!

Total parts list: MOE carbine length stock (# MAG400FDE); MOE Grip (# MAG415FDE); MOE Vertical Grip for Rail (# MAG412FDE); Magpul Magazine (# MAG570FDE); Magpul Ladder Rail Protectors –FDE; Magpul Extended Rubber Butt Pad (# MAG317); Monstrum S3940-M Scope with Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle and Integrated Red Laser Sight; Troy Ambidextrous Bolt Release; Troy Industries Ambidextrous Magazine Release; Battle Arms FDE Ambi Safety Selector; BCM Gunfighter Mod 44 Ambi-Laser Etched; FDE Etched Ejection Port Cover-from thunderboltgunworks

The only thing missing is the sling. The new butt stock requires Uncle Mike's Super Swivels to go into the lanyard hole for the sling attachment.

That looks awesome...nice quality choice of parts!!!

At first I though I wanted the Troy/MI design, since it defaults to the large aperture (short yardarge) when flipped up, but I find I shoot the small aperture most of the time anyway, so it's a win/win. That and recent Troy politics...meh I went with the Magpul.

Also posted in the main thread, but since it's more FDE goodness, I'll throw it in here also...

Local LGS heavily recommends Troy's, so I will give them a fair shake for a few weeks - Worst case I hate them and he will take them back...

So a touch more FDE for the thread... Also dumped the MOE grip, just don't care for it on a carbine length handguard. I'll just grab the magwell for CQB/Clearing drills, etc.
