That dang add on bug bit me again! I thought I was done, but I'm not completely satisfied w/ it just yet and need some advise on a couple of things.

The first thing I want to do is get this scope mounted further back to improve the eye relief and still be able to keep the rear flip there. I saw this Burris mount and wanted to know - can you install it in either direction and would it accomplish what I'm trying to do? Most pics of this mount has it facing forward... I also have this riser coming in this week for the Truglo Triton red dot I have... I don't know if that will help or not w/ any of this?

Next is an extended charging handle. I know there is alot of companies out there making these things, however, I'm new to this AR platform and don't want to buy twice like I did w/ a junk GDT bipod last week and lose money on shipping trash both ways...lol

Last is the trigger spring. Is the JP spring a decent spring? I'm not looking for a competition trigger type, but a reduced pull/weight would be great.

Here's what I'm working w/ currently:



Thanks fellas.

Nice rifle , I have the same scope and its dead on at any range it seems. If your looking for a chargeing handle latch I recomend NDZ . They have a huge selection of handles among otherthings for the 15-22. I bought minne there and next im geting thier version of the bad lever , its made for our rifles, no bending or stock modifying to get it to work. the guys sre cool to .

I went with the plinker tactical charging handle. I liked the large oversized latch and the quality is good. Some complain about the "fit" of the handle. It does have a little play but doesn't cause any issues with the function and it doesn't rattle around. Some users here like the NDZ version.

Not my taste. I'm sure a few people would buy it for a novelty item.

Thank you. I have about 100rds through it w/ this scope and "so far", I'm happy w/ it; zeroed at 50yrds. Does their handle have "play" in it like the plinker tactical one?

They both seem very nice. Is it sloppy compared to the NDZ?

Thanks. It's a Harris 9-13" non swivel w/ the GG&G adapter. I LOVE it and it works perfect for bench shooting. It's very light and very solid. The grip is a Magpul RVG. It's very comfortable and fits well in my hand. The rail covers are some cheapys I found on Amazon. In my opinion, anything covering the rails is a huge plus. I don't like the feel w/o them. These make it very comfortable. This scope is a "value scope" that tends to be working out very well. It's the UTG Bug Buster. The other stuff came w/ the MOE package. The Truglo site is the Triton w/ the red, green, and blue. I haven't messed w/ it yet and don't know if I'll like it or not. I never had a red dot scope, only a holographic one. I mainly bought it for an extra and got a really good deal on it.



Thanks for the responses everyone. Any ideas about the Burris mount? Can you mount it facing the other way?

You can mount the Burris either way. If you're going to leave the rear sight mounted it will probably help but you still might not get the eye relief you're wanting.
