Updated my XM15
Been updating my CQB carbine this winter.
There are very few Bushmaster parts left.
Upper. lower, and the barrel are all that is left. Everything else has been replaced.

The barrel will be replaced with a 12.5" once the Form 1 clears to make her an SBR.

Bolt carrier group is a BCM f/a part. Stock is a Magpul CTR, grip is a MIAD, sights are MBUS, forward grip is an AFG, Magpul BAD and Magpul rail covers.
Laser is a K-15 LaserLyte green laser, trigger is a 3# Timney,and the flash suppressor is a Noveske KX3 'Flaming Pig'.

I suppose you like it like that, but your front sight is backwards.
How do you like the flaming pig on a 16" barrel?

The sight is like that for a reason.
With my hand on the AFG, I can easily deploy (and retract) the sight with my thumb.
The deploy lever favors this position.

Also, there is no front or back to either of these sights.
They are ambi in that they work equally well in either orientation.
They also give me an extra inch of sight picture as they are fitted.

The KX3 works well with the 16" barrel, but I really bought it on anticipation of the 12.5
That is where the KX3 is supposed to shine. It gives SBR's a bit more dwell time to cycle, improving performance.

Nice! What did the laser unit set you back?

I'm guessing about 5 bills. It seems like all of them I've looked at have been in that ballpark.

Natchez had them on sale recently.
I think I paid $210 delivered. Never seen them that low before.
