Since new toys seem to be put on hold I decided to make the best of what I've got. Mantis X 10 and the Blackbeard, blitzkrieg components tritium sites, radian safety and charging handle, Larue trigger, exps3, upgraded trigger springs, and some repair kits for high wear parts. I'm just kind of going through them one at a time and upgrading things with what I feel are the best components I can afford.
That's where I'm at. I'm upgrading and reorganizing what I already own to optimize it's usefulness.
I need a couple optics. I'm buying them one at a time, and doing a bunch of research. I've been looking for a couple months. Its easy to hurry up and click "place order" and have to sell it at a loss because it's not quite what you want. I think I've settled on the PA GLX 2X for $369 for the first one. Yes, I can afford more expensive choices, but I think it will do what I want and I just can't see having a ton of money tied up in this stuff, and it lets me throw more $$ at my mortgage.
