So my dream build is almost done, and I went with parts that were all as lightweight and still durable as can be but didn't go with a pair of back up irons.
After realizing I wouldn't want my handgun to not have back up irons and putting all my faith in my red dot just because it has a solar panel I realized I should probably put irons on the AR as well.
Keeping with the lightweight goal in mind I was going to go with the mbus gen 2's to save another 1.5 or 2 ounces over most competitors but I've got nothing else polymer on the rifle and don't plan on anything unless the discontinued Trijicon acog I'm still hunting for has any in its construction.
Are the gen 2 mbus pretty durable? Or should I just give in and get irons.
I know it sounds silly but I'm trying to keep this build at the target weight of 6lbs with optic and loaded. Without optics / mag it's about 4.3lbs. You don't get that low without considering every ounce.
Edit: I posted this below when I found it - has anyone ever had these Bobro lowrider buis?
