They're getting full-auto AR conversion kits smuggled from China.
I have a Burris AR-332 3X prism sight that is about a third of that. I've used it on both an AR-10 and AR-15. It's quite rugged and easily handles the recoil on the 7.62. It's very compact, and Burris makes a quick detach mount that enables me to remove and replace the sight repeatedly without loss of zero. I would highly recommend looking for a solid optic take a look at it.

Do you use an ammo vest? If so what do you recommend? My 10 round AR magazines don’t do well in the band of my sweatpants.
“But if you want a one n done, the ACOG is the one.”
It’s a little rich for the private sector, no?
Those two are worth more than my collection of M4s.
Yep, though in fairness the ACOG is certainly worth the money, if the rest of your kit is already bought, paid for and dialed-in. I think it was Classic Firearms that recently got a batch of military surplus ACOGs in and blasted out an e-mail to their customers. The lot (a large wooden crate full) sold out in around five minutes at $500 a pop.
The Primary Arms and Burris prism sights in the 3x range seem to be really good alternatives to the ACOG at a fraction of the price, though probably not as bomb-proof. The ACSS reticle is remarkable.
Everything I’ve heard from experienced users of NVODs is that you want them on your head, not on your weapon, at least a GP fighting carbine.
I concur with the 1:7 twist recommendation. This works with heavier bullets for longer range as well as 55gr stuff in close.
Regarding FF handguards, PSA doesn't have the best choices. There is better and more functional stuff to be found through Breek or Phase5 for example.
I have switched my slings mostly to the Magpul MS4 Duel QD. I like to run two point, but I like the ability to switch to single point in less than a sec. Single point is really nice for switching from right to left handed for CQB corners. The rear attachment point is at the lower receiver buffer tube plate, not on the adjustable stock. I have this on all my sling ready lowers: https://phase5wsi.com/sloped-quick-disconnect-end-plate-sqd-ep.html
Oh, and the article doesnt mention a light at all. You really need something. This is new and I have tried it and really like the ergonomics of it: Cloud Defensive OWL Weapon Light. Its a little more than a surefire these days, but has lots of features that make it worth it to me.
A nice fellow named Travis once recommended a Primary Arms ACSS to me. I picked one up off Amazon, and I have to say, I really like it. I wish I’d bought two.
(aka, good luck finding one now)

A pair of these isn't much more than an Aimpoint PRO,and they're available on Amazon. Maybe I'll get a couple.
Thanks.
These Condor rigs aren't very expensive:

Okay, good luck - I should mention, he recommended the 3x model, that’s the one that’s not available. I’m not sure what point there is to a 1x ‘scope’.
I did just find another on Ebay and nabbed it, from a pawn shop in AZ. Hopefully it will turn out to be a good deal. :)
Bump!
I guess they're okay for close quarters. All of the affordable (below $1k) red dots are 1X. It's no worse than iron sights, and you can see it in the dark.
98% of people will not and do not need this type of article. Buy any gun. Pistol, shotgun, carbine, rifle, gas launcher, flare gun ....
Buy a gun you can use and are willing to use.
If your a big time nuts and bolt gun owner, yet go to a public range, encourage, praise, teach .... never compare Peters, I mean guns. Any gun in a citizens hands is the perfect gun.
My 1/7 vs 1/9 vs 1/12 twist for my SHTF bullet weight doesnt help. If someone asks great otherwise STFU
That’s alright but pretty expensive. There are some good 2 MOA red dots out there for not much money. A 1:8 twist will also work with match loads up to 77 gr., and a longer or even heavier barrel is fine for one who gets accustomed to carrying it around much and using it (for places with more visibility, terminal ballistics, etc.).
BTW, a free float hand guard isn’t going to make any appreciable difference for most people other than maybe a really warm left hand. Tacticool dudes with tight slings and a fear of getting dirty like ‘em a lot, though.
