A good site. Their articles on ANTIFA communication and field organization are also worth one’s time.

Keep it simple, and do it right. A lot of the new gun owners, and idiots in general have every attachment they can buy and will either get snagged on something, or not remember which button to push when SHTF.
Both my and the wife’s ARs have collapsible stocks, low power scopes, flip up iron sights, and bipods for longer distance work. Bang bang.
Aah, gun porn. And so early in the morning!
ACOG. PVS-14.
Those two are worth more than my collection of M4s.
Sorry, I'm on a budget.

Interesting article! Nice post!
ACOGs run well over $1,000. An Aimpoint or Eotech is less than half that. Put the difference into training and range time.
Not even gonna get into the 1/7 to 1/9 debate. And as for actually finding case lots of 77 grain OTM ammo, good luck. Last I checked it was $1.00 a round or so.

“The other reason I run the ACOG is for another type of interface with my PVS-14.”
That’s my problem with articles like this. Who has $3,000-$4,000 just for optics? This dude must be made of money. Find a decent AR pattern rifle, (yea, I know. Good luck), put a decent red dot on it. Get a sling.
Then learn how to use the damned thing. Competence and confidence will more than make up for your lack of high dollar attachments.

I have an A1 rifle that I am very comfortable with.

“Both my and the wife’s ARs have collapsible stocks, low power scopes, flip up iron sights, and bipods for longer distance work. Bang bang.”
My AR-7 is super simple. I keep it stowed in a waterproof case (Nanuk 923) with three extra clips, 100 rounds of extra ammo and a good scope that has quick detach mounts. Lots of fun in a small package.
Pity our local range just closed this week (sold to the Sheriff’s Department).
My two Colts got the plastic Magpul flip-up rear sights, Vickers slings, and Aimpoint PROs. That's as much as I can spend on them. The rest get the cheap slings that go on the factory swivels, and Bushnell TRS-25s on co-witness risers.
That's a "budget" battery.It cost a bundle, but it's nothing compared to *one gun* in this article.
He has photos of a Trijicon ACOG mounted behind the PVS-14.
$3,200 for the PVS-14 and $1,500 for the ACOG. He also had a laser mounted, and not one of the cheap pointers, but one that shows up in thermal imaging.
That's easily $5,800 in gadgetry. We'd love to have it, just can't afford it.
I do have a Vortex flash supressor. I never got around to mounting it and now it's in storage.
Do a 36 yard zero on that PRO and you’ll be able to hit anything from 25 yards to 300 without having to memorize holds.
I have an older Comp ML2 but the wife has the PRO. Solid red dots for a price that doesn’t break the bank.
