    I'd be hesitant to buy a $30 scope mount that may or may not hold zero or be secure

    Just as your prep works determines the quality of your welds or your paint job the quality of your scope rings will determine if you’re scope holds zero or not (assuming it’s not a $50 scope) so go with quality.

    I agree with this but FWIW I bought a Monstrum quad rail hand guard for my cheap .22 LR upper build and was impressed with how well built it was for the price. It's mostly a range toy and I haven't been too rough on it though so I can't comment on how it holds up to abuse.

    Hmm, picking an optic for my 12.5" 6.8 SPC that currently wears a nilon prostaff 3-9x40, the question is should I go 2-12 or 3-18? I'm thinking 2-12 because standard hunting range is under 150 yards.

    I’ve got an SBR’d CMMG lower and a PSA lower that’s engraved to become an SBR but is in a pistol configuration right now.

    Is fail zero decent? My LGS has their BCGs and figured I’d ask y’all if anybody had some experience with them

    Started with some 1-R-1 drills on the SBR at about 7 yards.

    53E1E7EF-BE0A-4896-833C-6641D9640E81.jpg

    Then started shooting on the move, Mozambique drill, a few runs of the Amy 556 drill, and then the plate rack.
    Total rounds down range about 400 between 9mm and 556.
    I’m also getting better about how quickly I drop the mag when on the move and empty, this one was about 2 steps and I had to pull it out because the steel 20 round mags don’t drop free like my Pmags do.

    154 seems high for the upper

    I have blems for 70 but they’re stripped, upper parts kits are 17 I think

    Yep, I just checked Primary Arms and they have theirs listed for $80 for an assembled upper receiver and $64 for stripped and the parts kit costing $15.
