Do you have an optic on it? I've been running Irons and was going to put an LVPO on it, but I feel it gets too cramped near the charging handle.

I just put in a vortex red dot on mine and thinking of putting a LPVO on mine soon as well. From what I’ve heard is if ur gonna go with a LPVO is to get a cantilever mount so u don’t have to fight with the charging handle as much. Even with how I have my red dot it’s kinda in the way but it’s tolerable.

Thanks for the heads up. I got home today pretty excited to mount the scope and then realized quite quickly that I'll be taking my Irons off and then sacrificing my fun slap action. I can make it work, but... I think I'd be giving up more of what I want out of this thing just for the sake of the scope.

I hear ya, but as a gen 1 rifle it’s pretty good overall imo, if they do a gen 2 I hope to see the charging handle moved forward like a proper HK to solve that issue. That and a magwell that isn’t so picking with gen 2 PMAGS and other similar mags.
