    Default Like a kid at Christmas waiting on my Bison upper!!!

    After many weeks, probably months of reading tons of posts and reviews, I finally chose to go with the 6.8 cal. upper from Ben at Bison! I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas and can't wait to shoot this thing! It's only been two weeks and Ben said it might take up to six for the barrel to come in, but boy am I anxious for this thing to get here!!! Here's the choices in my upper:
    • 20" SPR 6.8 Bare Stainless Match Grade Barrel
    • Upper Receiver: Mega Forged
    • Forearm: JP Modular Rifle
    • Muzzle Options: PRI QC Brake Black Tapered
    • Headspaced Bolt: LWRC ACB
    • Bolt Carrier: Young Mfg Chrome Match
    • Staked Carrier
    • Gas Block: YHM Low Pro
    • Charging Handle: Mega Billet
    I've already built my lower with the following:

    • Palmetto State Armory Lower
    • PSA Lower parts kit
    • Geiselle SSA-Enhanced Two Staged Trigger (boy do I think I'm going to like it!)
    • Magpul MOE grip
    I am trying to decide on my stock. More than likely I am going with the Magpul brand, but tossing around whether to go with a rifle PRS stock or one of the 6 position carbine options.

    Any suggestions on the stock to go along with what I've already purchased?

    Depends on what you're using it for. Looks like you're going for accuracy and not too concerned about weight. If that's the case, the PRS fits nearly perfectly, but if you want to shave weight, go with a carbine option. What length buffer tube do you have, carbine or rifle?

    I haven't bought the buffer tube, etc. yet as I was still debating on the stock. I did already buy the Magpul ASAP ambidextrous sling mount that afterwards I realized it will not work with the PRS stock. I was dead set on the PRS until I realized that the ASAP would not work with it. I hate to waste a $30 purchase.

    Sounds like a great build. Dont worry about wasting that sling mount though, cause you're gonna end up building a whole new rifle around it!!!
