Sadly I intended on this on being a KISS rifle. haha. Fordtough, this thread is for you since you're a fellow lover of the 20 inch AR. 
here is how she started her life:
a Bushmaster 20 inch a3 upper with all the goodies: 1/7 CL, government barrel, MPI, etc, etc which was mated onto a complete DS Arms lower with the fixed A2 buttstock. I added the carry handle from my Colt LE6920
the next step was procure a BUIS. I went with the MBUS because I really like the sight on my Colt. I also added the Primary Arms M3 RDS which had been sitting in its box since December.
fast forward a few weeks and I have been completely bewitched by the Magpul Kool-Aid, so I had Patti at TSG order me a set of MOE rifle handguards. I think they look pretty sweet.
this morning i made another trip to Bradis to see Mark (who I am sure is really tired of talking to me by mow
). Like my M4, I added the Miad grip because it completely blows the A2 grip out of the water. I love the stipling and the beefiness of the Miad...makes for a more comfortable and secure grip imo. I also added the Magpul AFG2 and VTAC/Streamlight combo. I have to say I am already impressed by this little light. I like the momentary on feature and the light is much brighter than I anticipated. And then I threw a Bad Lever on there just because. I think the BAD lever is a cool concept and fill go hand in hand with the BCM GF CH. But I will have to buy one for my m4 as well in order to be consistent.
