My objective with this carbine was to build a KISS rifle with functional upgrades. A big choice point with this was the use of the MOE handguard rather than the traditional quad rail. I really like this approach because the MOE is alot cheaper than a rail however modular enough in that rail sections can be added as needed. I would have opted for a set of LMT carbine handguards but I wanted to use a VFG. I'm also a sucker for detachable carry handles. I like the look and I also like how the handle guides the eye looking through the aperture to the front post.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Upper:</span> LMT 16" stripped upper with LMT full-auto BCG, LMT tactical charging handle, and LMT detachable carry handle
<span style="font-weight: bold">Handguard:</span> Magpul MOE with a 7-slot rail section at 6 o'clock, 5-slot rail section at 9/10 o'clock, Magpul MOE Illumination kit, and a Daniel Defense QD attachment point

<span style="font-weight: bold">Lower:</span> Noveske N4 stripped lower
<span style="font-weight: bold">LPK:</span> Daniel Defense but swapped out the trigger guard with a Magpul Aluminum Enhanced trigger guard (I prefer the feel of aluminum to polymer for this part)

<span style="font-weight: bold">Stock components:</span> LMT stock kit with a Noveske QD end plate
<span style="font-weight: bold">Stock:</span> Magpul MOE with 0.7" enhanced rubber buttpad

Re: KISS carbine build

Nice looking rifle. I have a few more items on my XMAS list from your store and this gave me more ideas
