Just arrived this evening. It's is a quality piece as jjrock claims. Comes with one key mod picatinny rail, allen wrenches and what appears to be a locking agent.

The rail markings are more grey than white but not really an issue with me.

What are you going to use for sights/optic?

Looks like a nice setup! That rail is easy to remove for maintence vs some of the other free float configurations. I locktited the two hex screws that clamp it to the barrel nut, it never came loose.

How's the gas block/ tube alignment? Have looked hard at the freedom uppers, but never found much reliable info.

Nice set up and clean looking. I have one of the freedom SS mids in stock trim and it works just fine.

You're the 2nd person to ask me that. Months ago AIM surplus had a big sale on the Primary Arms MD06/MD06L Micro Red dots for under $50. I only hear good things about them and one valued member claims it's the best red dot under $200.

Mine has a removable base and I can add an optional basic riser ($20). They have upgraded the optic and I believe this is the current replacement model for $90. https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_Micro_Dot_Removable_Base_Gen_II_NV_p/md-rbgii.htm

It seems to be GTG, air flows freely through the gas tube and I wouldn't expect it to be an issue from a reputable manufacturer. But if function issues occur then it's a check list item.

That red dot looks almost exactly like my Bushnell TRS25. I got several of those from PSA during the black Friday sales last year for about same price. I have them on several different guns including a 22lr pistol. I've never had a parts issue with PSA with the many I have built. Only manufacture that I have had an issue with was Anderson's on a bolt catch pin being oversized.
