Keep it somple

Night sights and a light

or a good optical sight, and a light.

There are several good rail systems. Yankee hill makes some damned good rails, for a damned good price.


Eotech sights are good

Pentagonlight makes good lights.

Eotech
YHM Rail
Vertical Grip
Light
sling

and you're set

Probably the best accessory you can get to go with that new piece is a Tactical Carbine Class to learn how to use it.

Other than that, the Kiss system works.

Nice Stag. A top notch M4gery.

The options depend on what you want to use the rifle for.

The biggest mistake people can make is to add too much weight to the rifle. If all you want is a light, you may not want a four rail system....perhaps just a rail for the bayo lug.

If you want to hang some optics off the front handguard, then you need a solid railed tube. If you aren't comfortable with taking apart the gas system, that may cost you money to send her out.

Do you want irons, optic, or both? You can get a sleeve that mounts to your carry handle to put a C More or Eotech over your handguards and cowitness with the irons.

Vert grips are perfect if you want a light with a push switch. Otherwise, they slow down target to target transitions for most people.

Currently, I'd say the only accessory you really need is...

Ammo.

personally, i hate the stock A2 grip...i'd recommend replacing it with a magpul grip.

What you REALLY need is:

A trijicon ACOG with a Doctor optic sight mounted on top of it

Back up sights

an ARMS SIR forend, with atleast 2 types of tactical light.

A laser that has your choice of red, green, or IR laser.

a compass mounted at the 9 o'clock position so you can navigate while you have your gun shouldered

Bayonets are a defenite

A superstealthtacticalnavysealgreenberet 9 point sling



Oh....wait.....this isn't Arfcom?

disregard.

Stag Arms, good stuff man. Id keep that T-6 stock, watch out with the optics though, you have a carry handle on your "upper" and if you mount it off of that it may be very high along the line of sight! Just dont put alot of stuff on it and make it look like a flea market! hehe Vertical grips are nice for controll also. Just find one you think would fit the best in your hand. Check out tapco's SAW pistol grip as well.

Just cut the duckbill off the A2 grip. I have three laying around that are brand new if anyone wants to experiment.

A ciener .22 conversion kit. Makes for inexpensive practicing.

You need a good sling for that carbine. I recommend the BFG/Vickers Combat Applications Sling.

I also recommend 5 or 6 mil-spec magazines, each thoroughly tested for feeding reliability and drop-free function.

After that, I recommend a FIRE Institute Basic Tactical Carbine class.
