That'll work just fine..............I like BCM stuff, also a fan of ADM mounts.
That B5 stock works & I have one, but I prefer a little more cheek weld surface.............BCM's SOPMOD MOD 0 is a nice compromise, IMO, w/o going to something more along the lines of an LMT SOPMOD or Magpul STR.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Good components all around. What kind of trigger do you have in it?

Its a BCM PNT trigger. I think it’s essentially a mil-spec trigger that’s been polished and has a nickel teflon finish.

Very nice.
Let us know how it shoots.

That's an excellent, no-nonsense rig. Very similar to a couple that I have.

I also have an 11.5 inch “pistol” that is set up nearly identically, but with an Aimpoint and a brace. Its loud!

I'm with 'Sniper. Lots of good looking rigs out there. Minute of man to 600 is good (2 MOA) but 1 MOA or less is better. I have a 5.56 carbine from Sgt of Arms in Fort Worth, TX that shoots better than all of my other 5.56 rifles, and it wasn't much money. Very nice.

The shorty is sweet. The only version in stock was the with the keymod handguard. Not sure if I’ll ever put it through enough abuse to fail, but I do prefer the M-Lok version.

KeyMod has worked better for me as long as you buy correct accessories built right, they are supposed to have a built in stop and only go on one direction.
Mlock has had 2 of the nuts turn on me ruining the accessory on both and the rail on one but it was a plastic SL hand guard. Don't sweat the KeyMod.
Both are very nice guns.

Both are very nice guns. Exactly. Key mod worked for many years. Some say M-Lok is is better/stronger, but I'm not going to change all of my key mod handguards. The nice thing about Key mod is you can find some damn good deals on them now. I believe my last few handguards purchased were Key mod. This includes my most recent BCM.. Those KMR handguards are pretty sweet:

And BTW, we have very similar tastes. After seeing your light configuration, I figured I try the pressure switch and see if they are better than they used to be.

Just a heads up, did I ever mention I hate pressure switches? Well I do. Went out the other night and the ProTac just didn't seem as bright, figured it was a weak battery. Changed the battery and it still wasn't as useful as my TLR1-HL 1000 Lumen light on another gun. Got home and ordered another TLR1 and pulled the light/pressure pad off my gun and stuck the clicky cap back on it, viola! back to being as bright as I remembered it being. Prowling around on the net, I found this to be a known problem with Streamlight and Surefire switches.
I ordered a different mount and will try the ProTac again but with the clicky cap.
