After a few weeks of looking, I picked up a new (to me) AR-15. If you guys could help appraise my purchase, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm excited to use it to take out some piggies. My purchase included: Pre-ban Eagle Arms 5.56 AR-15 w/ custom paint job Yukon NVRS 2.5x42 Tactical Gen2+ night vision scope Bushnell Sport holographic sight Custom trigger job (one I haven't seen before, any insight?) Bipod Foregrip Collapsible stock Three 30 round mags

Same here... Best guess would be to keep from yanking to one side when you pull the trigger, using more than one finger prpb ends up in a smoother pull. But idk

Never seen that trigger either. Post a pic on arfcom......someone there will know about it. The preban lower itself is worth about $800 if sold on a nationwide site like arfcom. The bushnell only about $150ish NV....dont know but ya could look it up What is the finish used in the paint job? Duracote or cerakote run $200 and up for multi colors Stock...nothing special, lust a basic set up
It there a brand name on that trigger/grip set up?

Looks like a paintball trigger so someone could flutter two fingers for faster fire...

According to the link it's some type of actuator that fires when the trigger is pressed, and fires when it's released.

I have a similar trigger that came with an AK47 I purchased back in the late 80's. It's an accident waiting to happen. Be very careful with it.

I think you may have overpaid somewhat. Personally, I'd keep the night vision and sell off everything else separately and get a different rifle. That trigger is a disaster waiting to happen and the "custom paint" looks like its just rattle can and stencil.

That trigger is a disaster waiting to happen and the "custom paint" looks like its just rattle can and stencil. I don't know. I presume the night vision works, in which case I think he did pretty good. I'd take off that trigger and grip and put something else on there. and then you are ready to roll. Hell, OP I think I have an extra milspec FCG I can send you if you are interested. PM me if interested.

The NVRS 2.5x42 is "out of print", but if it actually has a gen2+ intensifier tube then he probably got the rifle for next to nothing. Even if it's an old gen1 then he still probably didn't overpay just on a "sum of parts" basis. I am wondering about that [censored]-eyed buttstock, though...

Looks like a M4 butt stock with a CAA saddle on it and a butt pad on it.
