I did not enjoy enjoy the judgmental attitude of the OP.
My own AR HD carbine does have foliage green furniture...because I got a good deal on a used set...and I like it. There is one single rail for a light, still to be decided upon.
When I shoot, it is mostly at 100yds. I like to pick off clay pigeons using the A1 iron sights.
Last summer, an old guy (um, I'm 57) set up next to me. He seemed to look at my AR dismissively as he prepared his '03 Springfield. In a while, he was complaining how his rifle was shooting high...
He was unaware of the 100yd battle sight setting, which I was glad to show him.
Problem solved.
Not everybody shooting a tacti-carbine is clueless. Some funds are too.
