LOL that's great
You've got 2 different extended mag releases in the pics.V7 3 Gun ambi safety, Magpul BAD, an extended mag release, Geissele trigger, Radian Raptor charge handle and an ERGO TDX 0 grip on all of my ARs.
Gives me some continuity in function across all the guns.

non-Odin is a magpul. Really good feel to it. Pretty much zero slop. I always felt the Odin had a slight bit of slop to it. Too much leverage on the button maybe. At the moment the Magpul is my fav.You've got 2 different extended mag releases in the pics.
What brand is the non-Odin one? I really like that.
I love everything from V Seven - but their extended mag release isn't really my thing. It's just barely bigger than normal so I replaced it.non-Odin is a magpul. Really good feel to it.

There's a couple others I want to check out. V7 and a TruCalibre.
Man, this is a tough question, 88.A little while back, I was watching a vid on a review of a higher end AR and the guy (can't remember who it was now) made the comment that your first AR should be a basic, lower tier shooter grade gun. His idea was that you buy a good AR and then shoot the heck out of it while figuring out what you like and don't like. Make changes and then shoot some more right up until you figure out what works for you and what does not. When you find what you really like, then invest in a higher end rifle that meets those specs.
Sadly, as good advice as that might be, it's not the route I took. I just kept buying ARs in different configs and it took a long time and a bucket of money to figure out what I like. What I've figured out is that I like a PW 14.5" 5.56 with a light free float MLok hand guard, full A2 stock, LaRue M2-TBS trigger, Magpul grip, offset BUIS and 1-6x LVPO. I'm not saying that it's the best config out there, but just that it's the one that I enjoy the most and seems to cover all of my needs pretty well. I have a couple that roughly fit that spec but none of them exactly. The one below is the closest to that spec but is 16" and missing the BUIS so far. I need to consolidate the various parts into a single rifle now.

What about everyone else? What is the config you'd choose to take with you on an extended cross country trip?
Kind of how I felt about the Odin on this latest buildI love everything from V Seven - but their extended mag release isn't really my thing. It's just barely bigger than normal so I replaced it.
I liked the odinworks but it doesn't go well on every build with the looks. That version at least.
I do like the special purpose rifles that I have but have had an itch lately to have that one general purpose rifle. I don't know if that's driven by the general decline of civility, the edging closer to a war of some sort or maybe because I'm just bored.Man, this is a tough question, 88.
My whole philosophy on guns has been about distance, right or wrong. I’ve never tried to find a Jack of all trades. I don’t have a, one gun does it all.
If I’m riding around on the buggy in the day light, I’ll usually have the MPX SBR. It’s tiny, and you don’t even know it’s there.
If I have to go to the metroplex, AKA Dallas/Ft Worthless, I’ll bring the 10.3” Colt 6945. (Hence the screen name)
Living in the woods, the Colt 6920 with the thermal, is always ready to go.
For daylight duties, the MK12 Mod 0 is also at the ready. It is stupid accurate, But big and heavy.
The closest I have to a “one gun”, would probably go to the 6920. I’d leave the thermal on it, and if need be, throw an Aimpoint Micro on it. They both transfer without any significant shift.
THIS MEME HAS NOW BEEN CORRUPTED AND IS INCORRECT ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS.
Im quite late to the party, but Vickers all the way!Is this true? I have several magpul QD slings and they’ve been great, but I’ve never tried a Vickers…
I am definitely sold on the Magpul mag release after using it. Great feel to it. The ridges running across the button are excellent.You've got 2 different extended mag releases in the pics.

I tried the V7 on the 6920. It felt alright but I really didn't like the look on the Colt.I love everything from V Seven - but their extended mag release isn't really my thing. It's just barely bigger than normal so I replaced it.

KE arms has one that's horrible if you don't like that slant. I don't think I'd like it either.I tried the V7 on the 6920. It felt alright but I really didn't like the look on the Colt.
I have a TruCalibre on it at the moment. Feels good. I don't really care for the downward slant of the extension.

Ironically the Odin Works extended I took off the Colt looked the best so far and functioned just fine.KE arms has one that's horrible if you don't like that slant. I don't think I'd like it either.
I'm going to try the original xmr 1 from Odinworks I think.
Or one of these other brands, theirs are all pretty similar - Guntec, Timber Creek, and Sparrow Dynamics. They're all fairly similar.
