Save your money and buy a mount for the aimpoint instead.  AFG is a waste of money on that set up.

Among other things, the choice to leave the front handguards there. You can grip standard M4 handguards comfortably with a high "supination" posture. At least in my experience, AFGs are most useful on longer rifles with rails.

Maybe a magpul VFG then?

I'll probably get the AFG, and If I don't like it on the M4, I'll put it on the 416.

If you put on MOE handguards, that would be fine. I personally prefer the Tango Down stubby VFGs over the MagPul grips.

That being said, these are all going on a toy. In the end, it's entirely up to you!

I remember how Henry said that if you put a red dot on a riser with a retractable stock, it's harder to use because of the low cheek rest. Should I get a CTR stock sniper cheek rest? If so, high or low profile?

Mistake #1: Listening to Dom!

A cowitness mount would put the red dot at the same vertical position as your existing ironsights. You hardly need a cheek rest to use those, and you won't need a cheek rest to use a cowitnessed red dot.

I said that about them IF you have a rail riser that adds an extra inch or so ABOVE the ironsights Steevo, not about all mounts or mounts without risers ;).

And revised again...

I do realize the pointlessness of this which is why I'm seeing if I can get a QD aimpoint mount. If not, It'll be this. It'll be unique, that's for sure.

If you do set it up like that, at least take a hacksaw to the carry handle mount.
