A red dot scope with a magpul mbus cowitness for example.

Also, you keep your rifles original reciever intact and unaltered/undamaged, which gives you the option to revert the rifle back to it's original form.
Yes my rifle is the old fixed handle type. See below.

My thought was to buy a complete upper including bolt carrier group (though that is a quick enough swap), front sight post and hand guards and bring one or the other to the range depending on what type of ammo I have.
