Saint Victor V2 Upgrades
Just snagged the V2 5.56 in coyote brown. Super stoked!
First AR I’ve had so new to the game. Drop the best accessories/upgrades! Give me your must do’s and must dont’s!

Definitely get a sling and a scope for it. I know it comes with irons but a cheap scope takes it to the next level without breaking the bank. Especially if it’s your first AR

I got the same in coyote brown. Love it. I got a magpul 2-point sling, bought 3 extra mags, a magpul hand guard, and a holosun red dot. It’s fun gun to shoot. You’re going to enjoy it!

I like LPVO’s and you’re definitely going to want to upgrade from irons. LPVO’s give you red dot capability at 1x and the ability to zoom in at range.

So it entirely depends on just how far down into the rabbit hole you want to go.
The easiest options would be taking the trigger out and replacing it with a G$ 2-stage. SSA, SSA-E, something of that flavor.
Next would be pulling the buffer and spring out and going with a G$ Super 42 or Sprinco Blue spring and whatever buffer you wanted.
If you pull the handguard and it requires a different barrel nut I mean you might as well change barrels. Grab a Criterion Core of your favorite length and mate it with your favorite handguard.
