Well, it's all slowly coming together... I ordered and received my Tango Down Vertical Grip for my AR15 and thought I'd share in my happiness. 8-)

It's looking good JS, how many rounds do you have through it so far?
Only about 180 rds so far... I've got to find an outdoor range. There's one outside of town, but it's a "exclusive members only" type of place. I've been there twice, but only as a guest...The owner of the indoor range that I go to invited me to go with him and his son. It was a blast! Only downside is I can't go there without them... So, I'm searching for a place to go. Hell, I'd shoot it every weekend if I had a place to go. It would really be cool to find a place to train for AR competition shooting. I'd do that in a heartbeat. :smt023Quote:

:p - Nice rifle.
I know this is a handgun forum, but we should make 1 section for long guns so we don't have to post in the off topic area :p
Thanks! I'm really happy with it. I really, really, really want to get the EOTech for it... :cool:Quote:

JS,
Nice. I have the TD vertical grip, too.
Just wondering why you have the vertical grip set so far back toward the mag well. Generally, the farther forward you mount it, the faster your splits and target-to-target times will be. Have you tried it against a shot timer yet?
SInce he's only shot 250 rounds thru it, I doubt he's tried it against a shot timer.
Heck, I've been shooting handguns since 1993, and I've never used a shot timer :p
That's kewl. When I get my PS90 (tomorrow, hopefully), I'll be posting my share of comments about it too :P - I'll need a place to post it :p - ALthough, I guess I could use the FN area :pQuote:

That sure is a fine looking weapon you are putting together there JS. Good luck and let us know how things work out with it.
Well come over to Clyde and shoot all you want in my front yard. Can't shoot off the porch or put the windows but other than that I enjoy.Quote:

Or...what the hell, now that I'm thinking about... I may do it now. :rolleyes:Quote:

As I was telling Ship in another thread somewhere.........the EOTECH 511 I have is great. I love it. Here's a picture of what you'll have after you get through buying all the accessories you want!! :smt082 :smt082 :smt082

And how are those rails on the standard handguard working for you, scooter(and what kind)? And what's the optic?
Hey JS, how much did that rail system set ya back? I love the look ya got there! The only thing I would add besides a dot site is a single point sling!
I got the rails here http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ARR054-20857-1887.html and they arent solid enough to mount optics(hand guards move a little) but they are plenty solid for the foregrip.Quote:

Camouflaged for hunting, version 1.0.0 (still working out the bugs on this, but not too bad for a first effort). Black cylinder in center of photo is plastic muzzle cap; gun extends down and to the right. Darker brown tube is bipod leg cover; main barrel/handguard is covered with a camo Gunsock, as is scope; receivers have been draped with camo material hooked over scope; pistol grip and mag have been camo taped; stock was replaced with a Realtree Hardwoods camo model from Bushmaster:
