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. :smt023
You know, it's really a shame that there isn't a AR15 CCW...
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?
That's kewl. When I get my PS90 (tomorrow, hopefully), I'll be posting my share of comments about it too - I'll need a place to post it - ALthough, I guess I could use the FN area

Valid point, but I find that for casual range shooting standing up, farther back like that works better for me, I "tuck in" with it and I keep steadier. But then again, I've got wet noodle computer programmer arms.
Maybe I'll try both next time and see if I notice a difference in target to target transitions..

Well, to be honest... The new grip was so damn tight putting on, I finally got the rifle and my fingers on the grip hooks in the perfect postion and it just slid down into the current position. It took me about 30 minutes to get it there... My fingers were pretty sore after that and I just left in place. I figure I'll adjust it a little when I shoot it again. Or...what the hell, now that I'm thinking about... I may do it now.
Soon as my camera gets back to town (it's on a road trip with the wife right now) I'll take a pic of my AR with the EOTECH on it. 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

I'm sure you can get whatever you can afford :smt082 I just swiped the pic from somewhere else. He must be pretty strong to carry all the crap he's got hangin' on him. :smt082
I'm in the process of obtaining another upper/barrel for mine. It's not worth posting a pic 'til I do. Hopefully gonna finally get it the way I want it and be content.
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.
The red dot is a cheapo BSA 30mm 4moa dot. I got it cheap to see if I even liked red dots and so far its been good! I figure if it pukes on me Ill go with a higher quality/priced one but for experimenting its been great so far.

My 24" Bushmaster hunting rig. 3-9x Burris FFII w/Ballistic Plex, JARD trigger, 24" National Match heavy barrel (chrome lined), Harris bipod (various heights, depending on need).
In the new spring grass, waiting for a varmint workout:
On a bench, B&W portrait:
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:
Your AR project is REALLY coming Lookin' awesome ... :smt023
