I took some of the .22s out this weekend. Good (relatively cheap) fun.

So many Hi-Powers, I love those guns. I kick myself for selling mine.

Rick, how's that bullpup RJF?



16.5" MSAR Stg556 and my 10.5" 5.56 SBR. Redeyes says if there is an zombie outbreak or old ladies try to take over, he's grabbing that one.



7.5" 300 Blk Out SBR 24" OAL - Old Ladies get squirrely, I'm grabbing this.

My RTF frames.

Behold my new and improved Sig 516! My birthday is coming up so I figured to take the plunge and drink the Kool-aid (and boy is that Kool-aid good!) on a few things to perfect my Sig.

My Gen 1 Sig has had zero problems, is accurate, reliable, and all around a great AR and I am a fan of the real or perceived benefits of a piston over DI. My biggest complain was that the rifle in stock configuration is front heavy with very little rail space and I just dont dig looking at the weird polished gas block where rail space should be. This bugged me to the point that I seriously considered trading or selling it. Luckily lancer came out with a carbon fiber replacement rail, which is the only option as of now for Sig 516/517 owners. On paper the rail is an ounce heavier but I don't feel it at all. This rail completely changes the handling and balance of this rifle for the better. Installation wasn't too bad but I heard a crack when tightening the lower screws and found a piece of aluminum is popping out. I emailed lancer to see if this will compromise the reliability of the rail system, still no word yet but it pisses me off that I paid $300 for this to crack like that. I was following the directions and everything, the side screws still had slack in them even so it was not like I was just going crazy over tightening.

I also took a sip of the Larue Kool-aid and picked up a mount for a brand new Comp M2 I picked up from a guy for $300! The stock mount was pretty heavy, and I hate the protruding thumb screw. The Larue mount is light and rock solid, I had good experience with my American Defense mount for my Primary Arms micro clone but decided to spend the extra money to see if Larue was as good as everyone says they are. The cool Larue swag that comes with your order is almost worth the premium, I got a cool lightweight aluminum armadillo "beverage entry tool" 2 bumper stickers, some dillo rub steak seasoning, and 3 hand held copies of the constitution. I think Larue lives up to the hype and I am looking forward to my next purchase with them and giving my money to such a high quality Texan owned and operated business.  

I picked up a surefire M300 scout light, this thing is featherlight. It only runs on 1 battery but gives 200 lumens. I mounted this on a Haley Strategic Partners Dropwing which is also crazy light. It mounted pretty securely to my rifle but since there is kind of a flare to the edge of the carbon fiber tube there is a slight pointing of the light and mount away from the rifle but it is not noticeable at all. With a piston rifle keeping it well balanced and avoiding front heaviness is hard but I think with this combo and the Larue/M2 I achieved it. I highly recommend this mount, the Dropwing screws into venting holes, ports, or rail slots but you can get their rail mounted version the "Thorntail" if you prefer. Both will mount very flush to your rifle.

The VLTOR emod I picked up used for $60, I always lived the clubfoot look and the check weld on VLTORs. It balances the rifle very well, but the previous owner did confirm that the gap between the stock and battery tubes does pinch beards so beware of that potential buyers.

Please excuse the tacticool background, I am posting these on an arfcom thread on this new stock dont want to break the unofficial picture rule lol








 

Very nice! What flash hider is that? Is that KA-Bar vintage WWII?
