It's not pretty, I was going for utilitarian, functions and accuracy enhancements. I think I accomplished it.

I, I, I kind of like it.... It's different, it's utilitarian, it kinda has style.

I really dig that you did all of the work yourself. I enjoy doing that kind of thing myself.

I hope that it shoots great for you.

I'll echo the post above mine - really cool you did all the work yourself. Well done.

I kind of love it. Very cool.

That really is pretty dang cool! Functional and good looking! You should be proud!

Wow, talk about a transformation. This is especially handy for those guys that have a couple stock rifles and could dedicate one for something different. That's one hell of an in-house job. I'm not sure how often you'd be using the WML, but do you think it's mounted too far forward and would need a tape switch? Regardless that's a really nice conversion.

I like it...Very nice work!

Nice work! How's it shoot? Have you tried a Flash hider in place of the break? I find the fire ball/ concusion more obnoxious than the recoil.
