Boring Saturday watching my kid and her friend...check out my Doomsday Poodle shooter

Basically, this is my "holy crap its on!" heading out to the hellscape AR. My focus on this gun was simplicity and durability.

Basically...

Colt Pencil Barrel Carbine

Aimpoint T2 Locktited and paint penned. Zeroed for 77 grain (which is what I stock)
Magpul BUIS. Locktited and paint penned.
Aimpoint x6 unit
BCM grip (I like the simplicity). I keep some batteries and lens wipes in there.
BCM stock (again, simple but good).
Arasaka Scout light in a mount that attaches to the factory hand guard. I like the old hand guard because it is durable as hell, doesn't get mega hot, and not held on by screws and locktite. I swapped out the click cap for a momentary only.
Vickers sling.

Very nice, gotta love the lightweight pencil barrel (AR6720).

I dig it. My 6720 is my favorite rifle. The balance and super light-ness is awesome.

Have you run any Gen 2 PMags in that one? Mine is just a fuzz too tight to drop Gen 2s freely. It's fine with Gen 3s and USGIs though. Teflon Okays shoot out of the magwell like greased hotdogs.

The Aimpoint 6X magnifier opens up a new world of shooting on RDOs. Super clean glass.

Looks great. When designing the gun, was weight a factor in barrel selection?

I tend to favor medium-heavy profile barrels and don't much care as long as I have a sling.

Noice. Sensible as can be.

Totally. I so want one and have been close to pulling the trigger on it numerous times. Just hard (for me) to justify the $800+ when I can get something like a Trijicon 1-6 for a few bills more.

I like it!

I have a very similar setup. I've had it as my backup rifle for years, and kind of ignored it. During a course last year, my primary choked and I had to switch to the long-neglected backup. In a way, it's my new favorite. It's hard to argue with the stupid simplicity of a pencil barrel and polymer furniture. I'm running an Elcan on mine, and a different light setup, but the principles are the same. It worked great while running around in the woods and shooting pop up Ivans.

The other students in the course handled it as well, and nearly everyone remarked how nice and light it was compared to their beasts (rails, optics, suppressors, etc.)
