My New AA T16 Photos

I recently got me one of them new Alexander Arms Tactical 16s, with some modifications, and thought you guys might want to see it. I've only shot it at 25 yards with the iron sights so far, but it's the best iron-sight shooting I've ever done. That ain't sayin' much, I know! (Grouped half inch or so in the bulls-eye, and I got pretty good at picking off empty shotgun shells, too!) I've got a feeling it's going to be a shooter!

I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to most things, including guns, so I hope to keep this as simple and clean as possible. Might not be able to resist a VFG, but, in general, if it's not going to help me in a Search & Destroy mission against Bambi Cong, I probably won't add it!

First up are left and right "mugshots." I've got a Midwest Industries mid-length, free-floated railed handguard on it with Magpul ladder rail protectors on the sides and a Magpul XT rail panel on the bottom. I like the solid rail panel on the bottom because it's more comfortable; I feel that panels on the sides would make the grip too fat.

Next is a view showing the Troy Industries flip-up rear sight, among other things, such as the Falcon Industries Ergo pistol grip. When I get the money, I plan on mounting something like a 4-12x40 scope on it (haven't decided which yet) in a LaRue Tactical SPR quick-detach mount. I suppose I could steal the Nikon off my Sako, but I'm in no hurry since I'm out of frickin' ammo!

Here's a view through the sights out my living room window. Thought it was kind of interesting.

Note the F-marked front sight tower. The Midwest Industries rails are rock-solid, no play at all; I like 'em. Nicely machined; very good stuff for the money.

I've got an Vltor Clubfoot stock in coyote brown, as with all the furniture. Love the ample cheek weld with the storage compartments attached. Note the hole on the top which allows you to see the number of the position you've set the stock at.

And finally, what would some photos of a 6.5 Grendel rifle be without also showing a few rounds of the World's Best Assault Rifle Cartridge?

Hope you enjoyed these! More to come when I get it scoped.
