    Can not wait to see it painted. What did the JP LMOS carrier save you in weight?

    This is a really cool idea. Looks pretty well executed; please let us know how it shoots!

    What kind of rail is that, and how do you like it?

    It's a Troy 11" TRX BattleRail.

    Updated pic. This morning I changed out the sights and put on a set of fixed Daniel Defense sights and a SureFire X300 mounted at 12 o'clock in front of the front sight.

    NICE! I like it.

    What if you drilled out the Aimpoint mount? How about an A1 grip? Perhaps a few holes in the stock and maybe the receiver extension?

    A very interesting exercise.

    Are you concerned about shooting NATO pressure ammunition with the LMOS carrier? Is that a potential mis-match?

    No. In a CAR length maybe, but no problem in a midlength.

    Very cool! I have been thinking of a very similar build - nice to see it out of the minds eye.
