I didn’t catch that at first either. Even more badass.

Nice build! How is the fit between the Noveske lower, and the BCM upper?

Can I join in as well? I finished the upper the other week, and got some final parts and pieces this week.

That looks sick! What sling you running? And do you like your Insight setup? Can you own that in HI?

Thanks. I use a Magpul MS3. The light and laser is a cool setup that I got for a great price. Not needed, and don't own NODs (yet), but definitely completes the look. It's a training can, pinned and welded to the flash hider, that is pinned and welded to the barrel; making the barrel over 16 inches.

Edit: I would've went with a M300, but I found the M3X for stupid cheap.

Something about that classic look! You thought about painting it? My courage isn't where I need it to be to take a can of spray paint to mine but have thought about it.

Weird flex, but okay.
