    All you need now is a F/A lower and your collection would be a little more complete. Also a Colt x4 scope would help too along with a side mounted starlight scope. But very nice.

    I have a Colt 4x20 scope. Not into the F/A thing since I have nowhere near me that I can shoot it on F/A. Not much sense in having something like that of which you cannot enjoy. A Starlight scope would be sweet to have, but again, not practical for me. BTW, the last time I used a Starlight scope was on a M16A1 back in 1979.

    It is kind of like that. I have an affinity for all of them.

    Makes since with your situation with the F/A. lol I just forget that not everyone else has 1000 acres of land as I do to shoot guns and other things.

    Very nice family photo!
