    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    Thanks. It was a spur of the moment thing. It was taken with an iPhone 6(?)

    A high key shot of my new KAC and T2. Maybe too tight a crop.

    I agree the shot is a tad on the tight side. The offset mount is killing the linear look and feel to the pic, expanding the pic out a bit further should help with that.

    I like this picture from a recent M5 build for a few reasons. It shows a lot of details on the gun without being too busy looking. I also like the way that the natural lighting highlights the contours adds some depth to the picture. Lastly, the the angle of the shot is a little more artsy than squaring it up with the frame.

    Same crappy potato device, trying for a "Gunshop Counter as Natural Habitat" thing with some help from a preferred FFL. Hopefully I've improved a little...
