    Mark, the bipod set up I have is the Versa-Pod® Model 51 7-9" Bipod Short Prone Bipod with Pan/Tilt and Cant Friction Lock Model.
    http://www.versapod.com/m_h/sporting...oducts_pr.html

    The grip that I use is the Versa-Pod Vertical Foregrip Adapter
    Model (150-618). http://www.versapod.com/m_h/sporting...ducts_acc.html.

    The reason I went with this set-up is because I wanted to take some of the weight from the front of the weapon. It was a little front heavy with the Harris Bipod I had. The Versa-Pod that I have pretty much does everything as far as swivels, tilts, and pans and the legs are spring loaded like the Harris. I also like the location of the Versa-pod becasue it is easier to manuever my AR around when I am shooting from the prone position. The further out you have it, the more stability you have, but the closer to the magazine you have it, it is more manuverable.

    As far as the sling, I actually have the front swivel attachment near where the grip-pod is. I just put it like that for the pictures to get the sling out of the way a little more. I don't have any problems with the swivel type attachment. It does tend to rotate some, but once I have it on, it doesn't bother me.

    Is this like stove paint? The high temp stuff that you use on wood or coal burning stoves?? It looks great and looks like it has a smooth matte finish. I guess it would resist the high temps of barrel heat up as well. How many coats did you use?

    I really like Denny. I am going to have him make me a SPR upper soon. I may have him paint the whole thing, including the Larue rails and upper. I'm not sure what he uses to paint his stuff with though.

    I spoke with several people and got tons of great advice on what to use and I even talked to Steve from ADCO Firearms who said regular Krylon Paint works fine. It seems that pretty much any paint that is designed for steel will work.

    When I initially purchased it from Denny's I wanted it black but his stove wasn't working so I just got the Bead Blasted one.

    I definitely like the black better myself. Thanks for all the compliments.
