Flash forward to today... I'd shot it for basically a year, and it worked flawlessly, but I really don't like the ARMS#40L as a primary aiming device. I wanted to move up to a quality red dot but it took a while to find one.

Finally I found a deal on an Aimpoint CompM2 on a Larue LT-129 and it was too perfect to pass up.

Here it is, as it is currently set up:

if I'm not mistaken, the mid-length handguards with a 16" barrel retains the proportions of the 20" rifle, yes?

either way I like it. nice rifle.

Mid-length guards to house the mid-length gas system.

actually I meant the aspect ratio; the distance from the muzzle to the front sight.
