To be honest, I think it would be hard for me to post a picture saying that my images are "high quality".  I've got a lot of work which is published in catalogs and magazines, but I think it is still highly subjective as to what is a high quality image, and what is not.  

You guys are more than welcome to browse through my Flickr gallery and if you see something you feel meets the definition, to post it in the thread, but I would rather not say that anything of mine is overly special.

High Quality Pics and humble too... If you won't say it, I will. Stickman produces some of the "Highest Quality" pics I've ever seen.

What a modest man!
All your work is high-quality, and it's always something to look forward to when it pops up on my news feed on Facebook.
Keep up the good work.

Stick I don't think pictures of ARs get any more high quality.  Maybe there is an argument that can be made that your images can be matched with other photographers, but I have yet to see what you can't do with AR pictures.  Love my facebook feed of your stuff by the way

For me, getting (back) into shooting is a somewhat recent hobby, but photography is something I've been into most of my life.  Feel free to critique my website (pjmatthewsimages.com) as you wish.  In my opinion, you are both a creative and highly talented photographer.  Great photography is many things, but arguably mostly based on the control and use of lighting.  Few others (there are a couple) who have posted photos here have used lighting in the way you do.  I haven't had a lot of practice shooting my rifles, but you would certainly be the one photog I would emulate when I decide to compose, light, and shoot some for myself!

The angle and composition are just boring, try to use natures natural contours the rifles straight forms to create composition and depth.

Just finished my SBR today.  Tax Stamp arrived a week ago.  She is ready to rock and roll!  I am so excited!  I am glad to be part of the NFA family now!  The craziest thing is that I absolutely hated the wait, but once I got that tax stamp in my hand I wanted more almost immediately... Suppressor next!  This is my very first tax stamp so I have been fondling it for the last week....my wife keeps rolling her eyes when she sees me around the house with it (including the john..lol) but I just keep smiling.  Here is what I have on the build so far:

Upper:  VLTOR MUR-1 w/ assist and deflector
Lower:  Complete VLTOR VR lower with oversize magazine release
Stock:  VLTOR Mod Stock (Dark Earth)
Pistol Grip:  Tango Down Large Battle Grip (Dark Earth)
Trigger Guard:  Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard (Dark Earth)
Magazines:  Magpul P-Mags of course...(Dark Earth)
Buffer Tube:  VLTOR 5 Position (Numbered in white)
Buffer/Spring:  Spikes Tactical Heavy Buffer
Charging Handle: Bravo Co Gunfighter Large Latch
BCG:  Spike's Tactical Nickel Boron Bolt Carrier Group
Hand Guard:  VLTOR CASV-MT Carbine Free Float Hand Guard (Dark Earth)
Barrel:  Ballistic Advantage LLC.'s 7.5"  Stainless Steel and Chrome Lined
Muzzle Brake:  Juggernaut Tactical Righthand Tactical CQB Brake
Gas Block:  Sadlak Industried .750 Low Profile Clamp on Gas Block
Gas Tube:  Spike's Tactical Pistol Length
Forward Grip:  Surefire Light/Vertical Grip Combo with I.R. Lens Cover (yes that is a hint at whats going on her next week)
Selector:  Battle Arms B.A.D.A.S.S. ambi selector
Optic:  EOTech XPS2-0 "CQB" Brownells Edition Reticle w/ QD mount
Irons:  Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (Could not get a full co-witness with flip up sights, so had to go with the RTS sight)
Rail Covers:  Magpul XTM Covers (Dark Earth) and Magpul XT Covers (Black)
Sling:  Magpul MS3
Sling Mounts:  One VLTOR QD Mount and One Magpul Rail Mount Attachment

So here it is as it sits today.  The only change that I may make is the muzzle brake.  I have a Noveske KX3 in the mail to be delivered by UPS on Monday.  I guess I will try both and see which one I like or my rifle likes and stick with that.  I am leaning towards the Juggernaut brake as it really looks nasty on there!  Here she is:

Hallstar606,

    It only comes on the VLTOR lower receiver.  The receiver is actually a little different than most.  I don't know if anyone else out there makes em, but as I understand it is proprietary to VLTOR lowers only.
