Stag lower/upper/16'' barrel aimpoint t-1 w/larue mount 13.8troy rail troy mbuis magpul furniture Hi djburnett! Nice first post! Setting up your rifle is something that is highly personal, and I think you will find yourself in a constant state of adjustment as you buy new gear, try new shooting postitions, etc. My only suggestion is to lose the duct tape mag markers! No point in having windowed PMags with those on there. I get wanting to mark your mags, but you can mark them with a sharpie or a paint pen if you don't want it on there permanently. |

For that matter, don't let me tell you what to do with your rifle either! It's yours–– let it be what YOU need it to be. |

Just a mock up. It's Rustoleum tan. My buddy did a paintball gun in it and his was a lot darker and looked FDE. Oh well. The black is being swapped for FDE this week!

I wish they had clarified their standards because Rustoleum Camo is crap. The guy at Wally World even tried telling me the stuff will fall off if you look at it wrong. I took ArfCom's advice instead. 
On a good note it does seem to darken up a bit after it sits for awhile. |
