I appreciate the compliments. I know the trigger guard isn't for everyone but I like trying new parts as I find them.

Nice looking rifle as usual. maybe you shoudl build a ugly one just to switch it up

Bizare man I was just looking at one of those trigger guards online! Any chance of getting a shot from the bottom of the magwell? Curious to know how far it sticks out beyond the magwell base.

That's a damn expensive trigger guard. $115... Know any where to get it cheaper?

Looks great!

Nice Build ! Actually looks different than your other ones, when you listed your collection. I would of liked an Umbrella Corp. Grip on that lower personally, though.But that's just me.I also see that you used a Seekins mag button, why didn't you go with a Seekins Precision Enhanced Bolt Catch ?

What does the trigger guard do? Is it ridged like that so you keep your finger off the trigger until your ready or does it serve some other purpose?

Posted: 7/25/2013 4:29:30 PM EDT

[#23]

good choice on that color.

The only function I can see on the grooves on the trigger guard is to help teach proper finger indexing.
