BTW - whatdya think about my bushy m4?  :)

Nice clean looking rifle.  Good job.

I can see it, nice rifle.

You done good. And a fine looking rifle it is.

very nice rifle [:)]

Thanks guys.  I like to keep the gadgets to a minimum.  (K.I.S.S. theory)  The only other gizmo that I can think of a practical application for would be a weapons light.  I was thinking of a streamlight M-5 w/ remote pressure pad on one of those short picatinny rails that bolts through the bottom holes of the handguards.  ...that and a new sling system and I'll be done.  Hopefully.  I think I changed just about everything on the rifle since I got it.  All I need to do is get a stripped lower and a spring/detent kit and I could have another rifle!

sweet!  pic posted perfect.
