Thanks. I just need 2 XTM covers (1 for each side) and a bipod and it will be complete.
I think I'll turn this into a "post your favorite AR" thread. |

What upper? Looks like my BCM 16"middy with the 12" LaRue freefloat rail. Is that a YHM front sight? The rear looks like an ARMs. I'll post pics tomorrow of mine when I get the chance.

It's a custom PK Firearms RRA upper with a 16" mid-length Wilson barrel (1/7 twist chrome), 12" YHM Diamond Rail, YHM flip sights (front and back), and Vortex flash hider. I almost went with the exact same setup as yours from BCM, but just couldn't justify the extra money. Dang, I just noticed my rear sight is half way flipped. No wonder you thought it was an ARMs. |

No wonder you thought it was an ARMs. Haha! Yeah, it looked like an ARMS 40 at first glance, but I knew damn well that was a YHM up front...got the same one. As for my upper, I got a sweet deal on it from Gunbroker. I only have a little over $650.00 in it. Nice rifle, BTW.

I've got a very similar set up.
DPMS lower, RRA upper, 16" barrel, 12" YHM Diamond rail. Biggest difference is mine is black. That and a few gadgets on the end of mine. |

Carbines and rifles just look funny to me now after I started seeing middy's with rifle length hand guards. I almost ordered an AFG like that, because I don't like the vertical grips. But before I ordered it, I spaced out the XTM panels and I'm really liking the big gaps because it creates the perfect spots for my hands to grip onto. My thumb and fore finger goes right into the gaps on each side and gives me a really solid grip. And if I need more leverage, I can just move my hand down to the next gap. |

Don't get all butt-hurt by my observation. If you like the way it looks, then great! Like I said, though, it seems sorta 'fabulous' to me to color-accent a weapon. (Painting it to reduce that 'black contrast' is another matter.) |

It's meant to be camo, guys. You're not wallpapering your dining room. |

They didn't spray paint their carbines to look good; they spray painted them because black sticks out. Also note that they don't have perfectly matched and spaced out covers on their rails or anything 'cosmetic' like that. But, and I mean this, if it floats your boat, do it! Of course, this is GD, so you're going to get some opinions, like it or not. |

You come in here and call me fabulous because I use plastic to break up the black on my rifle, just as those soldiers are doing by painting theirs. Even if I painted it, you would probably say the same thing about me getting the pattern "perfect". I guess I should just put my plastic on like a retard so that it's ugly enough to be a man's rifle.

Not in the least. Notice my "winky" icon... oh fuck even that came out wrong. For what it's worth, I got the different XTMs to break up the rifle a little. It might come in handy someday, and it's a lot less hassle than painting. |
