Well,
this forum doesn't seem to busy so I thought i'd add a little traffic....
O.K. How many of you have mil-specs? Do you plan to upgrade it or are you happy with it as it is?
I was pretty happy with mine but wanted a better trigger and I am now in the process of making several modifications. I figured since i'm putting money/work into it why not make it into the best practical shooter that I can.
When I saw practical I mean it has to both shoot well and be reliable too. I believe this is possible and I don't think every bell and whistle is necessary.
Here is a picture of mine so far:
(My list of mods follows)
