Pics of my recently finished 2nd AR

[wishywashy]

This is a pic of my most recent project, It's a Bushy.

Nice!

How do you like the G27 grip?

[wishywashy]

I like it. You can grip it a little higher than the standard A2 grip, it gives you more of a feel of control, and it's very comfortable. The finger grooves have a stippled feel to them, even my sweaty palms won't lose there grip.

Who is that grip made by? I've got Tango Downs, and love them, but that doesn't look too bad.

You screwed up the link. You can't click it. Please edit for others.

Thanks!

Also, I forgot to mention that I REALLY, REALLY like what you have done with the Aimpoint.

I have a "beater" that I'd like to add optics to, but I'm trying to keep costs down. However, I think that a RAS may be in order so I can mount a CompM on a Cantilever like that. I thought about the ARMS gooseneck, and that would be cheaper, but, that just looks good. And the bad thing is, if I get the RAS, then I'd end up with a M962, the a TD VFG, then...

Okay, note to self: stop it -- keep it in the $400 beater realm!

You bastard -- detach that pic and stop tempting me!

Actually, that's a YHM 2 piece rail system, only 109.00 shipped, that's cheap, you know you want one.^~



Those handguards fit extremely tight, so they don't shift on you. Even if they shifted a little, an Aimpoint is a CQB sight anyway, so it wouldn't shift your point of aim enough at inside 50 yards to matter. I've roughed that gun up pretty good and never had a problem with them yet.

[USMCsilver]

I am, indeed, an Aimpoint fan and do love the repeated accuracy from them. For some odd reason, I am biased against YHM stuff. Call me funny, but that's just me.

I'm up to 3 Aimpoints; I think I gotta get an abused one for my beater...

I'm callin ya funny.^3




One more note, that Aimpoint on the cantilever mount co-witnesses perfectly on the handguard rails.

Some serious gun porn on this thread! Thanks! You've given me some good ideas for mounting an Aimpoint on one of my "naked" A2's.

[get2now]

Just had to throw in my most recent project. Many different brands for parts but it was built around the Holosight mainly for the USPSA 3-Gun Nationals coming up in October.

Those are flattops dude! I'm trying to figure out what to do with an old SP1 carbine with fixed carry handle. I think I might give an AP mount on YHM handguards a shot (pun intended). Of course I need to buy ANOTHER aimpoint in order to do this (you guys are killing me).

[wishywashy]

I just love the look of the A2, I've got a flat top Colt, but I love the profile of a carry handle.



Gorelicks, how do you like the ACOG? I've thought about trying one. Is that Aimpoint on a Larue mount?

[RMTactical]

Sorry, didn't know you only wanted A2's. I'm not a huge fan of A2's and I usually discourage people from getting A2's, in general. Although, for my third AR, I am going with an A2 upper (sometimes I wonder if I should have).

Neither of those guns are mine. I assembled them for a couple friends of mine. Both use the LaRue mount, I believe LaRue is the hands down best mount there is, ACOG or Aimpoint.

I love my ACOG. I have a TA31 like the one pictured in there. Target acquistion is super fast at a longer range. I use mine on my M4 to hunt coyotes and I was able to hit a coyote from about 50-60 yards once, and then again on the run. He went down hard on the second shot.

For anything at a longer range/outdoors the ACOG is the best. For indoors, the Aimpoint is hard to beat.
