ive never seen such a bad ass rifle on such a horrible background.

my eyes could barely adjust to see the bad ass rifle, then when they did, my mind could'nt dump the bad memory of the background

Pics of my latest. I did however switch the KAS grip for a AVG. I really like the Matech 600m rear iron this thing.

QFT. That is abrasive and my eyes demand an apology

Just trying to be different. But it makes for interesting comments.

What mag coupler is that, and does it work well?

And why is the mag upside down? Never seen that before. Well, I guess I have seen AK mags taped together that way, but for a different reason. Why upside down with a coupler?

The brand is MAG GRIP, and it works awesome. My friend was issued it in Afghanistan, and brought it home for me.

Because I put it on wrong . I'm new to the whole mag coupler thing,

Oh ok-- I thought maybe it was a new technique I was unfamiliar with (there are lots ).

I've gone back to the vert. grip idea. I don't want a angled vertical grip; I'm not finding it wieldy and grip-able enough. PLUS, I find I grip just about the same with the vert. grip anyways. I feel I wasted my money.

The FLack did you have that on a BOAT for?

BTW, I don't understand why people try to set up AR's (Assault Rifle's) for long range encounters when a good .308 or .300mag etc are so much more effective.

Good point. I bought the gun set up like this. I have thought about taking the scope off along with the tripod and handguard and adding some sights and a lighter handguard. Havent really made up my mind yet.

Mostly I think they set them up that way because it looks good though.

Most people just shoot targets. 5.56 is cheaper, less recoil, and performs as well as most casual shooters will ever need.

It's easier to put 100 rounds into paper targets with a gun like that in an evening than doing it with a .300 Win Mag

But, AR stands for ArmaLite...

He's only joking.

AR's (Assault Rifle's)

It's a common misconception, but "AR" does not stand for Assault Rifle. In fact, ARs are NOT assault rifles at all-- M16s and M4s are. Assault rifles are select fire (meaning full-auto or burst), while AR-15s are the semi-automatic civilian versions of those rifles.

Unfortunately the media likes to classify all "scary looking" guns into the 'assault rifle' category, which is where we see this myth perpetuated.

Don't. With that long heavy barrel and big gas block you wouldn't want to run that like a traditional CQB carbine. That gun is setup as a distance shooter, so use it that way. If you want something that handles better off-hand, add an M4-style carbine to your collection.

Maybe some day.

Blah, I don't have anything that I just shoot targets with. I only shoot targets to keep myself familiar with the weapon for when I need to shoot other things.

WoW.... Learn something new every day. I've shot/had guns since I was like 6 (ungh over 27 years ago) and I've just recently started getting an itch of the "Black Rifle Disease".

He's only joking.

Well, I would consider my AK an assault weapon and my SKS is borderline. Either way I'll gladly shift my viewpoint of these and thank you guys for fixing my very wrong impression that AR was Assault Rifle.... I guess I'm a momo about the big bad AR's.
