Nice work. I like the pistol grip, it looks a lot more comfortable to shoot.

I have always wondered about the feed ramp mod. I know you are supposed to loctite it but I still worry about heat softening it up and that screw backing out.

Sweet. I left the trigger on mine in the original position so the gun could easily be returned to stock. Love to shoot it. Pick up a 20 rd. drum mag. You will not regret the expense.

It is really pretty easy! It took me a little over an hour, which included letting the paint dry.
