[Buster]

REAL Nice!
How do you like that Leupold?

nice color combo!

Been looking at the MI Gen II handguard, I like the smaller dia. tube. Any clearance problems between the handguard and gas block?

Nice first AR, the Grendel is an excellent choice, welcome to the Horde.

Nice blaster, and amazing weight point, even with that target Leupold.

I like the MI SS Low-pro handguards as well if weight savings is what you want. I learned that a VLTOR clamp-on low-pro gas block will not fit underneath it, but this gas block is outside the handguard, so no issues should exist.

i didnt have any issues with clearance between the handguard and the gas block...i thought i would at first but theres plenty of clearance...

leupold works fantastic! i would say its just about as good as nightforce but without the price...clean and clear and works flawlessly..
