Grandmaster
Updated photo of my main shooter.
M&P15 Upper and Lower. Started life as an OR upper and has had a few iterations since. CWood installed the 11" Troy free float handguard.
Other specs:
MOE+ Grip
CTR
Troy 2 point sling
Troy Battle Sights.
Aimpoint Comp ML2 4MOA in LaRue Mount
BCM Gunfighter "medium" charging handle.
I really like this handguard. Lightweight, and the smaller diameter allows for a little more overhanded "Magpul" style grip. Prior to that I had a extended carbine rail on this rifle full of XTM's + and AFG. It felt very front heavy and bulky with that set up. This seems to put the balance point back closer to the front takedown pin, even with the front mounted light. I haven't shot any continuous strings of fire to see how it does with heat, so that will be something to test when it gets warmer this spring summer.
I think I will leave the gun a lone for a while. I realize that is pretty much impossible, as I have EBR pretty bad as well as a chronic case of Tinker-itis. I may consider a new optic for the rifle, such as a Aimpoint Micro or similar to go with the slimmer, lighter weight theme of the rifle now.
I wish I would have weighed it in some of its past configurations, but I'm guessing I've taken about a pound out of it with this latest configuration.
