Re: Cut off the carry handle?
Yep, I'm happy so far. Dremmel work needs a little "clean up". just sanding and leveling off a it more. But I've always hated that damn carrying handle, LOL. My Colt AR had the removable one, have wanted this off since purchase.
I also cut off the front sight. Going to get folding front sight and rear ghost for when I want to use irons. The strap on the back is connected to the pin/screw that held the adjustable stock (also gone as you see). Arm goes through the loop and the rifle hangs to my strong side. Raise it up, pushing the rifle forward (like leaning back into the strap). I might get a bit longer strap, this one is a bit short for me at 6'1". We all know recoil and muzzle rise are pretty much non-existent with this thing. Since this will be used 50yds and in mostly for squirrel/rabbit gun, sometimes in heavy brush, and plinking rats at the dump, stock not required for me. The RDS will be the key. Mine is a pretty good $60 (something) RDS (Walther PS-22). Works like a charm on other guns, so if dialed in, should be GTG. Certainly NOT going to put a $400+ Aimpoint or EOTech RDS on a $200 gun.
Here it is, the basic. Will continue along, got 3 of the 25 round mags and use the YouTube on getting them "stable". Haven't been to the range today, might have to put that off a few days, busy the next couple and then snow coming for the next couple.
