Although I ended up buying a set of MI gen2 drop-ins at the LGS 2 days ago. Here she is now at the range. Making sure the HG switch didn't cause a major POI change. Can keep them all in the black at 100 yards when rapid firing in prone, so we're GTG. ETA: Note the ripples in the sand caused by the A2 flash suppressor. |
