Exactly. Who said it was about looks? If that was the case, we both said FSPs look badass - so we would be in support of them.
But...as we both said, all FSPs do is hinder functionality. There's zero reason for them to be there on an optics equipped rig. Even on an irons only equipped rig, I'd still opt for KAC folding irons or DD fixed irons. Both are lighter, just as functional, and I can't stress enough - I do not want an exposed gas block, period. |

I like flattops for being able to see as much of the FOV through the optic, but damn, the FSP block II does look good

I love my glass, but dammit irons are good for the soul. favorite rifle is a plain Jane FN A2 clone. ;) The force required to remove the pins on an FSB, I just can't see being worried about an exposed had block as an issue. Then again, I'm just going to the range, not kicking in any doors. |

Since this one comes with a black RIS II, I had the idea to do an all black clone. I already have a black M3X and dual pressure switch. Next up for this one is a black EOTech 553 and DBAL-D2! http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t281/drb022/2_zps0a62e1c8.jpeg I would just take that rifle, change the 16" barrel for a 14.5" one and then get the optic you want. And then finally paint the whole thing a desert tan. |

I'd leave the LMT stock alone IMO, unless you're really hardset on the QD. With that said, the LMT's color is more clone correct (in a sense) than B5's, which is way lighter. |

Mine was removed by Adco once when I moved from the RAS to the RIS II. Once I got the FH556-RC, I revived it myself, threads on the barrel were rough on a spot, nothing a thread file couldn't repair, there's just hardly any finish left on the threads after though. I don't think I removed the entire pin before spinning it off. All is good now though however, the guys that did it did such a good, only way I find the pin was cold blue (FH wouldn't take the cold blue, as it's stainless). |

DD has upped their price to $445 and they're no longer selling the FDE rails. Apparently they're saving all of them for SOCOM so all we can get is black now :( |

I wouldn't give a shit if mine was FDE or black, it would still get spray-painted. In fact, I sprayed my FDE rail today because I grew tiresome of the uniformity of a solid color; it's too dark anyways, so I lightened it.
