Very nice!
The Hi-Lux CMR has been my "DSM" scope for a few years now - my only gripes are that the battery life is meh, and the reticle is a little slow to pick up when you're moving & shooting multiple targets. |

I got PMed about the sling attachment point on my 16S.
It's simply - a welded steel ring held in place by a section of Spectra cord, tied & ends fused with fire. Very quiet, too.

I kind of did the same thing with a grenade ring and some gutted 550 cord.  |

could you go into a little more detail on this please? like "how much buffing" do you do etc? I can fully see myself buffing a new notch because I'm not sure how far to take it. |

Use the wire brush to take off the original finish, and it does a bit of polishing too. Then use the impregnated buffing wheel to actually polish that little place where the trigger contacts the hammer. Just polish that area, don't go trying to reshape it. I didn't take mine to a perfect mirror finish because I didn't want to screw it up by taking off too much metal. Didn't matter, it turned out great. A nice, basically free trigger job. |

You should all know not to make fun of Agent 47, unless you like the idea of taunting a genetically enhanced hitman assassin and his trigger happy accomplice. I met these two at the range visiting from out of country for the F1 race in Austin. Y'all hatin just be mad jelly of all dat SWAG.

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u196/jaflowers/fnfamily.jpg What's on the top rail of your wife's 17s? A Zeiss Z-Point red dot. It turns on with the battery and then switches over to the solar cells on top to run it when you're outdoors in daylight. Trijicon kinda copied it recently with one of their newer models. It's a great little optic and she really loves it. You're seeing the rubber protective cover on it in the picture. |
