Gonna have to call in for a ruling.

I think it might be faux pas to mix VLTOR and Magpul.

Haha well vltor doesnt make a grip or a magazine, the UBR is not in production, the CTR is useless and the M93B is way too expensive for what it is :D haha. Faux pas or not, I think the colors match well.

I love it!!!!

I was actually wanting to do a build almost identical to that.  I originally had the idea from Stickman from one of his pictures and it had an aimpoint on it.

Very nice gun.

Although, it must be pretty weird to need storage compartments in your stock for it to be useful.

I think the most 'useful' thing on that gun is all the rails that you're not using, especially the rail on top of another rail.

I saw that you picked up that CASV-EL :D Not sure why the CASV is not more popular, oh well. More for us :D haha. Throw some pics our way when its done :D

Yep, really like it, have it all "mocked" up together right now.
Was going to go with a Vortex I already have, but dayum, those things sure don't like a drill so I ordered a Phantom. Waiting for that to get here, then I'll drill/pin/weld it up.

Oh, and just snagged a Troy buis a little bit ago on the EE
I should get it together by next weekend I hope. Will post pics.

again.....nice pics

Looks good but I do have one comment... You do realize that an Eotech and a CAS-V handguard is not a great match don't you? On a CAS-V rail, the Eotech will sit up very high and there is no way to co-witness it with the irons. Matter of fact, the only way you will be able to use the irons will be to remove the Eotech so if nothing else, I hope you will be getting some type or quick release mount for the Eotech.

I prefer Eotech's but with a CAS-V, the Aimpoint is really the better way to go. Other then that, it looks like a pretty nice build

I do realize that the Eotech wont cowitness with irons. Thats why they are BACK UP Iron sights. If something should happen during the non combat situations I am in, and my eotech breaks. I can flip two throw levers and have it off in about 2 seconds :D The Eotech 553 has the throw levers integrated :D

Yes, it is very similar. Obvious differences being the barrel length and optics choice.

You mean black and tan, speaking of which I will toast your rifle with a freshly opened cold black and tan.

That is HOT Man :D the CASV-EL systems are way underrated IMO.

Here is mine finished off with the FDE ARMS sight, the match is not that great, its the only thing I didnt really care for. May have to switch it for a troy but for now its fine :D This gun originally started out to be my "working gun", a shooter :D Which is why I chose the CASV so it would be relatively easy to swap barrels every 15K rounds or so, and so I could use the CAR gas system w/ 9" rail and still use the fixed FSB.
