It's not a Magpul, but I got a deal I couldn't refuse on it from a soldier in Killeen. I replaced the stock with a Magpul CTR, the sights with aluminum Troy folders and bolted on an EOTech XPS 2.0. Her sling is a VTAC sliding two point. It still needs to go to ADCO to get the barrel re-profiled.

Is that an Aimpoint T1 on your FN?

No it is a H1 (no Night vision but the same chassis) Having the impulse control of a gnat , there were no T1s available from any of my suppliers that day, so I grabbed the H1. I am normally a Eotech guy but they sit to high on the PS90 Standard that went with the Micro Dot and so far I am pretty impressed.

This ammo shortage is fucking ridiculous. It's just like gas prices. Now that companies know people will pay these prices, why bring them down?

Over 300 fucking dollars for 1k of .223. Give me a break.

Cant fucking wait until my 5.45x39 upper ships out. I'll shoot that dirty crap ammo all day every day.

That'd only save him a couple of cents per round... I figured bulk would save much more...
