Behold:
Not really an AR-15 person, but for 130 (KA from that Cabela's clearance sale) I figured it'd be worth it for practice and as a backup.
Paint is drying right now. I'll probably throw a RIS, Tasco Red Dot, and PEQ on it eventually. The PEQ is probably first on the list though, as pulling that Delta ring back to remove the handguard is hell.
Side note: any ideas on softening the Delta ring pull? I've got the handguards in the front and the rear ledges against the edge of the ring to try to soften/compress it, but I don't know if that'll work.
