    Gunsmithing Help me figure out what I did wrong.

    Figured I'd share

    Re: Figured I'd share I am definetly a big fan. It is rock solid and reliable. I find it to be very ergonomical as my weapon of choice is a carbine, and the grip provides a very nice crossover for me. If you do not currently fire overlength ammo, you will need to take a dremel to the bottom...
