What mags are you using?

I bet when that bipod is up it sticks out farther than the barrel.

They look like AICS 10-round mags made for 223 Remington. Mile High Shooting has them.

Nice looking rig you have there. Are you going to suppress it?

I went with a 24" Rock on my 223AI, it's a hammer with 75gr Amax's.

Marc_Andre, that is a very sweet looking rifle. I like the 16" look. Please share some range reports on how she shoots.
