    Nice Sgt. Raven, looks like a very nice shooter. I wish my indoor range allowed me to shoot my 5.56 XCR there.

    Finally!!!
    I put my guts and tools together and modded the trunnion to accept all AR mags (via adapter).
    Earlier I had to modify one PMAG for proof of concept.
    Still works with AK, Saiga & Galil .223 mags (with adapter removed) for universal SHTF situation.

    Currently using "windowed" MagPul's PMAGs: works well.
    Looking forward to let you try your AR mags and variety of ammo through it at the Sizzler.

    Happy Shooting!

    Took AKAR for a spin yesterday with Brother Gun-Toting Diplomat and his Comrades.

    It ate each and every type of ammo thrown at it.
    Not a single hiccup, no FTF; each and every AR mag worked fine through mag adapter.
    "Fuglystick" handguard worked extremely well with 5.56 in rapid fire, multi-target acquisition.

    I know: "If there are no pictures, it never happened".
    There are no pictures (PERSEC).
    And it did happen.
    But I'll throw someting in later.

    Happy Shooting!
    AATW!

    Damn, where's a pack of zombies needing shot when you get all your pieces together...

    Sounds like a real run-and-gunner, bro!
    We were the kids who would jump off a bridge if our friends did it.

    As requested, I sent few good ones downrange in your honor and on your behalf, Brother!

    Damn Zombies better find another sandbox to play in...

    (On another thought, sandbox we played in was so infested with hard kicking lead, there are no Zombies around for miles and miles).

    I was there and I was witness to the event. I can confirm that it is a thing of beauty.

    Raven, thanks for coming out and shooting with us this past weekend!

    Brother.

    That's where my (so-called) skills might pull a handbrake and screw the whole thing up.
    However. since my add-on list (and so my wallet) is almost empty, I might do some radical sh*t, but not before the Sizzler.
