Oops, I was typing when you replied. You're right sir, it's the CQD. I first saw it on one of your AR's pictured in another thread.

For the optic, it sounds like the EOTech will be better for me, but I better try it and the Aimpoint out first before I buy. I don't know anyone around here with one I can try, so I'll just shoot the irons for now. But since it's my only AR, I should take TR's advice that the TA31F is the most versatile optic for this rifle and start saving my pennies.

vsvo,
I'm in your neck of the woods. (Lorton/ Woodbridge area) PM me and I can hook you up with a rifle, and range to shoot. I've got the below rifle with the attached goodies (EOTech included). I may be able to snag an aimpoint from a co-worker. Let me know.

Now that's networking. Talk about hooking a brother up with a kind and generous offer.  Ya'll have fun. Personally, I've got an EOTech and two Aimpoints. I'm busy saving pennies for the TA31F myself. I'll be talking to the Trijicon guys tomorrow afternoon to check out prices/availability. For those of you in the Ft. Bragg area USAA is sponsoring a trade show at the O-club (through tomorrow 1700). Displays of interest include: Eagle, Trijicon, Buffer Tech, Paraclete, ESS (eyepro), Watershed (waterproof bags), and McNett (soldier support items). Most others are oriented towards "Big Army" systems or otherwise not suitable for personal acquisition. Peregrino

The show is an AUSA show, not USAA. Both useful organizations, but not interchangable.
All of the people working the show I know plan to leave at 1500 tomorrow, and there are no retail sales being offered there.
It is a good opportunity to window shop. Fourth Quarter spending starts in less than 90 days!

OK - I stand corrected.  I claim dyslexia (it couldn't be because I didn't care enough to pay attention/weak SA). At least I got the letters right.  Yes - it is a good venue (kind of small though) for units with IMPAC credit cards that don't travel to trade shows to see new products. FWIW - Peregrino

Well my new toy arrived today..
CZ550 Safari Magnum in .416 Rigby. It weights 8.25lbs and should rattle any screws that I have left in my head loose. To those that have no clue what a 416 Rigby is or does, there is a picture of one cartridge next to a .308 round. It shoots a 400gr Barnes Triple Shock bullet at 2675. Reported recoil is between 90 and 96lbs. Should be fun. "Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty".

Okay Okay,
I'm in "training" right now and they get kind of irritated if I show up with anything in "plain view" so I'm kind of limited to the following for a little while but I figured I would show off what I'm currently "playing" with.

Nice rifle. My daughter wants a cougar skin rug, A cougar took down our llama a few weeks ago. I guess that rifle could also take down any rogue Locomotives too..... Not sure if I would want to be on the "recoil" end of it.

Nice Kimber there Joe! I would say I hope that Benchmade didn't suffer... but 
The wave is handy isn't it?

Works well for its intended use, adding goodies. My only complaint is that I will not be able to free float the barrel in it's current config. Since it's primary function is range use there is no real need to free float the barrel. 200m is the most I'll shoot it, It's mostly work inside 10m and less. We'll set up blind targets and have to engage them at close ranges. Some just get muzzle pokes or butt stroked. 
I'm thinking of investing in a DPMS lo-pro or a Rock River Varmint upper and adding an A.R.M.S. S.I.R. system for more accurate shooting. My oldest brother had a lo-pro 16" that would effectively frag prairie dogs out to 600m. Accurate round, but on windy days it'd wreak havoc on a round and shift it so much at those distances we'd lose the impacting round.

My favorite 'toy'
Here is a pic of my favorite toy.
The girl in the picture is my daughter.
It started out as an M16A1. I switched it to an XM177E2 with an A2 upper. 11.5" barrel, select fire lower. The bloop tube is a 40mm M203 by J.A. Ceiner. Both registered, taxes paid, fully legal to own.

Two good systems, but before going on anything mentioned above, check out Mark LaRue and his rail systems. Or, wait for the new Daniel Defense/VLTOR CASV rails. The VLTOR CASV is like the S.I.R. in that it provides a 'monorail' upper rail, with removable lower rails. It also adds option 4:30 and 7:30 rails which are great to have. Personally, I'm waiting for the CASV.
