VERY NICE!!!

I was playing around with my wife's camera equipment (she a pro photographer) and took this shot of my Spikes Tactical AR... The sun was too bright, so there's a lot of contrast... Next time I'll just have her take the pictures... I'm sure she'll do a lot better! LOL!

 

Actually, I like the way it came out. Hard shadows, well depicted parts, etc... Looks nice.... Then there is always Photoshop...

What type of lower is that? The curved mag well looks cool, just wondering about function. Very sweet looking rifle by the way.

14.5" PSA mid-length

super soft shooting, accurate, unbelievably fun!

Am I the only one that hates the look of full length rails (that go all the way past where a front sight post would be up to almost the end of the barrel/start of the muzzle break)? It looks both clumsy and heavy. Also, what extra function does it have? I'm assuming it serves some purpose I'm not thinking of. I suppose if you have super long monkey arms it would be a big help.

 

With that said, all these photos are making me want to build another AR. Damn you all and your sexy rifle photos!

Longer sight radius. Also looks cool!

After posting, I picked up on the longer sight radius. That certainly makes sense, particularly for those who are not using optics/using fixed sights. I kind of feel dumb for not realizing that when I posted originally.

It depends on the build... Mine has a lightweight pencil barrel and a very lightweight rail, so it doesn't feel heavy at all. My rifle is a little over 7 lbs, with optics. I am also a big & tall guy, so the long rail is more comfortable for my long arms. Also like the longer sight radius and just plain think the long rail looks badass... So it's aesthetically pleasing to me

I don't care for the full length handguard at all, especially when its all rails. I actually like the look of a short guard with maybe half rails and the contour of the barrel. Pretty much like my diamondhead v-rs or the RRA Operator style

Another? At least you have one. Best I can do is read this thread and drool on my keyboard until my budget allows. Jealously tastes.. bitter..

A longer handguard serves two purposes. The first is the longer sight radius. The second is better control over the muzzle in both climb as well as lateral movement for engaging multiple targets such as when performing a box drill. You can "drive" the muzzle end more precisely and faster than if your supporting arm was in close such as that required by a carbine length handguard.

Looks like a Seekins Precision Lower with a VLTOR Upper

 

Longer sight radius. Also looks cool!

 

Also allows you to brace on a port/prop/whatever without burying the whole gun in the port or leaning on the barrel. It also allows you to have good form with your grip and still have some stuff mounted out front if you aren't squat and short.

Yes, good point which I neglected to mention in my previous post. I do place my hand all the way towards the end of the handguard for that exact reason. I can transition faster and more precisely from target to target this way.

This!!!

Lower is a Seekins precision. The curved mag well speeds up mag changes. Beside functionality features posted above for the full length hand guard I like the look. Makes it look like a sbr.

I just finished this lower today. Maybe I'll put an upper on my Christmas list for my Fiance...

LOL, nice, I like the 1903, Garands and the Mauser

Very nice.... But you have them comfy on the couch and you didn't even have the decency of offering them all a beer? They deserve it...
