Holy lack of cheek weld Batman!

I hope you've got a good chiropractor if you shoot that thing much. The rifle is very nice, but I hope you've got plans for a decent optic and a much better mounting system.
 
Very cool AR's, but when I saw the word "Beauty" I was expecting to see some good old-fashioned blued steel and walnut. ;)

My feelings exactly! I have yet to see a "beautiful" plastic gun.
Real rifles to me are blued steel and walnut or exotic wood stock.

Also, on your rifle, the rail covers are made to snap down into the grooves of the picatinny. Play with it some and you will see what I'm talking about. You will need to cut some off the end for a perfect fit, scissors work great!
 
Well, they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Every time I see one I am reminded of Sgt Major Plumlee's comment to Col. Moore in We Were Soldiers.

Plumlee said, "they're made out of plastic and look like toys, I'll stick to my pistols."
 
Plastic guns are still real guns and valid weapons im just not into the infinitely configurable AR. Glad the OP enjoys them. I think im lacking the AR gene.
 
WHA???

While I appreciate the beauty of a finely checkered walnut stock against the lusterous blue of a fine double rifle, I can also see the different kind of beauty in these two rifles....

BUT most of the comments seem to be about bashing the new.

All these old guys are stuck in the mind set of the old Cavalry soldiers who didn't want to see the switch from sabers and horse mounted charges into enemy lines.

Progress is often seen as garish and ugly...it takes forward thinking to see that beauty takes many forms.

I think both of these are awesome.
 
I like them. But, I bet you change them around a bit after running them through some games such as 3-gun competition.
 
Congratulations on the new rifles! I think you'll like that RRA-trigger and Douglas barrel combination for accuracy. Though I'll be surprised if they still look the same a year from now :D
 
Functional and nasty,,, Yea,,,,,

But beautiful?
Nope.

But I'm just teasing you a bit,,,
I can see how if you like the AR platform,,,
One might consider a well dressed platform as a work of art.

As if I'm really one to talk,,,
I like space-gun looking weapons. :o

Yes, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." I am also of the blued steel and walnut school, but to each his own.

I like ARs and your's are very nice with the exception of the scopes jacked up to the ceiling.
Gonna be hard to use effectively.
