That MA-TEN part looks nice. The best thing about it is that you can use the MagPul .308 mags. They are the bee's knees, IMHO.

I have a Timney 3# trigger in mine. Absolutely the best upgrade I have ever made to an AR, and it takes about 10 minutes to install.

Vash: Come on out. If you're not afraid of rattlers, coyotes, and drug cartels we'll take you out to where you can stretch out to 1000 yards.
