Looks great - next time try setting up next to a window that has good indirect light coming in to enhance your lighting - also might try leaning the gun on something or using a prop rod, shell casing etc. to get the gun off the table for a better overall presentation. You will also want to check to see where your blinking cursor is when you finally hit the attach button so you don't split your text. But you did very well for your first time out.

Sip, Can you advise as to the straight and beveled butts on your 17 and mine? I mean when did they change or is mine from a different model as they are not original?
