And since I just picked up a SIG 22 in FDE, I decided to match up the AR as well, so swapped furniture over to FDE - ignore the Black STR they didn't have FDE in stock so it's on order. Guess I'll have to pick up at least one FDE mag so I can be photo-worthy ;).

Not a 15, but a quick pic of the Sig (GSG) 1911 22 in FDE... I wasn't specifically looking for FDE, the LGS just happened to have one, and I like that the FDE finish diminishes all the extraneous "printings" that GSG/ATI puts on their firearms... They gave me a nice deal so I took it home :D



I'll have to get the others cleaned up and take a family pic lol.

Was at the LGS today, and fondled a 3X lol. Kinda thinking I may go scope instead, maybe a VXR or Mark AR - for a companion to the T-1 though, haven't decided.
 
Hey- what options on the forum do you use to post full size photo instead of thumbnail? Thanks

Just use a hosting service, like photobucket, or copy.com or dropbox even... upload your pics, and it will give you a pre-formatted link you can post right into your message which will display your pics...

I use Photobucket currently (credit to JaPes for this) but have used Copy.com and Dropbox previously for simple hosting. Photobucket is nice b/c you can setup albums, edit pictures, add effects, etc.
 
Minor update to the OR - LGS has been hounding me about Troy, telling me how great their Battle Sights are, etc. Told me to try them, if I don't like them he'll take them back... so how can one pass up a deal like that... Well I certainly couldn't. Still not thrilled with some of their politics, but I will give them a fair shake... Took the opportunity to add some more FDE-love...



Worst case, I hate them and give them back in a week or two. Or, I love them, and move the Magpul Pro's over to the 15-22. $200 sights on a 15-22? Why not, it's my rifle ;). Hike your own hike and all that. If I put a $100 stock on it why not $200 sights... Plus the polymers on it now are so... something. Bulky? Ugly? Noisy? Did I say bulky yet? ;).

Well,worst case it is. Can't really give an exact reason, but i just didn't care for them today. My groups opened up some, the FDE front sight kinda blended in, for lack of a better description, with some targets/backrounds down range I think. Or at least to my color vision deficient eyes, anyway :p. I also didn't care for the fact that they lock up, vs the Pro's which snap up solidly, but can fold down if hit by an obstruction. It also didn't seem like they grabbed the rail just right. There was some space around the upper area of the rail, which may be a non-issue, but it just didn't look right.

Anyway, back to the Magpul Pro's. I pulled the Troys and put the Pro's on and everything was right in the world again lol...
 
So, 78Staff, you're saying you'd recommend the Pros? I'm seriously considering one for the front of mine. Squid grips arrived today, lo pro gas block and Alpha rail will be here tomorrow, so you can see where this is going. ;)

Definitely. All metal, so no heat/gas block issues, small profile, simple no-tool adjustment that wont move unless you want it to - what's not to like :). Folded down they are about half the height of the Troys or the Magpul standard polymers...

I know plenty of folks like the Troy/MI design, but it just seems bulkier, and I don't like that it locks up. I want them to be able to fold away if hit by something. That and while the FDE was okay on the back, on the front it just didn't sight well for me (admittedly perhaps my issue). Black is where it's at :).

My only complaint on the Pro's is with the Rear sight, the adjustment knob could be smaller. But it is a minor complaint.

I have this rail too, and think it is awesome.

Question though... Why bother installing the IWC QD sling mount when the rail already has a QD hole? Specifically, the QD hole is just to the left of TROY insignia in your pic above, seemingly adjacent to where you installed the IWC QD sling mount??

I wonder if the Delta would work over an OR gas block (instead of the typical A2 type sight)...

Got the MOE now but thinking about a longer than carbine length handguard setup...

Because it was right where my palm lands when I grip the rifle. I added the QD to solve that problem.
