I think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and each of us has different eyes. That said, I do like barrel/suppressor system and the color. But as I posted a week or so ago, I'm in a de-contenting phase and took my 15-22 back down to a bare fore-stock to change my way of driving the gun. But the gnarly rails and my aging joints drove me to improvise something else so I took my vertical forward handgrip and made it a horizontal forward hand grip so I could extend my forefinger out straight as an aiming aid. Not wanting to give up my targeting laser (it's GREEN fer gosh sakes!), I tried to mount it somewhere around the thing but found the switch wasn't easily accessed. After some study I have reverse-mounted the grip with the laser directly in front of it so I can use the laser switch with my thumb (slide left for on) and guide the gun with my index finger point. So far it seems to work but I have more practice to do with the system. No bipod with the red-dot sight or tac-light (it will go down the hall with my 1911 in the other hand if necessary). I'm liking the feel of this operation system and how natural it is to follow the pointing finger. Less sometimes is more, just like the man said!
