Any day the GOI agrees to 'disinvest' IOF! I know some of the better sarkari babus there, seeing their plight I know what to do! :D

Dear Main13,
I think the pistol grip is very stupid. :)

Sir, in the words of Chandrasekhar Azad, "I was Azad, I am Azad, I shall remain Azad forever!" :lol:
I don't see why our holy spooks must come get me.. No laws broken here! ;) Unless some IPS-policewala posted in some int-agency decides he needs a 'bakra' to avoid becoming one himself... :twisted:

Thanks for your kind encouragement sir! :)

ROFL! :lol: I new that was coming... Actually I started with keeping the AARMR Hurricane in mind - perhaps make some 'dandy' stock that 'out-dandied' the current one yet having the functionality that we seek.. Didn't you check its gigantic pull length? :mrgreen:

Weight reduction was another thing on my mind. If you see carefully, I've modified the muzzle weight into a compensator besides combining the grip & stock of two completely different AR15-based assault rifles. Sights are flip-up type (I like them that way.). If this ever saw the light of the day (& I can't see why & how it could..), I would modify the stock further making it lighter still. Will incorporate grip-addons for people with giant-palms too! :)

Somewhere in the middle of this whole thing I decided I wanted to turn it into a DMR that can be field-stripped & turned into a normal assault rifle by switching its barrel & receiver. Hence some further dandification was mandatory.. I retained the selector in the DMR version so it can be used for full-auto suppression iff needed... Marching with two guns on one's back is a torture that only faujis can understand! :D

Nice work.
As a "Gun Nut" I think its blasphemous to say "assault" rifle :evil:
I feel auto, manual-cycling or semi-auto sufficiently define actions.

Point taken sir! The 'assault' word was in reference to its tactical usage & design similarities. In fact my intention was to build a marksman rifle than a specialist sniper, intended for rapid, multiple-engagement of targets, suppression or room-clearing/breach/assault suitability. During an actual shooting, as you might well know, sometimes one doesn't have the 'luxury' of a few extra seconds to switch the rifle or change the barrel...

...barrel and receiver? ...Now you are marching with two guns. You have a long way to go.
