I was bored and had the black panels and cover laying around. I actually dig the way it looks with the Noveske 10" rail that was on the front. With the 733 style hand guards I think it looks much better back to the basics.
Glad you got good use out of the Diablo at Irene Optoman. I like the new sights config. Sorry to hear about the batteries though.
The WOC is cool but I'm feeling a bit of remorse seeing the AEGs again...they were just so pretty and unscathed!
Thanks Whan, I like the way your weapon is looking as well! Oddly familiar, almost like I've seen it somewhere before...LOL
The Aimpoint clone is an M2, it just looks different because you typically never see them without the flip-up covers on.
