MCurtis762 10 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Holy barrel shrouds! That thing is intimidating! A sleeker foregrip would make it look even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Scratch 91 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 A sleeker foregrip would make it look even better. Yes. A Magpul Angled Foregrip would be great here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

datrowl 111 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the kind words guys, actually means alot to me I actually had a magpull AFG on it, and it looked good, not gonna lie... but I have this weird OCD and REALLY NEED everything to be as symmetrical as possible.. so I used the only PG and VFG I could find that perfectly matched. Also helps that they were the 6 insert adjust a size jobs that ended up really fitting my hands perfectly. I'm really proud of her, she draws alot of attention at the range LOL. I have her cycleing fairly well now, I get 1 FTE per 12 round mag when cycleing crap bulk ammo, usually shot 2 or 3... I figure the polish/profile is gonna buff that hang up out.

fauxknight 30 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Very nice. The end result of matching your component styles is amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Desolo 55 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I can think of one thing im dissapointed in now that I think about it... You forgot to snap a pic of the stock UNfolded.... I do want to see that aswell! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
datrowl 111 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 lol 3rd pic, post 2 =o) unfolded ..... I really wish I had a better camra, the pics really don't do it justice to be honest... but I guess they never really do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Good job. I like to see people make guns that are unique. I'll bet that thing gets a lot of attention when you pull it out at the range! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Great job, man. "The Beast" certainly has a unique look! I have to wonder how heavy she is, though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AtlSaiga 25 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I like it, but I guess there is some kind of optical illusion or something going on, because it looks 10 feet log. Maybe its because the forward grip is past the gas block or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Debt 350 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Needs more barrel shroud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaKen 338 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Outstanding......You must have some REALLY long arms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chaseface 41 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 That is a really nice gun, really nice!! Its like a shotgun had sex with a 1919a4 and had a beautiful shrouded baby. Seriously though I don't know how you can have your forward grip that far in front. That would be really uncomfortable for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Turned out great man. Michael's Alumalite barrel shrouds are the best out there, the original S-12 barrel shrouds. They also work well with the original tubular designed HGs from Fuglystick. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
datrowl 111 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 ahhhyea!, Cobra weighing in with a few of his that served as my inspiration! after digging thru the pics thread a hundred times or so, picking and chooseing off each gun which part I liked best, cross refrenceing to the sister thread... getting an actual build list to go from.... I found myself going back to 2 or 3 guns over and over and over.... these were the ones along with one other. Great stuff Cobra, you have the best toys! As for the placement of the VFG.... I actually tried it farther back but didn't like the feel as much ( yes, i'm a pretty big guy 6'2 290 with long arms and huge hands ) The gun weighs more now than it did NIB, but not by near as much as you'd think... everyone that handles it first comments that its not as heavy as it looks...guess i need to get it on a set of scales to get a real number... all I know is for a range toy, it hasen't been an issue yet. Thanks for all the great comments guys, really makes me proud Waylon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
