Looks great, wow, I bought an Arch Angel stock instead of something so exotic, I'm not the biggest fan of the paint, but hey looks good nonetheless. How is it with the banana mags?
 
I havn't tried one yet,I think the 30rd ones look horrible. I might try to fit one inside an AR style mag. I did get to learn lots on this one and will do some things better next time. How does the archanglel fit, feel and is it a good kit?

It's a solid kit, it doesn't have that cheap hollow feel to it, like I said, solid. The only problem with the install was the top receiver cover which, as per instructions, had to be warmed in the oven for about 5 minutes to go on. Other than that it's a great kit and doesn't look too bad with the banana mags.
 
Top rail

The top rail was a 20" blank from Samson..top is finished but bottom requires fittting/machining for your app.I got mine from a local gunsmith friend but Brownells has them @ $100.
Photographer I'm not...going to have to invest in a new camera as this one is fadding fast(6yrs old)..maybe some lessons too
 
- Contrasting background to subject will bring out features

- Very steady hand, or a tri-pod & camera set on timer work best for clarity

- Clean subject & background to reduce noise

- Review pics and make adjustments to get a cleaner/clearer shot if necessary
