    I just wish PTR would knock out a semi G3 complete with paddle magazine release and military spec barrel. Then they'd have something most of us would be very interested in.

    Dano, can you post a bigger picture, please?

    May I ask why did you go with the shorter handguard (which involves cutting the recoil spring tube) instead of just chopping 1.7" from the barrel?

    Can you show the welded on picatinny rail? It is a great idea to cowitness the iron sights (great cheek weld as well).

    What do you use with magnified optics? Can you use relatively low mounted see-through rings?

    Any other mods? Rail glued/riveted to the handguards, o perhaps sling swivels mounted on them?

    What is the weight with the RDS, sling and loaded aluminium magazine?

    Thanks in advance
