Rock River Arms Lower, with DPMS upper and a Larue Tactical quad rail, ERGO grip, and flip up irons. Bought it from SingleShot85 (thanks again) a month or so ago, first opportunity I've had to shoot it. A quick BZO at 25 yards, then just this one 3 shot group at 100 yards. Was 91 degrees out, around 77% humidity, on a fairly junk Missouri Conservation area range. Not sure how exact their distances are, and all they had for seated shooting is some concrete benches, no shade. So for shooting with irons, on a rifle I haven't fully zeroed yet and cheap ammo, I think I did alright. Had one failure to eject, not sure what caused it, but it only happened once after about 200-250 rounds. Hope to get to a better range today, and get her sighted in all the way. Thanks to BigBoss0311 for the rear sight, I'll stop kissing your mother with so much tongue.

All the extra holes are due to a lack of range ettiquette, lol. Some 17 year old kid with his daddy's AK was doing rapid fire all over the place, to impress his girlfriend and her friend. Didn't see he was shooting up my target until afterwards.

Ha, thanks guys. Didn't make it to the range today. Kid brother's leaving for Japan with the Navy, so I'm just visiting for just under a week. Just got home from a little adventure, in fact. An old booty call begged and pleaded me to come hang out, and I conceded, on the condition that she could bring me back home after our shenanegans, as I flew home and have no transpo. She assured me several times, only to leave me high and dry, needing said little brother to come pick me up. Still little tips, still a lot steamed. I'm sure karma will catch up...
