Finally got my AR done the way I wanted it. Since this gun will be used mostly as a predator gun I wanted to break up all the black with some OD green. I got a RRA A2 operator buttstock to replace the regular 6 position. Changed to a green hogue pistol grip. Went with a RRA advanced half quad in mid length which I had Rebel spray with green KG Gunkote leaving the rails black. Up top is a Leupold rifleman 4-12x40 with sunshade on RRA scope riser also gunkoted green by rebel. Since i didnt have the tools or know how I took it all to Brandon972 to put it all together. While i was there I got him to do a trigger job that brung it down to a much nicer 4 lbs. Big thanks to both of these guys for helping me get this gun exactly how I wanted it.
Here is a before pic

Here are a couple after pics

Looks really good. Does it fill in that space between the trigger gaurd and pistol grip that eats into your middle finger?

Nevermind. I found them and they do fill in that gap.
