You have the product lingo down pat, don't ya?

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:

You Tommy Tactical name-dropping GunGeek! You are pretty close on your name branding there.

Lets see....... working from memory:

Rock River Arms complete lower, minus stock and buffer tube
FN upper A3
Bushmaster chrome lined M4 barrel
Vltor clubfoot stock
Rock River Arms winter trigger guard (allows use with gloves on, and no "gap")
Ambi selector
Tango down vertical grip
Tango Down pistol grip
ARMS 40L rear sight
Yankee Hill forend rail system
Magpul cinch on two 30rd mags
Midwest Industries rail sling adaptor
EOTech 552
Armforte Counterpoise buffering system*

The sling arrangement is AWESOME. But it is hard to describe and easy to demonstrate. Basically the sling has push button release on both ends, which makes it QD because I don't like the sling dangling when not using it. In use, I hang the rifle muzzle down on the strong side, pistol grip at my hip right at my strong hand. All I have to do is grasp the grip and bring up the rifle - it is as fast or faster than drawing a handgun! The purpose for the funny forward sling attchment, is that in that location the sling does not "foul the draw" for my left hand as I grasp the vertical grip. This is the hot combat ticket for fast deployment in close quarters, so now you will have to get yours up to speed.

*The Counterpoise System consists of a new buffer assembly, drive spring and a counterweight which fits inside the bolt carrier of the rifle or carbine. Also included is a "D" ring which is installed beneath the extractor and eliminates M16/M4 extraction problems. According to Armforte, the Counterpoise System eliminates muzzle rise and enhances accuracy by stretching the recoil impulse over the whole cycle time. Counterpoise also enhances reliability by adding more energy into the M4 operating system, thereby enabling the reciprocating parts to overcome the effects of dust, dirt and fouling. (This is a work in progress which I will report on later.)

I would like to get the GG&G cam mount for the EOTech too.

Lordy, am I a pathetic GunGeek.
