Re: yay my newest model.... -RIFLE
looks good
maybe you could adjust the shoulder rest so it is not so sharp on the subdivisions

Re: yay my newest model.... -RIFLE
Very, very nice model, it's a considerable improvement!
I absolutely love the XM8, I've drawn a lot of inspiration from that rifle over the last few years. Do you think it'll ever go into production?

Thanks a lot! I think I read somewhere that the xm8 was canceled, but it looks very cool, so I hope something like it will be used.

Leave it to those stupid Bureaucrats out in Washington to cancel yet another good thing...

Re: yay my newest model.... -RIFLE
Great model...
I have a question, what about the line of site for the aiming rectile. It looks like your line of sight is obstructed with the carrying handle? Just curious... |

Re: yay my newest model.... -RIFLE
Perhaps that's actually a bayonet placement, I've seen similar constructions on older weapons. It is set fairly far back, however. It'd have to be about as long as a short sword. But that is a good question about aiming. How exactly do you accomplish that?
