So....What colour is your gun WB ? " Well, it's got some black bits, some FDE bits, some beige bits with a splash of magnolia added just for a subtle contrast" It doesn't matter what anyone sez Andy, sod 'em all buddy, but I do like the black bits though, lol   |

Your brain-cake is turning into quite a cool looking bit of kit. 😎
I am just a boring old black/blue gun kind of chap, maybe with the occasional nickel/chrome/silver item. 😴

You tell 'em Bill, no retreat, no surrender! The rifle's looking awesome. I love that scope, very military looking. I'm both excited & jealous. The fun I could have with that in my garden! I'm thinking life size insurgent cutouts with a nice splatter burst 2 by 2 on their heads just waiting to get knobbed! (Not that way lol) Yeah, I'm already there in my head! I'm getting my Canebrake soon. My accessories have already arrived for it. I'm not bothering with a scope. i ordered one of these bad boys, not vomit coloured, not sick coloured, not pdf coloured, its in dessert tan y'all, its fricin' dessert tan!  |

I'll enjoy doing that, even if I don't have a Canebrake to mount it on yet :} |

That scope looks good on the gun. Can't go wrong with an ACOG scope on these.
Not so sure about that strip/cover for the handguard.
Does it look like you can get a cheek rest for the butt? How's the cheek weld with that scope on this rifle? Being a short arse that gun is probably too long for me. 🤷🏻♀️
I must say I'm slowly getting to appreciate Flat Dark Earth. FDE is the new black apparently. Less visible, doesn't heat up under the sun, hides scratches better than black... why not!
(still prefer nickel/chrome/silver [or even gold!] but each to their own isn't it! 😅)

Yes each to their own. No I don't think you can get a higher cheek rest. And the rifle is quite short and I actually find the scope to be in exactly the right position for me. I wanted the hand guard covers in FDE but couldn't find any. These will be sprayed in the same FDE SIG colour as soon as I can find a good paint match as I like the covers in place. Without them it didn't feel right for me. It came with picatinny rails attached on both sides but that felt uncomfortable to hold and I thought it was over the top. I am getting a vertical hand hold later too. |

He's says there's none in-store but he'll check if he can get me one in. He should be calling me back sometime today. Failing that I'll take a punt at Dai Leisure. I need to get one from somewhere as I've already bought accessories for it and I really have an urge to go full on Halo on some pesky aliens that will be landing in my garden anytime soon I got me a gosh darn holographic sight and it needs a using   |
