Chief506,
how difficult was the removal of the factory gas block,
what gas block did you install as replacement,
did you the MI handguard thread onto the factory barrel nut ?
Thanks

I finished my rifle over the weekend (I think).
The lower is from a new Bushmaster Varminter and came with a MOE rifle stock, Bushmaster 2-stage "competition" trigger, and Hogue grip (GunBroker find). The stock feels great and the whole setup feels rock solid.
The scope is a VX-2 4-12x40 adj obj that I had from the .308 I traded for the upper, and the Trijicon MS-03 on top was previoulsy mounted on an ACOG that traveled around the world.
I really like the PEPR mount, and looking over the scope to use the red-dot seems so natural I can't believe this is the first rifle I've had set up this way. I'm usually not a fan of tacti-cool stuff, but I thought it would be just the thing for treestand hunting right before dark. I'm sure it will be great for hogs and quick shooting when walking through the woods.

Here is my new 450b...
I had an Aimpoint PRO and an Aimpoint 3x magnifier on it, but, decided to put a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x24 on a PEPR mount instead.
I like the Vortex MUCH better.

I may have been on the losing side, but, I'm not convinced it was the wrong side.

Up in Colorado for some turkey hunting (not with my BM450) and fly fishing (ditto), but took the opportunity to work with my guide for this Fall's elk hunt to sight in my BM at 300 yards. If I can successfully upload these images, the first shows me setting up on the shooting stand, the second is the steel plate target showing the bullet splatter (never found the bullet, just the plastic tip), and the third is the view from the target back to the shooting stand (the red tent way down in the valley).
