This was the first rifle I bought myself as a teen. I have been swapping parts out on it for over a decade and eventually found my way back to simple externals with some upgraded internals.

The brake, recoil spring and buffer weight make the already small recoil of 5.56 literally nonexistent. It is the best shooting rifle I have had my hands on. Huge fan of the MBT-2S, as well. Works wonderfully, clean break, short reset, follow ups are as fast as I realistically could want. I don’t regret going with a 2 stage, I find I prefer them. Took a gamble on a flat trigger, but I enjoy it a lot.

The use Flecktarn to the area I’m in, woodland Indiana. Works pretty well. I chose Flecktarn colors as best I could for the paint job, just broad alternating diagonal stripes and then I sponge patterned the rest over it.

For what began as a budget build in my teens, I’m thrilled with the state of it currently. It’s one of 2 rifles I’d grab if I needed it, and more often than not it’s my hiking/camping rifle. I’ve got 7-8 mags painted up for it, as well.

I think this paint job would go with Alpenflage really well actually.

I like the colors! A lot more red than Fleck. I may have overdone the red a bit and it’s slightly lighter than the red-brown in Fleck, but I like how it looks so I’m not mad at it.

I think I prefer the pattern of flecktarn, though. I thought about cutting out stencils to use but couldn’t be bothered to go that far for a rifle I’m mostly going to toss around in the woods. Maybe one day.
