It's the KRAM, from Weapons Outfitter. Mine is the medium height one, and it clears the Magpul MBUS Pro LR Adjustable sight. They were formerly made by Macedon defense until they went off the market, Weapons Outfitter brought them back. I love it, it does move it higher so my head position is a bit more upright which I like for shooting while standing or moving, and it brings it to the rear to tighten up the eye relief so you don't have to turtle into it.

Now that’s a fine looking iron @UncleGabby
what colors did you opt for?
I used the CARC subsitute tan as a base coat with a light overspray of Camouflage Sand, with swatches of CARC Brown, lusterless Khaki Olive Drab, Lusterless Marine Corps Forest Green, and a can of Aervoe Coyote that I found in a local surplus store. If I do another rifle I’d use Sand as a base coat as it has a greenish hue that I like. The lighting on the pics isn’t great but it gives you an idea.
Thank you very much! It's hard to find examples of the rapco stuff. Their 34094 / 383 Green CARC substitute looks like a great match for ranger green.

More swatches here, but the image is shrunk down and I don't have a membership. Anyone with a membership there care to repost the image?

The swatches on Rapco’s site are dissapointing. I opened multiple browser windows but still didn’t feel like I had a good idea of what I was getting. I was mostly looking for contrasts, lights, darks and a few in the middle. I only had the one can of Aervoe to play with, but the Rapco paints dried faster, especially if you accidentally hose it, like I did a few times like I did. So I’m glad I ended up with Rapco. I can’t say anything about durability, but I’m just an average schmuck who gets to go to the range every now and then, so durability isn’t a major concern of mine.
Here's my first attempt at painting a rifle. So far it is holding up pretty well. Rustoleum Khaki and Deep Forest Green came paint. I'm happy with the results.

I played around with rattle cans and then switched to airbrush applied coatings for a bit but I found that I don’t have any artistic talent or patience.
Fuck this. I’ll pay someone for CeraCoat when I want a different finish.
You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.
