Thanks very much. I like that bag.
Looks like the start of another day in the office. Who'd have guessed there was other than your laptop in there?
(Asked because some years ago, wife and I went on a "short hike" on a new-to-us "short loop trail" in VA hillside. I hoisted a single strap shoulder bag, carrying a moderate load, but which should have been in a proper day pack. Two hours later, with many ups and downs . . . well, I was no longer a fan of that bag, even though I wrongly chose the usage.)
Doesn’t everyone pack a weekend bag?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Goruck had a sale on blue GR1's awhile back, which was fine by me since I didn't really want a "tactical" color. I stuck a Grey Man Tactical Rigid Molle Panel in it, and then drilled holes in that to mount two two Safariland mag carriers I had lying around.
I got a Rattler conversion on one of my SBR'ed AR15 lowers, in January. The Streamlight RM1 mounted on the top rail works pretty good. The switch is close to my thumb when using a magwell grip, and the light doesn't block viewing anything through the optic. A separate BUIS instead of BUIS integrated on the ANVL UKON T1 mount would probably be better if there were more space to mount a separate BUIS, but there's not, so it's probably the next-best option. The SIG Minimalist stock is a bit small, I'll probably change it out to a Minimalist Plus whenever SIG starts making enough of them that they're regularly available again. The only ones I can find right now are going for $50-100 more than list price.

The Rattler conversion kits come with the upper, the stock adapter, and a hinge to allow an AR receiver extension and stock to fold (which I didn't use).
osagecountyguns.com, but I got it almost 2 months ago so don't assume that indicates current availability.
I paid ~$200 more than I "should" have, but nothing near what Gunbroker auctions are going for.
e: I also got an MCX Virtus upper a couple days later, also from OCG.
May I ask where one finds MCX-type uppers to put on standard AR lowers?
It’s an appealing option, if/when they could be found.
