Hey guys check this out, please let me know what you think........

NEF survivor model .223
cut the barrel to 16 1/4 inches
cut the stock down to make an overall length of 29 inches
fully self contained no external batteries for the scope light(only one wire from light to forearm switch)
Squeaker/coaxer built into the pistol grip
3-12x56mm scope 30 mm tube center lit crosshair
rapid pivot bipod sticks
backpack sling
future improvements will include molding the light switch directly into the forearm and a digital camo paint job

Looks neat.  What kind of battery is powering the scope light?

well let me answer all these questions!!
I lost 208fps by cutting the barrel down, which is a meaningless amount.
The gun still shoots 1/2 moa, but it is louder.
The scope is a Bariska with an etched glass recticle, which I am very satisfied with.
The Light is an Bunham Brothers model SL-18 which uses two 9v batteries in the light housing. I modified this light to use a 5 watt luxeon led, but this light was very brite in its original configuration(equivilant to a Optronics GL-100).
