Quite a few modern rifles are supplied by the manufacturer completely sans iron sights... they're intended to be used exclusively with a scope. Also applies to a lot of handguns like the Contender and Remington XP-100. ;] Proteus... lengthen the reciever back of the hand grip about 2 - 3 inches, an deepen the bottom half of the reciever just a bit, maybe 3/8 of an inch or so, and you'll get rid of the "grip looks at an awkward angle" think that was mentioned. It's the closeness of the top of the grip to the stock that's making it look awkwards... makes it look as though recoil would compress the thumb and the web of the hand to me. Making those changes would make the design a bit less "cramped looking". Nice job overall. Pretty decent modeling. A hazard of doing firearms models is that you occassionally get real world shooters and firearms buffs like me looking them over with a critical eye. ;]
