I still like the wood handguard much better than the plastic. Rifle looks good Kelly.

I have to say you have a nice looking Mini gun...

I know this is an old thread, however, one thing I have noticed is that very few Mini guns with scopes mounted, have lens shades on them. Is their a reason for this?

Yes...Bad memory. After leaving a number of scope covers who-knows-where, I opted for flip-ups. Haven't lost one yet...

I don't mean Lens Covers, I meant Lens shade.

A lens shade is an extention that screws into the objective lens housing, to shade the lens from direct sunlight. And to hide the reflection from the glass so your enemy, or your game, can't see it.

Sorry Bill...I'm not only misplacing my scope covers, but now I'm reading poorly as well...dang...Anyway, I've never used an optic with that sort of shade, but alot of guys do. They probably work just fine. Actually, I've traded off this particular rifle, and replaced it with a different Ranch version. This time I've gone with an Ultra Dot Match Dot mounted on Warn QD rings. No shade on this red dot sight either, but I sure like it...

You don't have anything to be sorry for. I'm a college graduate, that sometimes has a reading comprehension of lower tier first grade...!

I even had to take bone-head English, before I could get into English 101. I had a lot of company though.
