The mechbox upgrades has been installed after a couple of hours. Thanks again to harleyb for giving the link to Arnies. I've replaced and re-routed the battery wires to run right into the AN/PEQ-2 battery case holder. We don't have to see the battery connectors in the stock and I'm using a 9.6V 1700mAh battery. There's enough room to hide the connectors in the battery box.
I went to our local sporting good shop to pick up some Butler Creek flip-open scope covers and a Harris Ultralight bipod to finish the look.
It's definately a very front heavy gun. More than any of my Armalites or MGs. I can pick any of those guns up by the pistol grip but it's a struggle to do that with the EBR.
Not sure if I want to take you up on that dare, Vond. I've already suggested to Raven to stick with a normal RAS when he gets a M14.
