          Although I have never seen the sear in an assembled mag picture. I do see the sear pin. Does that count for anything?

          Personally I like the original look. Railess with the long body just looks too long and thin to me. Idk. To each there own. Without the rail it will turn heads no matter what.

              I believe that is an RTP sear pin-head showing near the top of the frame. It's the hump on the low side / back of the frame that lets you mill a pocket for the bottom end of the sear on the inside.

              That will be an interesting ano. I would like to see the frame blended with the body. You need contrast with the barrel for the front porting, and you will have that little kick of the frame under the valve... a wash might be nice. Or a lighter colored sponge...

                This is definately a slick build you have come up with and very unique. I do like it better with a shorter barrel. Do you have any issues with the valve alignment or anything ?

                  Not a fan; you went minimal on the rail (to say the least), and then went maximal on the body. Does not compute.

                  The original looks like a "business marker"; the new one looks like a wall hanger.

                  That grip is pretty awesome though. Too awesome for that body...

                  Definitely not on the A-Team.

                      Non sequitur. Logical awesome-ness does not compute.

                        I would like to get a pariah body as I do like the minimalist appearance. I have plans for an infected anno that went rancid. Blood Red accents of course.

                        Get an image of... Michael Jackson - Thriller - 2015. hmmm

                          I agree with the after picture. I think it would look nice with the color matched body. Its definately not for everyone.

                              Just cut the end off of the ULE body you already have. That's all the pariah is anyway, a ULE cut to AM/MM rail length. (I think)
