as it seams, the PSG1 grip has only been on the prototypes, the new ones have a relativly round grip (sorry was my fault)

Standard grip, I reckon. Will cover up all the rails that need covering, too.

Right-o, lads. Update from the modelling dept. Covered up most of the rails on it, but I'm not quite sure the covers are the correct length/width compared to the handguard. I simply nabbed the ones from the PR M16 and scaled them to the 417 model. Looks about right, though. But if anyone could find the length of the M16's handguard and that of the 417, I'd be able to make it 100% correct.

What still needs work: buttstock and mag well, mainly. Then some brushing-up, before I get to work on the bipod (if you want one?) and the scope (can we use the PR L115 scope?). The ones in the render are simply there to give you an idea of the final layout.

Yeah i think a bipod is a good idea,need to check with our C2 dept, Celica??

Looks smooth. The spacing between the handguard on top and the scope is the only thing I am not so sure about.

As you can see, the space is small IRL.

Bipod? Go ahead.
KCT uses Harris bipods on various weapons. ;)

Right-o. What Harris bipod model? They make about a million different ones... :razz:

Think you should take off the rail covers on the top rail, because you almost never see anyone putting rail covers on the tops of their weapons.. or, if that's gonna increase the poly count too much, at least remove the back one so that it doesn't interfere with the scope.

Unless you have a better close up, it would seem that the extra couple of centimeters would in fact interfere with the scope. (Pissy mood sorry)

How's this?

As you can see, the scope nearly touches the top rail. But there are different scope mounts available, so that can be changed around. And on the model, the scope just clears the rail cover.

Yeah, thats what I meant. No problems then, I just felt like being a naggy sob.

Hey, you're a moderator - you are allowed to do that. ;)

You sounded a lot like me on the M24 for the Israelis... :razz:

Looks very good. As far as forward rail length, I think you should find out upper receiver size and base it on that.

My only thing is about the size of that optic. Seems very large for a military optic on a standard issue rifle, but maybe that's just the american ACOG addict in me speaking.

Must be the ACOG addict in you. ;) Look at the piccies, it's a big scope. But that'll be changed to the S&B one that was mentioned earlier.

For the rails, it looks to be roughly the same as the M16, so I'll go with that for now, until I can dig up anything more accurate.
