Doesn't look too bad with the longer muzzle device on it.
They are actually quite fun to shoot. All the weight seems to be situated in the rear. Very little felt recoil or muzzle rise. Controls are convenient once you get used to their locations. Only negative is the ~11lb trigger pull with the factory trigger. This can be reduced to ~8lb by removing a secondary spring on the trigger, or by replacing the sear pack with a Timney (4 lb) or Geissele (5 lb).

You must get the 18" version with the permanently attached muzzle device. I have not seen a FDE one in the md compliant configuration yet.
