    I'll definitely take this into consideration. My opinion of DD is primarily regarding cosmetic details, but I also care about function and affordability.

    OK, I have to ask....

    In most of the photos with ARs with scopes on this forum, the scopes are all mounted WAAAYYYYY forward. I mean, I look at all my scoped ARs, none have rear obj forward of the charging handle.

    Do you all shoot them with the stocks collapsed? Or is the eye relief really that long??? I see a lot of Vortex - I have plenty of Vortex scopes. Their eye relief is pretty short....

    What gives??

    that made me go and look at mine. Scopes set at the charging handle. One of my magnifiers is behind because it has less eye relief. For most rifles I do not shoot with the stock fully extended. Probably one position forward from full.

    The DD in the picture looks a too far forward for me.

    From what I understand is that they aren't because of his divorce and remarriage

    By the time of the divorce, Gaston had already locked Helga out of the family mansion and sacked their three children (Brigitte, Gaston Jr and Robert) from the family business and any daily operations of the business.But as part of the divorce settlement each of the children received 10 million each and with Helga getting 80 million and asset holdings for another 15 million.

    this doesn’t seem like a lot with Glock being worth billions
