    Haven't checked out any references, but your picatinny rails seem way too small. Also, all your edges are very very tight and will not bake down well. Not sure about the strong features on the stock either, but again, didn't check out any ref's ;)

    All that stuff!

    The rear sight is waaaaay off too, and the rail it's mounted on.

    Magazine, and gas assembly look a bit off too, I'd go back and collect some more references to fix it up, because otherwise it looks pretty good.

    EDIT: Just noticed you are missing the carry handle too, you have the notch,but not the handle itself:

    @misticchbo: ack. i knew i was forgetting something. Handle. and i forgot the mag release too. rats. Thanks for the crit, I defenitely agree with the sight rail for sure- it's defenitely to short and wide and minus that hole. I was, however, modeling a different rear sight..for which the reference has vanished like a sneeze in the wind. I suppose i'll just swap it out for the one you brought up - as it's the easiest to find on google :D
    thanks for the help.

    Finally got to get back on this one. rebuilt the rear sight and made some additional changes to a few minor details thanks to a friend who owns the gun. Also got the handle on there and a mag release. On to the low poly!falUpdate.jpg

    looking pretty nice, though that carry handle is way too small. In the ref you can see it's a good bit bigger than the ejection port, yours is much smaller

    All these issues still persist..

    Check out the rails here:

    i wanted to try to nail >10K polys...but i'm kind of stuck at 12k. I'm not sure what else i can realy cut at this point, though without compromising things.
    I may swap out for a more blocky grip, but that'll only get me so far. I'm beginning to think i'm just gonna deal with being a little over.

    There is alot of edges there you can lose without killing your overall detail...

    Poly distribution is a bit poor atm, why are there holes in the bottom of the foregrip when you don't have magazine grooves modeled in? The former won't be seen where as the latter will :P
