Well, I had been planning on putting a basic 3x-9x scope on it and a bipod of some sort. Since I started with a 20" Barrel (I got a really good deal on a Colt M16 upper with a 1:9 twist, of which I preserved the barrel and FS and gas tube assembly, nothing else), I wanted to do more of a target gun than anything else. However, I also have considered doing some kind of hybrid which is adequate for closer-in urban type stuff as well as more precision shooting.

As to the grip, that's actually a Command Arms grip. Has exchangeable front and back panels similar to the M&P to adjust to fit the hand. It also has a more 1911-like grip angle and is more comfortable for ME than the stock AR grip.
