That's the notched-looking rail on the carrying handle and on the forearm. It permits easy, fast attachement of scopes, lights, and other accessories without change of zero. Most newer AR's have them. They are available for attachement to older ones, as well.

Looks good to me. Assuming that the onerous AWB sunsets next year, I'll be looking for the semiauto-only version with intent to purchase. The assault weapons Ban will sunset on 9-14-04 its just a question of whether legislation will pass to renew it.
