    Two words: mirror.

    Oh wait, that was one. LOL

    I just use a handheld mirror, turn my back towards the sink/bathroom-mirror and hold the mirror up to look back there. Well, I actually do it all blind (without glasses) and then once I'm done, I use the mirror and look it over. Its really a lot easier than you'd think. Just go slowly, and once you get a majority of it done, you can hear the difference in the trimmer between cutting hair and not. I run the trimmer over my entire head pretty quickly, then once I get a majority, I go back and go slower, really paying attention to how far I'm moving the trimmer. Lots of criss cross patterns (forehead to back of head, back of head to forehead, right ear to left ear, left ear to right ear, etc) and you won't miss any spots. Then all you have to do is look at it when you're finished.

    Where I really have trouble is my neckline. My hair grows down my neck quite a ways, so I just use my electric razor ( 3 circular blades style, for face) and shave that up for a while. Its hard to shave off too much that way and I get a nice clean neck line every time.

    BC, I think next time I'll just do it myself, and see how it comes out.

    i found a replacement, but used the opportunity to change it from a carbine length to a rifle length stock. It's got the Magpul PRS on it now. The difficult part now is getting eye relief set while not impeding the charging handle.

    Im thinking that I can go to a lighter load still and have it function correctly. I'll load some up later tonight and see what happens at tomorrow's session.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
