Curious. I got the Surefire flash hider and a new BCM upper (upper is just on an SBRed lower at the moment), need to have them put together and will start looking for a forend next month... gotta quit buying those frickin Ithaca shotguns

Awesome pic. How long will it be before guys start taking power tools to the range as a part of their load-out? I'm sure airsofters are already doing it. I wonder if I can send my DeWalt off to get multicam hydro-dipped? |

Ive noticed since summer my right eye getting blurry when trying to focus or with both eye's open with my eotech(s) . I play with my acog or mueller and it's better for me. ( fuckin age catching up to me ) Havent dicked with a Aimpoint ( 7yr's ) or T1 or H1 so It may just be the eotech's that bother my eye(s) . Best I go one of these day's to the eye doctor

You never know when an operation will requires building a gazebo. Remember HEARTS AND MINDS  I'm going to start taping extra blades and bits to all my power tools.

However, most of the pics posted of AFSOC people show a basic standard M4 in Block 1 or 1.5 configuration. There doesn't seem to be (yet) a clearly defined AFSOC variant. |

Essentially, there was a unit level purchase for AFSOC that looked awesome but it turned out to be a small sample of all the AFSOC rifles out there. The details of that are in the OP |

My build should be done this week hopefully. My t1 might come late though
I really like the VLTOR stock, maybe more than my sopmods. I have one of those ALS triggers coming for it too. |

I was about to comment on the gap between the rail and the FSB, and then I realized your front handguard cap was removed.... I like them both.
