If anyone needs/wants a Larue LT622 SDO ACOG Mount for a USMC clone, shoot me a PM. Just figured I’d ask in here before I post up in the general EE since it’s relevant.

New furniture. I picked up a RAS M5 and some rail covers on the EE and replaced the A2 hand guards that came with my Aero upper. I've actually been shooting this one quite a bit with the iron sights and it's so much fun I may not even bother with an ACOG. Devote those funds to another rifle instead
 Coming from the A1/A2 generation, playing with the rail covers is kind of fun too. I looked at a lot of pics on line, and placement of the covers seems to be as much a function of individual preference as the accessories that are being mounted. With no VFG, lights, lasers etc., what seemed to make sense for me was getting the most comfortable left (weak) hand grip. How did you Marines set yours up - were there unit SOPs?   |

As far as panels go, in boot camp or for like drilling/parading purposes you have to have the panels a certain way for "look" but in the Marines infantry there's no unit SOP for the placement of them. This is mine a few moons ago and I rocked my rifle without panels; less dirt getting in little places that way and easier/faster cleaning when out in the field doing grunt stuffs   My squad

So I picked up one of the many available A4 uppers online with the M5 RAS installed. It's got top covers on it that I cannot move out of the way to get to the rear screw to take off the RAS top. Anyone come up with a solution for removing the cover to get at the screw to loosen it?

On the top cover that covers the screw, press down on the middle of the metal spring clip(just like a pushbutton) and use your other hand to push the cover into the reciever. The cover will go on the reciever 1913 rail, thereby exposing the screw. You have to keep pressure on that metal spring the entire time. |

Appreciate that. The cover appears to be out of spec and doesn't come close to being able to slide onto the receiver rail. I've been bending and twisting this thing for an hour and my arthritis is kickin!

Rail covers on the top are the devil. As for out of spec cover, one or two things could be an issue - 1) The screw on the rail is not screwed in, which will cause the rail to catch, or 2) The bottom tabs on metal retainer of the panel need bent out slightly to slide onto the rail, as some of the metal retainers won't "unlock" no matter how hard you press em. |

Which isn't to say it never happens, just that I have never seen it. Even in boot camp the one shorty we had only got the conversion for range qual. Before and after he was using the standard stock like everyone else. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LsuJon: Depends on your time frame and branch of service your going for. You see ACOGs the most because the Corps uses them exclusively now and had the A4s in front line service for allot longer than other branches. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LsuJon: Originally Posted By officerX: Thanks. Is there one that is considered the MOST correct? (Seems to be the ACOG, maybe?) Definitely. From my time in the Army, an M68 is "correct" for an A4, because all of our ACOGs had been pushed to guys with M4s in line units, and I was carrying an A4 in our regimental headquarters in 2005. I don't recall seeing a single Army A4 with an ACOG on it personally, although I've seen them in photos from other units in Iraq. |
