The 2 moa works better than 4moa. It was mounted for a week but never left house or even zeroed.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Seems to, ran through all the brightness settings fine. Came with the bikini cover but not the little lanyard that holds the three caps together.

I’m not sure they are Block 1s or 1.5s. They look like your basic M4 MWS with an LPVO, KAC RAS, no VFG, older insight lights with a PEQ-15, the one guy has an SF scout with a clicky tail cap but on the right side. Blue force Gear Vickers slings with the standard side sling mount. These dudes have to be security forces. |

May not be correct term but you knew what I was referring to. This popped into my head for some reason.   Prefered Nomenclature It is still a weird set up. For what they do I’m not sure the LPVO is the right choice. It is almost as if they got the cool guy toys but are still using their older rifles. It’s like racing tires on a tractor. |

This setup is pretty standard now a days as the Big army has adopted their own version of the sig tango to replace the ACOG. The Air Force simply piggy backed off of it. The insight lights arnt SU-233 and they have standard PEQ-15s. Army infantry:  Attached File |

I have 2 Remington contract SOCOM uppers I'm looking to get out their plastics HG's and into some RAS's for a correct 1.5 build. Is the secondary market the only place to find the RAS now? Has KAC stopped making them altogether? I'm tempted, against my better judgement, to just get a Troy rail. Would that be a suitable stand-in?

Tanodized A.R.M.S. #40L, part of the BIS II contract that got canned in late 2006. This one was part of a unit purchase sometime between 2008 and 2010. Rare piece of SOPMOD history, first and third-hardest step towards an alternate history Block II.
