Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver: Yeah, really not relevant to this thread for SOCOM. Army and Marines would differ. Army issuing more Aimpoint M68 CCO over the ACOG and Marines using very few M68s. Types of units in Army different also. CD Thanks! That is sort of what I had concluded from looking at photos of the period. |

Ah, didn't even notice looking on my phone. I think it threw me off looking just like the base of the MAMS. Really nice.

Can I velcro the surefire pressure pad in-between the rails? Does it have to mount to one of the rails?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By country_boy87: Can I velcro the surefire pressure pad in-between the rails? Does it have to mount to one of the rails? I deployed with the pad velcro in between the rails. Worked fine but it was only for maybe a 1 year period during spin up and deployment. The PEQ's were usually removed after deployment till the next training use. I sometimes had to use Shoe-Goo after the sticky on the velcro failed. So long term velcro is probably not a good option. I also used electric tape to attach it to the KAC grip. It worked fine taping the wire and switch down. |

In between the top and side rail secured with ranger bands works for me. Rail covers help.
Zip ties are another option. |

I can't find my pic anymore, but if you place the tape switch at either 10:30 or 1:30 between the rails you can use Larue index clips with the wire management ends to hold it in place. I accidentally discovered it one day then proceeded to use that method for an entire year in Afg.

I'm probably the only person on the planet that likes this setup but it really works for me naturally in both vfg and a thumb forward grip (im a lefty). The rifles a pig but for its specific purpose, it's perfect, especially under nv. It just happens to be cloney-ish. Trying to redo my cable management now that you guys are talking about it.

When I build mine it will have the surefire ct556 flash huder as all my others are set up for a surefire can. Its more of a reminder of what I carried most of my service vs perfect clone. |

I went with a griffin can that can use standard a2 hiders that will fit all my mws or block 1 clones. Works great. Although of course I wish I had an nt4. |

Although of course I wish I can nt4. I refuse to participate in NFA post-41F and am stuck with my Saker 762. I’ve been looking recently wishfully that there was some Mount I could use on the BFA ring on the A2/KAC hiders. It pains me to put the SiCo hiders and brakes on my builds. All that work to have a disgusting muzzle device on the end. The lack of a correct suppressor doesn’t bug me but incorrect muzzle devices sure as hell do. |

My 556 can has been on all of my A2's from various manufacturers, including the BCM A2X. All are very solid, accurate, and have minimal poi shift. |
