So I completing everything tomorrow as far as platform related I will post pics after muzzle work is done. This is getting expensive fast! I've got KAC rear and matech rear I just can't justify paying 190 for the front when I still have the xps3.0 and weapon light which I leaning toward the m6x long gun just wish it was in tan but I suppose a little airbrush work can fix that. Anyway since KAC front is a no go for right now I'm thinking FDE MI front I do I have HK style troy laying around but I'm open to options I have a HK style troy but I'm thinking of leaving it on the recce...
Edited for content. Parts currently owned and installing pending muzzle work tomorrow. B5 enhanced sopmod Tan with 7076 4 position which I believe is correct? Standard trigger gaurd A2 Pistol Grip *wiating on cav arms c9 FDE...might install BCM mod0 tan Carbine gas system RIS II FDE mk12 gas block WOA LPK less trigger SSA Trigger BCM Upper 14.5 DD m4 barrel DD Superior flash suppser * not Block II KAC mico 600m Rear/matech rear colt FA BCG with BCM sopmod upgrade H buffer noveske qa endplate tear drop FA currently in route Not in my stock VFG light/laser XPS3.x Front BUIS I built my recce for a SHTF I think this is going to take it rightful place though. Can't wait to post pics and get some input |

If you don't get the KAC taupe front sight, you will regret it and end up selling whatever sight you did get to help finance the KAC sight. Trust me, I know

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. |
I'm about to hell the with total clone right the 190 for a KAC front is just plain crazy. I know it's probably worth but it's a buis I got a handle on one but I think I'll pass till the rest is complete I personally think the XPS3 is more important than the BUIS at this point. I want one but damn it's hard to say yes when there are so many options that will work just as well or exceed the KAC. The guts are sure as hell block II as well as furniture so when do draw the line? I want to be a part of the club I don't think I can afford admission at this point.

Plenty of Block II's in the wild that aren't running BUIS at all... just wait on them and you will want to add them later!

Yep, the BUISs are among the last parts I added to both my Block II and Mk12. It's pretty fk'n hard to justify spending that much on parts you'll likely never hafta use. |

It's an Ares Armor Huskey Amentum Slider Sling, which is very similar to the VTAC Wide sling. It took some practice, but i'm loving and prefer the slider on the Ares sling. |

I continually and consistently try to hoard as many PR clones as possible - you know, to outfit an entire rifle squad when the zombies come. A 12.5" could still be a "SOPMOD M4A1" for a small sample. The RIS II GL/SSC was designed because one unit is/was using 12.5" barreled M4A1s - cut down M4A1 barrels, 12.5" was as short as you could go and preserve the M203 notch on the barrel and have a short barreled configuration that was compatible with the M203. I posted a mock-up I made on pimpmygun () a while back: http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff502/augeekim/125.jpg I don't think I've seen a verifiable photograph of one before, and my understanding is that they're rather rare, being more or less exclusive to one unit that has a preference for them. As for the GPS on the buttstock / Foretrex series GPS - understand that I wouldn't call it my "primary" GPS. The Foretrex, while an awesome little unit does not have a whole lot of features. If you only had one type of GPS device, I would not recommend it be a Foretrex. Personally I just hate having crap on my wrists. I can barely wear a watch, and I'm very picky about that watch being low profile, small face, analog only, no other functions, no rubber, leather or fabric band, small face. Actually, the best watches for me are the cheap leather band Timex's that you can get at AAFES for $6.99. A GPS on my wrist? Oh god, shoot me now. The TTP for using the buttstock pouch to me is conjunction with a PLGR or other larger GPS that spends time in a pouch. The "hands free" GPS lets you spot check your position, gives you a "breadcrumb trail" when patrolling, sling your rifle in front of you while you're writing down a grid on a pad where you can read off all ten digits without having to check and re-check a larger GPS unit. Basically any time you need to pull a quick grid reference on, you just glance down at the Foretrex. Worst case scenario when you're doing a MEDEVAC, the grid is right there, your hands will be busy enough without having to pull a GPS out of a pouch or look at a PLGR, or make someone run to the truck to pull a grid off the FBCB2. ~Augee Decided that I was going to do this. May even do an LMT M203 for the only major stamp not in my collection. I had ADCO lop the end off of a 14.5 inch barrel. Still trying to decide if I want to put an Eotech 553 on this upper or pull my ACOG off my MK18 upper. I missed the boat on the Elcans. I still need to get the rest of the phased replacement parts. Pretty well stuck on my SF scout light though. ETA: Has anyone ever seen an ARMS 40L on a Block II gun? RC |
