Understandably, there may not be many, but was curious if anyone was able to a little bit of a pic dump of OPERATIONAL GL/SSC pics. I was curious of setups (ie, time period/furniture/optics). |

I don't believe we've ever seen an issued GL/SSC.

No photographic evidence. May not have even been fielded, same as the Mk18 RIS II FSP.

The heat trick might not even work so, it might be best to pay to make it somebody else's problem. Plus Steve at ADCO does this for a living.

I had problems with my first CQBR and DD MK12 block. I just tried a Geissele block and it was fine. Who ever did the specs for the MK12 gas block is a fucking asshole.
|
|
|
Getting the mk12 gas block on my M4A1 was a pain in the ass. What worked best was taking the largest punch I had and put it on the front of the block and hammered it into place. The larger punch won't really mark up the block either.
|
|
|
So both the Badger and DD gasblocks are a massive pain the ass? Those are the only two options right?

Colt is a sub contractor also. Govt looks at a part as a part. If Beretta won a contract for spare magazines for the New M17/M18 pistols than they could be mixed.
