I gave up my dreams in Army SF for her because she couldn't handle it anymore, told her I'd go to school instead. And then she left me for a Marine... Bitches from Tampa.... On the plus side I'm about to graduate with a degree in electrical engineering thanks to her. Pic thread!

I had my SCAR 16 for almost a year and ended up selling it cause I persoanlly did not feel that it was a huge improvement over the 5.56 AR platform. I would be interested in aquiring the 17S though just to give it a run against my 16" SR25 EMC. |

I contacted SureFire and they said to go by the lumen ratings on the packaging. The newer packaging with the box will be the 200-lumen models. That said, if you find a good deal on a M600A you can pick up a 200-lumen KX2C head from Brightflashlights.com for around $100. In fact, I had an older KX2C head (120-lumen) that I sold on eBay for about $100 which I turned around and got an updated head from Brightflashlights. |

I also like the SureFire switches better––in particular the SR0X series––as the Insight ones seem gaudy. If I could tuck an Insight switch in a TangoDown grip I might try one someday, perhaps on an "enhanced" (i.e., 1.5-esque) Mk18. There is a TangoDown grip for Insight Switches, it's the ITI models. |

So the EXPS 3-0 was supposed to ship this week but apparently won't be in stock until April 5th. I canceled the order and just went with a T-1 from Larue.

Thanks for the heads up, though. |

Own a SCAR 16 and enjoy having it. While I wont be selling it, I greatly prefer shooting the AR. SCAR has a lot of reciprocating mass and wobbles when shot. I'm not saying its bad, but the AR is smoother. |

Here is a picture of the Insight VBL III aka the WMX-200 in use. Granted it might not be on a Block II but I have to say it's the first picture of it I've seen out in the wild. I didn't want to embed it because it was huge and didn't know if it would resize. Make sure to zoom in to get a good look.

I'm not saying its bad, but the AR is smoother. I dedicated 2 years to the SCAR and I find I do everything better with it No doubt spending a good deal of time behind the trigger of the SCAR would improve my accuracy and speed. However, these days I am no longer in a unit that is dedicated to training everything that is direct action. We do not spend countless hours on the range, and frankly my time in the military is coming to an end. I feel like I have a good skill set with the AR and will probably only make it to the range, as a civilian, to keep that skill set fresh. I just dont have the time or the money to get to the range and dedicate time to relearning everything I already have on a new weapon system. Granted, the SCAR is probably very similar to the AR, so it would not be nearly as drastic as changing to something more obscure as say an M14 (or whatever). |

Interesting thing happened tonight. Went to pack up my rifle for an afterwork trip to the range tomorrow and my rail was loose. There was some wiggle in it. So, being overly curious, I removed the rail, 40 minutes later (damn screws) when it was off, i was able to take off the barrel nut by hand... it was super loose. WTF! Did I skip a step installing this thing? So, even after I tighted up the barrel nut, I still can't get the rail to stay secure again, what am I forgetting?

I'm assuming it was a problem with the Elcan sitting on there too much... send it to me so your upper will work again.

So the big brown truck came today with some goodies for my upper receiver build!
Daniel Defense M4-A1 RIS II FSP Daniel Defense BCG Daniel Defense upper receiver set Daniel Defense A1.5 rear sight Not keeping everything totally Block but hey, whatever! I was going to get the non FSP rail but holy crap those KAC front and rear sights are expensive! I have a Daniel Defense CHF barrel on the way too, looks like that will be here tomorrow or Friday I hope! Then I'm either going to order a Micro T1 or a 557 this next week. Which is why I went with the FSP rail, I couldn't see spending $300~400 dollars on KAC flip sights I'm really never going to use. Boat load of cash just for looks. I almost thought about just ordering a set of Airsoft KAC sights just to fill out the build but then I thought no, i want them to work reliably IF I ever need them to. My lower is pretty much done. I picked up a Smith and Wesson lower locally. Threw a Daniel Defense LPK into it and bought a Magpul CTR stock. Again, not Block but I really don't like SOPMOD stocks. Basically my rifle is going to look more like the DD M4 but with a RIS II FSP instead of a Omega-X FSP. |

I think I like my phased replacement rifle more than my block II.
I think this is mainly due to the "socom" barrel in my block II. But the 1. Seems alot more handy and appropriate size and weight. |

Those DD tools that come with the rail are not made to be used multiple times. The teeth on the free barrel nut wrench easily stretch and round off if used more than a couple times.

It's a standard old ar tool but I forgot what it's called. Maybe a pri or DPMS barrel nut wrench? |

Definitely still thinking about getting a SCAR though... the 17S when it came out was one of the best battle rifles there was and gets alot of use today. the 16 on the other hand came out and was found to not really offer anything over the M4A1, especially the Block II's and they stopped ordering them. |
