Traded a lot of rare parts for it, the guy mainly wanted a BNIB tan #40L I had and threw in the combat issued rail and crane tested rear sight as an incentive, ended up parting with some pretty rare stuff that I wasn't gonna use anyway

EDIT: top of page photo, website did that thing where it refused to update the page list til someone else posted and I couldn't edit

Done. Irons, CCO and ACOG zeroed.  I like how KAS rails fit the bottom.

Greyfoxg posted a picture on Instagram the other day of a Ranger with a 14.5" Block II with a M4-2000. I assume that it came from their SCARs. Pretty cool to see as I'd never seen that combo before.

Any other pictures of Block IIs or URG-Is with M4-2000s out there?

So I have yet to see a single pic of an actual M4-2000 in use. The pic you are referring to is, like you touched on, a SCAR-SD.

The M4-2000 does have an NSN, and while that doesn't mean much, I do believe that there was some unit purchases made. I've heard / seen multiple people mentioned they used that can while in service. Units like Army sniper sections. However, I haven't come across any pictures in my searches and we know that services members aren't always a reliable source.

Matech are simultaneously cheaper feeling but nicer to use. They default to the up position which is preferred and the elevation/windage feels really close to a carry handle. The peep itself is just a bit chintzy.

KAC sights are truly just for last ditch.

My Eotech died three mags in at Clone Rifles, so I replaced it with a 2007 manufactured TA31 RCO that Thoroughbred had for sale. Really like how it looks, an SU-237 is definitely gonna look fantastic on the prototype build once I track one down.

Question on torque wrench oritnetatio when torque RIS II barrel nut: are the given ft/lbs values based on the torque wrench being in line, or or parallel to the wrench tool?

If parallel, what is the proper orientation? In the same direction torque is applied, or the opposite direction?

I've tried a lot of different Block II setups, this NSW setup w/ the NXS 2.5-10x24 is my favorite.  Short and fairly light for a rifle that can cover 1-750 yards.  Highly recommend if you get the chance.

@combat_diver do you, or anyone else know which is the correct tangodown VFG for the block ii package?

I know the BGV mk46(Surefire tape switch compatible) was selected earlier as part of the SCAR equipment package; but with so many of the phased replacement equipment coming from ITI(optics, lights and lasers) that was used during the slow rollout of the block 2 suite, was the Mk46 carried over to the block 2 suite, or was the BGV-ITI grip selected?  Both have NSNs

I can’t figure out how to locate that MCN, and the NSN is for the DD grip;  but visually it looks like the ITI which is what I suspected

Much appreciated;  still unsure if I want to spring for 2 of the DDs so I can get 5 tangodowns for what 2 DDs are currently selling for

I've seen this graphic before, but has anyone ever seen a FSP GL/SSC rail? I've only ever seen the flat top version.

Side note, any idea how feasible tracking down the weapon shot counter would be? Would probably be completely useless but I want to eventually put together a 100% complete deployment kit (in 15-20 years or so at this rate) and it'd be neat to have at least for show

Still working on my RC1 approval, and need to save up for an su230 for the 14.5, but here are my twins

Scored a NOS 14.5, C MP stamped SOCOM profile barrel for the 14.5, and a nos crane 10.3 GI barrel for the cqbr.  non nsn 4 prong on the 14.5, when I find another I’ll swap the nsn marked one on the cqbr

IIRC they were MMC's, same as the old chuck taylor combat master and long discontinued

Never seen that Black Hills MK255 Mod 1 RRLP ammo before (seems like a USSOCOM issue only round?), looks like that is a frangible round designed for training and real world use where over-penetration is an issue.
