Seemed like a nice guy, some old fudd was talking his ear off about some bullshit. I just recall the beret and noticed the patch on the helmet on the table. Quick search pulled up that I believe he was wearing the below SERE beret. http://i.thinimg.com/img/8wv4.jpg View Quote |

This is where I’m at with the encouragement of @wissota4 and now I’m trying to figure out what I want to do for an optic. Definitely want an Aimpoint. A comp M2 would probably be most correct, but I’m really wanting to use a Comp M4. I have a QRP mount that could go with a comp M2. Can I get some opinions?

Are Colt FDE buffer tubes ever used? Ive been going through a whole bunch of pages and don't think I saw anything.
Seems like a good way to cross off another box in shades of FDE bingo. |

So I have the stripped mk18 upper from brownells and my psa m4a1 lowers are coming I have the psa sba3 ept kit. I know i’m going to put a warcomp on mine but as far as optic i’m torn. I love Eotech’s but I wish they had a better battery life. I have an MRO that I like so far. Would I be crucified amongst this group if I went with a MRO over an Eotech?

What's the trick to getting the DD MK12 gas block on? I know it was either covered here or the Mk12 forums but I can't find it.
Thanks! |

Didn't the Block I CQBRs with Aimpoints use the QRP mount and Wilcox mount was seen more (or exclusively) on Mk18 Mod 0's?
