Honest opinions on this camo job I like it! One of my criticisms of our "laundry bag/snake skin" camo is that the pattern is too small, making it effective at very close range; beyond several feet the pattern itself is unrecognizable and the primary/underlying color variations take over. The bigger/blockier patterns break up the outline of the weapon at longer ranges where you actually where you want it to. |

I get the idea, but what about basically every camo pattern on a US combat uniform? Aren't most of those patterns relatively small as well? Aside from maybe woodland. |

That is the problem with most of our digitals (UCP, MARPAT, etc.): the "pixels" are too small so at a relatively short distance their patterns become indiscernible and they just look gray, or tan or whatever. Think DCU (or even "chocolate chips") versus desert MARPAT. |

Here is my clone thus far. You Clone People got in my head, so I went ahead and purchased a 6920 OEM, sent the upper off to Adco and had a chop job done instead of being happy with my 10.5 upper. I compare it in these pics to the PSA Premium 10.5 FN CHF barreled upper. I may as well form 1 the lower since Im already this into it. I just hate that I dont have need for the PSA CHF 10.5 upper. It probably should have been good enough. Who knows? Maybe I'll cut the sight block for a different build.
I think I am going to buy a NT4. Spendy, but cant question the quality. Colt 10.3 is on bottom, PSA 10.5 on top. 
And my Form 1 came back on the Noveske lower, so I took that pistol tube off and put the stock on. Here are some of the details. QCD Endplate, PRI and etc. KAC M4QD

I've got a mod 0ish clone. I'm regretting the .070 gas port size a bit though since it won't run 223 pressure ammo at all. What gas port size would you guys recommend to run 223 spec ammo? No plans to suppress this one by the way.

I just threw in an extra car buffer that I had from an old stock kit... runs great unsuppressed now but suppressed its a little overgassed. because you don't plan to suppress, I doubt you'll ever beat your gun to death. but after shooting PMC XTAC M193... its my new favorite range ammo... at 330 per case and the screaming deals you can get from PSA with ammo and mags, its hard to beat for factory M193 in terms of accuracy and performance. I'm converted from the IMI M193, it runs great but never really grouped all that well out of the majority of my guns. |

I still prefer a M79 over the M203 or M302. Longer barrel = more range and I've used it as light mortar in built up areas. (use a angle protactor to figure range and mark inside of sling. Step on sling for range on ground, ref 1970s M79 OM) Carried a 79 in Iraq 03-06'. Course I've also carried a M14 NM, M1911A1s, and a M1919A6 converted back to a M1919A4 as the buttstock was missing. Not much .30 cal ammo available however. Only had one belt of 4 AP, 1 APT
and since I've side tracked, back to Mk18s/URGs.
