Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rothperson87: That’s awesome! Oh and nice recce rail. Does the can recess under the PRI tube or match up like the RAS?I still love the FF RAS and will be holding on to mine just in case I decide to change or do something different. This change was prompted by my growing fondness for the Holland and PRI tube. The FF RAS/Mod 1 recce is a slick setup but it can look extremely long on the front with a collapsible stock (IMO). This is why I ran the A1 stock on my build to "balance" the length. The fatter tube of the PRI with the longer AEM5 works better with a collapsible stock vs. the FF RAS (IMO). The adjustable stock is a nice pickup over the A1 and I also like the recce rail for more flexible optic placement. The front of the x42 NF is a bee's dick from touching off on the recce rail with the 1" NF rings. I may bump up a size to try and give a little clearance for an objective lens cover. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Outrider: Thanks for your contribution to the cause! Yes, the AEM5 recesses a hair under the rail with the 15.x" barrel.

As a tangent: something I've thought about is using this Spike's gas block/collar combo to get a nice barrel length/gas system combination where you can run the can as high as you want.

On a side note from all the lavishing over bipods.....
I'm not one to typically be anal about clone stuff, but I don't really see the point in having Block II's in a Navy Recce Thread when we already have a block II thread..... Scopes on them just make them block II's with scopes on them. Or maybe the general recce thread would be fine. |

Yeah, to me I view it as a CQBR with a scope on it. Sure, they may be using it as a recce, but you could do that with any gun. Which is why the 727 or M4 aren't really part of the whole recce build sheet. They just got used like one in the beginning and maybe reconfigured a little bit with fixed stocks to help make it more so.
To me it's going to have something more like a 16" barrel and 10" or longer rail. Of that era. There are plenty in here that show that build. Although there does seem to be some variation. That one guys is possibly an 18"....... And then there are the earlier ones that were obviously pre recce... ish. Anyways..... I guess one has to decide if it's the gun, or what they're doing with the gun. Because if it's the latter, all kinds of stuff could fit in. But to me, we have threads for all of those other builds. And just cuz someone slapped a scope on it, doesn't make it a Navy SEAL Recce type build. To me that is a very specific carbine. I would say if you're going to open it up to anything, you would start first with those builds that are pretty much the same. Because I wonder if CRANE supplied to Navy SEALs and some of the other services, the same type of build. Like that Air Force guy..... You know which one I'm talking about? ETA: Chapman...... |
