Thanks CD.  Much appreciated.  Any idea who makes that 45 degree offset Aimpoint T-1/T-2 mount off the pic rail?  Larue and then Aimpoint made the original ECOS Mark 6 kit 12 o'clock Aimpoint mounts.  However, neither of them are making the 45 degree pic rail offset mounts being used currently.  I know that for certain.  Leupold apparently doesn't make a 45 degree offset mount other than direct interface for the DeltaPoint.  From your pic based on shape & size of what can be seen below the T-1, I suspect Daniel Defense.  Doesn't look like KAC.  Thanks in advance for any info.

Any chance of a pic of that 45 degree pic rail T-1 mount from the other side?

This is far from a full range report, but these are shots #7-11 out of my 20S. Conditions were terrible. Heavy, wet snow, couldn’t get the bench set up, and I was having trouble getting myself situated while prone to be high enough to see over the snow. I sighted in with 150gr surplus, only took two shots for that. Then I shot a 5 round group with the 150, then switched to the SSA 168gr that Brownell’s has a good deal on for the 5 rounds shown below. And then I called it a day.

Unfortunately the target was ruined from snowfall on the drive home so I wasn’t able to mic it. The flyer was the first shot, I don’t think I pulled it so I wonder if it was caused by manual bolt release vs autoloading the subsequent shots. But maybe it was me. Including the flyer, it appears to be around an inch, and a bit under if I exclude it. But I’m pretty happy with these results.

Not sure on posting links to a particular gun auction site, but there's a FA762SV listed if you know where to look.

Inquiring minds can IM me and I'll hook it up with the link.

A couple years ago I decided to try out the KDG stock and sold off my factory ugg boot. Well, I’ve had a change of heart and the ugg boot is drawing me back in. Love the KDG stock but the ugg just looks at home on the gun. So I’ve been hovering over the EE looking to buy one back but every post ends up being neutered and stripped down. Why are so many like that? People breaking the cheek riser? Pulling it off for some other reason? Genuinely curious here.

1.5".  1.375s are also pretty comfortable for most people and the lowest that will clear the rear sight.

Probable given it’s a 17 with 5.56 conversion, which FN has never sold to civies as far as I’m aware and seems to be run by Rangers most commonly.

Well isn't this peculiar? Photo tagged as US SOF operating in Columbia. Of particular interest is the Mk17 on the right. It's setup with a fixed AR stock adapter, rail extension, and perhaps most notably, what appears to be an AAC Mk13-SD suppressor. Certainly haven't seen that before.

It's definitely not a Mk20 if that's what you're implying.

Take a closer look, especially at the barrel support screws—there's only two. The canoe is far too short to be a CSR and the 3 o'clock rail begins just past it. The stock adapter is also aftermarket, either VLTOR or Mesa Tactical. FN's part is of notably different design and color. Unlike the CSR, this rifle's forend appears vented similar to that of a Midwest Industries or PWS rail extension. It's also lacking the forward QD mount present on the CSR.

Of course, I could be wrong, but the weight of visual evidence strongly suggests this is a modified Mk17.

It doesn't really seem that odd to me. It's definitely a 17. But all the can options they have for the 17 right now kinda suck. It seems like the older long boy AAC cans have all been phased out. And so if for whatever reason there's not a good Surefire or FN option sitting around, why not throw an AAC FH on there and run the 13 can. If I remember correctly it's a titanium can right? So from weight alone it might be nice to run on there.

And running it in more of a precision rifle configuration (LR scope, bipod, extension rail) vs. a battle rifle with ELCAN, he's probably no just mag dumping on it. So the can should be more than capable for that given it's rated for 338.

Had to pull off a FN FH off a spare barrel assy couple months ago to replace a damaged FH on a Mk17.  Just got these FH for replacements.  Mount them as needed.

Check the reference photos at the bottom of page 2. Although it has a 16" barrel, it's the only Mk17 with a SV suppressor that I recall seeing pictures of. @Great_Balls_of_Fire has done an exceptional job replicating it just above.

Funny how they say it's not rated for a SCAR 17 but it can handle .338, don't see how it would be an issue in a precision role though with a slow ROF.

I agree (and with TinyCrumb's assessment above). I didn't take the pic and just wanted to cite the source for a little context.

This set is the official SOCOM-issue Armorer’s Block Set for the FNH SCAR MK16 & MK17. All major service procedures for this weapon system can be accomplished easily using the 5 piece set. Allows barrel service, trigger module repair, and bolt disassembly/reassembly for both calibers. Mounts MK13 grenade launcher for inspection and service as well.

Not a sticker, the SU-279A/PVS is engraved with a data matrix and additional information on top of the objective bell. What specific info? I'm not exactly sure. Most likely S/N, NSN, CAGE code and DOM would be my guess. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures clear enough to resolve those details. Perhaps @Combat_Diver could help us get a better view whenever he has the opportunity.

View Quote
The part number of the Leupold scope cited in the Mk20 OM is 118778, which corresponds to the DAGR kit with TReMoR2 reticle. Searching the same NSN #1240-01-619-6564 reveals that ECOS-O deliveries with the TReMoR3 reticle began OCT 2015. So while there are two versions in service, neither model is illuminated.
