I love that cheek riser. I actually just got the CAR one for my XM177E2, but I may get the M4 one considering that is what he has on that CAR stock in that photo and I like the indents on the side.

That is a way cool pic of an older A2.

@JupiterMaximus very nice. And very nice vehicle it's sitting on. What is that exactly? Is it one of those Dodges made during the war? Although I'm not sure it looks like one of those. I'm not sure what that is.....

Very cool. Got any pics of the whole thing? I think my BIL was looking at buying one of those once. What kind of engine does something like that have? Is it diesel? Big 4 Cylinder? Just curious.

I don't have any pictures of it currently. I don't know a lot about the details, but it is definitely diesel. My son knows what it is, but he's the gear head.
