Hope you'll get what you want soon.
Meanwhile, I am very impressed by the fact that your son is serving in the Marines.

Well done.

Very nice!!!! You must've taught him to shoot. 1/2 the time I see military guys they have their finger so deep in there you'd think the trigger is on the 2nd joint of their finger........ Maybe that's how their taught??

I bet you are proud!!! Give him a big "thanks for serving" from us here.

Thanks, yep we are proud of him and I will pass on your thanks. Yea, I taught him. We spent alot of time shooting the last couple of years.

His PMI-Primary Marksmanship Instructor asked him about it. He was happy that someone had actually spent some time at the range before coming to boot.

His PMI is a big time 3 gunner and Service Rifle competitor.

The boy was pissed that he missed Expert by 2 points. His rifle had 2 FTF on the Table 2 firing which is close range, moving targets. It ended up costing him several points on the movers.

Those dang boot camp guns. It seems like a miracle they still shoot with how much they clean them and beat on them.

The BDC stadia lines are different. The RCO-A4 is calibrated for M855 out of a 20" barrel. The 31F is for a 16" barrel. You can use either optic, but if you mismatch the BDC and barrel length, then you will have to figure out at what distances the holdovers would actually correspond to.

Funny you should say that, that's what he said in a letter..."If I thought they would let me, I would just have send that one that is on your M1A Socom."

Which is a od canvas M14 sling.

Not sure if I should play here, but here goes:

Still need a forward assist (it's a Colt Expanse upper from my spare parts box) and probably a lot of other things to qualify for clone status. I actually haven't decided which direction to go on this. I was originally going to build another C7A2 clone, but I also wanted an M16A4 clone so it's sort of a mutt of both for now.

I waited and waited until I found the right one at the right price and I'm glad I waited for the correct Acog. Look on a website called Optics agent.

Best price I can find on that Acog

They do have a good price on it. A local shop quoted me about the same as them and I can get it elsewhere with current sale & coupon code for even less. The local shop didnt have a red chevrons but they did have a green 4x chevron and a ta01nsn and both are beautiful so im pretty sure Id like an RCO on the m16a4

I had found a couple of Acogs online that were on sale as well as a few here that were good prices, but they were not the correct Acog. Two Sundays ago I went out to a buddys house to do some rifle shooting. After getting it zeroed, I was hitting a half size ipsec style steel target at 400 yards in a 8 to 12 mile an hour crosswind with it.

I was using 62 grain m855 and the BDC was just about dead on.

Order has been placed for an rco a4 and pics will be added when i get it. I sure hope i enjoy it on the rifle because its hard to commit $1200 to just a little optic. anxiously awaiting arrival

What's going on with that shiny spot above the selector? Y'know, the spot an auto sear pin would be?

They are good shooting barrels. Ive seen a couple Colt barrel assemblies pulled from new ar15a4`s pop up for sale.

Well...I was wanting to do it on a budget as much as I could, because I knew I was going to spend the bulk of my money on the correct Acog for it.

Brownell's had High Standard 1/7 barrels with a F marked FSB on sale for $150. The con was that it has no delta ring assembly, no front sight, no sling swivel and no flash hider. It is chrome lined and had a triangle handguard cap on it, which does not matter for the M5 RAS, you can use either the round or the triangle.

It's marketed as a Service Rifle competition barrel. I figured what the hell, I'll give it a shot and see. I had the rest of the parts needed in a parts box to finish it out. If I was not happy with it, Brownell's has the no BS return policy, I'll send it back and get something else.

So far I have been happy with it. I was hitting a 60% size ar500 IPSC target at 400 yards with it, on a windy day with the wind gusting between 8-12mph.
