M249, I remember seeing that in the scar thread in a little different configuration. I thought the 951 in the old configuration looked pushed up a little more on the rail. Did you only have it attached by one of the screws? Nice rifle and I like the stand also.

Bloodsport2885: Because if your riflemen can't reach it, your marksman can. If your marksman can't reach it, your sniper can. If your sniper can't reach it, your arty/air can. If they can't reach it then fuck that target. He isn't even worried about you.

No quad rail? doesnt matter, still a great looking rifle Thanks. I wanted one when I got out of the Army, but couldn't afford it back then. When I finally could, I went straight for Colt. No doubt there are better, but I wanted what I had...and what always worked for me...even with serious abuse. After replacing the trigger, she is a dream. Of course, this one is like a gateway drug because now I want another. |

Is the NT4 flash hider something you would find on an M4?

Hatred originating from disreputable gentlemen is going to continually persist.

In order to comply with 'Clone' specs, what are accepted muzzle devices/flash hiders/comps and what about stocks? I have the SOCOM 14.5" barrel coming from Bravo and I have a Magpul STR stock. I also have the KAC M4 RAS as well as a Magpul Carbine hand guard.
Thanks in advance. Mac |

I say the number 1# choice in my book is the KAC M4QDSS flashider & Suppressor mount and is long enough w/shims to make a 14.5 a 16.00.

Mac View Quote I think this thread is less a "clone" thread these days than just a place for people to put their M4 barrel based builds. That being said, for "clone" specs for a standard M4 MWS would be the A2 comp (flash suppressor) - either on an SBR, a 14.7" barrel, or with a spacer and/or extended version. For a SOPMOD M4 (which would be what the "SOCOM" profile barrel would be most appropriate for) it could be the A2 comp, the KAC M4QD comp, or the Surefire FH-556-RC. For stocks, the "standards" would be the Colt CAR, M4 stock, or Gen. I SOPMOD. Of course there have been a lot of variations, individually and unit purchased, but these are the "standards." The "Standard Issue M4" thread, the "SOPMOD M4" thread, and the "Block II" threads will have lots more specific photos and information. ~Augee |

I agree with Augee. He is all wise.
