I’m not sure they are Block 1s or 1.5s. They look like your basic M4 MWS with an LPVO, KAC RAS, no VFG, older insight lights with a PEQ-15, the one guy has an SF scout with a clicky tail cap but on the right side. Blue force Gear Vickers slings with the standard side sling mount. These dudes have to be security forces. |

May not be correct term but you knew what I was referring to. This popped into my head for some reason. Prefered Nomenclature It is still a weird set up. For what they do I’m not sure the LPVO is the right choice. It is almost as if they got the cool guy toys but are still using their older rifles. It’s like racing tires on a tractor. |

I have 2 Remington contract SOCOM uppers I'm looking to get out their plastics HG's and into some RAS's for a correct 1.5 build. Is the secondary market the only place to find the RAS now? Has KAC stopped making them altogether? I'm tempted, against my better judgement, to just get a Troy rail. Would that be a suitable stand-in?

This was my first AR, it's a Colt 2013 config. LE prefix 6920 purchased in 2016. I replaced the 16" barrel with a Colt 14.5 SOCOM profile, PRI gassbuster big latch, Colt side sling mount, KAC rail, and Geissele SSA.
