When did TA01NSNs start to get replaced?I know early 2000s they were everywhere but with the TA31 being big Army issue now, they seem super rare for anything past early GWOT.

For SF/SOF though, the Elcan 1-4 out numbers the ACOG probably 10 to 1 at least, from what I see. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By StealthGuy: If you're talking about SOF guns, you're about a decade late. I decided to keep Acogs with Docters (also shown) to get the same feature of 4x or 1x, but am wondering if I should get back one Specter in FDE. I only collect US Military rifles and gear and want to make sure to grab a Specter if - say - they will be more available in the future with other branches other than SOF

Hi folks. Pictured below is my M4 clone. I'm thinking about getting an M203. Are there any m203 sights that can fit on the M4 without moving the IR laser from the top of the rail?

Shame about those lasers....they all seemed to get parts broken off of them shortly after we got em. Had to send them back for repair/replacement but there weren't any extras to send back out. Too bad

I'm sorry if this was already covered somewhere, but is the standard Aimpoint Comp M2 thumb mount correct for a Block I or Block 1.5, or does it need a Wilcox mount specifically?
Can someone give me some insight on why Socom wanted the Wilcox mount instead of the OEM Aimpoint mount used my everyone else in the first place? It seems like it doesnt really save on rail space since the comp is as long as its original mount and the amount of rail the Wilcox grips seems to make it way less robust in case of drops. It might save a tiny bit of weight but I just dont really understand the thought process |

It might save a tiny bit of weight but I just dont really understand the thought process FWIW, I run both as that's what a few of my surplus M2s came with. Eta: this likely has alot to do with usage: "Mount is extremely robust and easily integrates with the Wilcox AN/PVS14/18 NVG Weapon Mount. " |
