In that last video, what light, stock, and vertical grip is the guy have on his rifle from the 3:00 mark on? The stock looks like a Magpul SL or SL-K.
Also, is the guy at 0:30 using a Surefire X300? What light is that? |

We will see. |

Somebody talk to me as I'm just baffled at the fact that tightening the bolts pushes it down? One would think it would pull it upwards......

Allot of the guys in my unit ran them, and some even mounted their peq16s on them. I did not trust them for that. However, they are nice for getting an extended grip and our command didn't care about us adding them. |

Was the Redi-Mag used on Block 1’s? If so, were they milled away or stock?

One of the original items of a Block 1 and stock (not milled). Tried it and didn't like the weight balance offset. As a soldier carry the gun allot. Great tool if your rifle is going to sit in a closet or trunk ready for self defense. CD |

Bedside gun and yes it adds tons of unbalanced weight to the rifle but it's so nostalgic and the Block 1 is like a fine wine gets better with age. Love a plane jane M4 B1 |

Then you'd have those Safety Sallys that would think you've got a mag in and try to rip you apart. ![]() Last trip I also had a M9, so I could drop the M4 when walking around the FOB and didn't really need it, though I still left it on. |
