Alright, I'm stuck.
I found another Force Recon video that has a rifle that I could do as well. So, my main question: XPS 3.0 vs Comp M4? |

Took the MaTech off and put a Daniel Defense fixed rear on. Have those ever been seen fielded? I'm going to run an Aimpoint and move the ACOG to another rifle. I like folding rears on magnified optics but fixed with red dots. Either way, I think it will look slick when the Cadex gets here.

Alright, I've now got myself a decision to make.
I've picked up a number of handguards for really good deals, but I definitely can't keep them all. I currently have, unmounted: -KAC RAS w/ Ergo Extension -KAC RAS 2 -KAC MRE My game plan was to do the force recon clone, but I kind of made my bed by just buying an NIB Aimpoint Pro for a really good deal. So, I'm now thinking I'll end up in the GWOT thread, but I'm not sure which rail I should keep of the three. It will choose the direction I go. |

View Quote First of all, if MRE is an answer choice, that's the right answer. Second, get you an ARMS riser and slap that Aimpoint in there and you'll be a GWOT Lord. Keep the rest for force recon down the road. Edit: you said you can't keep them all. Offload the RAS w/ Ergo. Those aren't terribly hard to find if you ever change your mind. |
