That scope is a lot of overkill for a Block II. It's a match grade scope for a weapon that isn't. |

That scope is a lot of overkill for a Block II. It's a match grade scope for a weapon that isn't. I did have a NF 2.5-10 on mine. Sexy look. But overkill. A NF 1-4 (if kosher) would be good. Other wise an Elcan or reddot/3x is gonna rule the day. |

All they did is take the old school Block I ACOGs and put Docters or JPoints on to make them more "Modern". The ECOS is just Trijicon' s version.

A lot of the AR armorer wrenches have the right size built in. It's extremely simple. It might take a few times putting the new one on so that you get the correct timing with whatever shim combination that takes |

So I've been hemming and hawing over getting my 16 inch barrel chopped to 14.5, pinned and welded. I really want the proper 4 prong Surefire flash hider. I don't suppose anyone has one they would sell do they? I'd be willing to pay $150~175.00 depending condition, I don't care if its new or used as long as it doesn't look like it was skipped across the concrete!
Going to post in the EE too but I figure this would be the place to find one if I was going to! Shoot me a PM if you can help me out! |

Just FYI as a general flag-etequite post, a reverse flag can be worn appropriately by orienting it vertically, so the field of stars make up the top left quadrant. This is how the flag should always be viewed, regardless of spacial orientation.
The service uniforms use of "stars FORWARD" is really the exception to this rule, and represents the ideal that American forces charge toward threats to the American way of life... Flags carried into battle from the days of formation fighting would always be seen in this fashion because American's don't retreat! |

As a few of you know I've been looking into getting a pistol to go along with my Block II. I think the idea of a corresponding sidearm that would be seen on a soldier with a Block II rifle would be kinda cool. My LGS just got in a Colt M45, $1799... My tax return just came in, too. And let's just say, if you are a full time student and buy a house in the same tax year, you end up getting all of your taxes refunded plus $1000. I might have a new accessory to go with my rifles this weekend

I think the idea of a corresponding sidearm that would be seen on a soldier with a Block II rifle would be kinda cool. My LGS just got in a Colt M45, $1799... My tax return just came in, too. And let's just say, if you are a full time student and buy a house in the same tax year, you end up getting all of your taxes refunded plus $1000. I might have a new accessory to go with my rifles this weekend That seems like a good price for the Colt M45. MARSOC also uses alot of Gen 3 Glock 19s. JSOC uses Glock 22s, Glock 19 mostly Gen 3s and modified 1911A1s. I think that the Colt M45 would be a nice weapon and would retain its value. I am partial to the 1911A1.If I wasn't an old Army guy I would pick up a M 45 Colt . Cheers

I kinda modeled it after the Marine's ICQBP. It's a TLE/RL II, Kimber doesn't actually make the pistol used as the ICQBP as a regular model. Closest you could probably get would be a black Warrior slide on a TLE frame. But those are the correct grips

Speaking of weapons companions, my FDE SCAR 17 should be arriving at my FFL later today - should look good with the Block II and Block II CQBR.
