Even has the US marking on it, which would look good with my Colt 1911 (not A1) circa 1917 that went ashore at Okinawa with a good old timer friend of my dad's who passed away a few years ago. USMC old and original and USMC new.

Revolvers don't have safeties either. Very fast to get into action. The SIG decocker threw me at first too, but the more I carried it, the more I liked it. Safer way to carry than cocked and locked 1911 IMO. Faster too. If you need that first shot in a hurry you won't even notice that it's not SA. The SA pull on my SIG was pretty sweet. You can get different triggers and springs to cure one that isn't. Pretty easy fix. Absolutely no similarity to a mag disconnect, which are abominations. The decocker is an IMPROVEMENT over the 1911 IMO. (And I love me my 1911s! )

1) Was/is the M4 RIS II FSP (black) ever used "in the wild?"
2) I bought this rail for a ridiculously low price - which makes me ask "is it legit?" Any opinions? It came not in a DD box, but in a mil-type preservative foil bag, dated 2007 from a packaging vendor in Columbus, GA. 3) Could this be used on any SOPMOD-type clones? 
Note: this one is BLACK, not FDE. It appears kinda tan in the photos above, but it's actually black. (I'm also gonna ask in the DD industry forum...) |

I'd be suspect if it came from Columbus, GA. Unless it came from a reputable vendor there's a good chance that it's stolen .mil property. |

But - the Columbus, GA connection comes from the foil packaging that the rail was apparently packaged into either after manufacturing or at some point simply for preservative purposes. It doesn't necessarily mean it was from the armory at Benning. |

Any opinions? It came not in a DD box, but in a mil-type preservative foil bag, dated 2007 from a packaging vendor in Columbus, GA. Not 100% sure if it's legit, but from the pics you provided it looks good to me. Slightly suspicious of SGP as mentioned. 3) Could this be used on any SOPMOD-type clones? Yes. <Snip> |

I'm a fan of the 2.5-10, I've got a SU-230 and think the NF fits better on the Block II. All depends on the purpose you want it to serve I suppose..... 
I've even got a very special spare if you're interested
