I am starting my search for a suppressor and I was wondering if the Surefire SOCOM556-RC2 is acceptable or just the RC?

I can also name 3, tier 1 units that just replaced their 417s with DI KAC/Wilson Combat/LMT AR-10s. One of those 3, tier 1 units uses a DI AR-15...actually just got a new upgraded version as their general issue rifle. |

bought to snag a MK6 3-18 but can't decide on the reticle, used mostly MOA based reticles like the npr2 on my NF scopes but thinking of getting fancy and getting the tremor 3 or the h58/59 etc. cant really decide on moving up to those more busy reticles or sticking to the basics.

Update time.
After having a rather nasty time with someone on the EE ripping me off (there's a whole negative feedback thread about my attempts to replace my DD RIS II FSP with a non-FSP version), I've finally been able to get my Block II back into action. Here she is: I have a YouTube video explaining all the parts: Colt M4A1 SOPMOD Block II Clone AR15 Build - Complete? + Full Parts List |

Is an A1 lower ever seen on a block 2? I was going to switch my ugly ass painted A2 lower from my Mod H over to the block 2, but am feeling lazy since I only have an A1 sitting around currently...

Between moving, work and working on the new house, I finally got this clone complete minus a sling and Eotech EXPS3. Specs are as follows...
Colt complete LE6920 lower Colt LE6920 upper Colt SOCOM profile barrel Colt M16 BCG DD RIS II FSP FDE rail Colt F Marked front sight VLTOR EMOD Troy rear sight Surefire SF3P Raptor CH I stripped, media blasted and Cerakoted the upper, lower, receiver extension, castle nut, end plate and front sight post in Patriot Brown which I think looks perfect with this build. I was going to go with a FDE Eotech but looking at it now, I am gonna go with black. Now to the next build I need to finish, Noveske Infidel in Bazooka Green.... Attached File Attached File |
