I wish there were more options out there like it. I've thought about chopping a LaRue rail to give it "ears" alongside the FSB like the MRE. |

Did you ever contact braceman about the possibility of getting an "A" filler tube? Before you pin, the fixed stock MRE "recce" might be an option with a TS-30 variant - plus, it would be a 16" barrel, or, if you stick with the 14.5" barrel, a "MSG Horrigan" type might be an interesting direction to go. ~Augee |

I can't decide on a TA11 ACOG or a variable optic for my 16" RECCE build. Any thoughts?

"A" fillers. Enlighten me.

I had one about 10 years ago, really liked it, and it'll continue to hold it's value, the mk4s are plentiful and will depreciate at a much faster pace. You could easily buy a used short dot, use it for 2 or 3 years and sell it for that same price as you bought it. |

It's similar in size and shape to the short dot, for quite a bit less. Decent glass, I like the reticle for recce purposes, and the used prices ain't too bad. |

View Quote Both the accuracy and range performance (or at least, performance potential) of M4 variants was, IMHO, far underestimated when the "recce" was originally developed - as the whole "class" of rifles has holistically become, I think that it's become more apparent that most high quality rifles are sufficient to the task "off the rack," rather than needing to be a Lilja SS barreled, 16" "custom" gun. ~Augee |
