Do I go for the shorty?

Or the DMR?

Pardon my ignorance, but what can you get away with in NY?

I prefer the shorties, but I'm only 5'03" tall...

that's why the DMR has always tempted me.



















heck of a cheekweld, huh?  they have an SEI carry handle mount and on top of that an acog on a arms mount.

they did this to make the DMR's NV compatible:

Looks like a Raptor 4x Gen3 NVG scope....good stuff!

Notice in several of the pics the rear sight is up on the 800m setting?

they've got a few of the raptors, IIRC.

heavy NV use there, like us.

good catch on that sight setting.

guess if the DMR's sight goes down, he wants to be ready to shoot pretty darned far...

but given that massive cheekpiece, it is puzzling.

ETA

wait........  ohhhhhh I get it now.

they raise the rear sight as high as they can to use (probably just barely) the sights with the cheek rest on!!!!

that's gotta be it, no?

still not comfy, but smarter than keeping it down.

Well I am going to have to vote for the shorty. I like your collection of DMR pics but as this is the Retro forum, and all those are A2s, I would have to vote 653.


-that is my current build.

that's another problem.  

tankers and space shuttle door gunners aside, the standard shorty now is a M4 with a meprolight/MARS and an arms40.

not too unique, you know?

and if I go to the previous shorty, do I get the falcon?

I'd say go for the DMR.  I built a Mekut'zrar replica, but tired of it quickly:

You needed a light weight profile barrel...

lets take a ride on the DMR then.

DO I have to replicate the exact optics setup or can I get away with a straight carryhandle mount?

I think I'd have to replicate exactly, no?

That stock attachment looks like the old Colt Delta stock setup.

The base of the scope mount looks like the Delta's too, but I think that it is an
