The 2MOA Aimpoint T1 with LT660 mount from LaRue was just over $300 more than that...and I'm at least gonna be using the Aimpoint. |

Think I'm just going to put my 300m on my 1.5 since I don't need a front and just run my II iron less with my t1 until income tax. |

Same with the BUIS - I might pick up a couple KAC fronts in black, as I plan on painting one of my CQBR uppers when I get back, and also possibly an M4A1 upper. Who knows, lots of time to scheme future projects these days.

I'm debating on painting mine to match my rifle or just taking it off completely. pfft, I just got mine PRE-scratched... for $150 each...
So for my iron sights I have: KAC 300 rear/ Taupe KAC front combo for $210 KAC 600 rear/Taupe KAC front combo for $275 I could put a matech on there but I will leave the matechs for the block 1 and SMDR (and the other one in the spare parts box), I want to actually be able to use the BUIS without wearing them down in the process.

Some updated photos.
We were recently back on the subject of weapon-lights so I'll submit my very satisfied vote for the M600c with a Gear Sector offset mount and a clicky tail-cap.  Swapped out the Daniel Defense QD socket mount for the IWC offset mount and love it. Big thanks to whomever posted the link to this thing.  I also touched up my paint job using sponges to give it a stippled effect.  And I ditched all my control accessories in favor of a KAC panel on the bottom. We'll see how it goes at the range whenever I get time to play.  |

I thought it was nice to see people who knew how to reload. It wasn't until the second half of the movie that we saw the Block II accessories. I think I read that it took a couple years to film because of the "actors" deployment schedules, so they may have had some equipment changes in that time frame. |

Well guys, if everything goes as planned my Block II will be completed by next week. Going to buy an upper off another member from this thread (JohnHatcher) and my light should be in next week. KAC taupe front sight arrives today. Needless to say, I'm stoked.

I saw $13 for that and figured everything else was more so I didn't bother looking at other shipping options. Ridiculous shipping prices from them, we know damn well it doesn't cost $13 to ship that little bugger. I just ordered a case of PMC from SG Ammo last weekend and it cost $16 to ship, so how does it cost $13 to ship a little 2 oz sight? |

I'd like to go on the record and say it was a fantastic movie. A Navy SEAL ain't gonna win an Oscar. |

Acting aside, the movie was fine..they used some rubber ducks in the water scenes. And a couple of the m4a1s had the muzzle device on the barrel with no peel or crush washer...just exposed threads between the barrel shoulder and hider..just saying
