Well after lurking for the better part of two years I figure it is time. This is my first AR and I tried to stay as close to "spec" as possible. Thanks for all the inspiration guys. Now I need to stay out of the mk18 and mk12 threads...
(Sorry for crappy potato pic...) 
Another crappy pic. Prior to switching out the 553 for the EXPS and magnifier combo 
Lower: - Colt "M4A1" marked lower - Geissele SSA - Gen. 1 FDE LMT SOPMOD stock - CQD sling plate Upper: - DD RIS II (Duh) - Colt upper W/ all Colt parts (teardrop FA, ejection port cover, ETC) - 14.5 SOCOM barrel - SF3P (Pinned) - PRI Gas Buster FDE (Birthday present from wife, she thought "I would want the one that matches everything else." She means well) - CQD sling mount - KAC taupe front sight - KAC 2-600m micro Optics: - Eotech EXPS 3 - Eotech G33 magnifier Other: -Surefire 952v on HSP Thorntail mount - Magpul AFG 2 |

Found a moment to do some plinking.
Realized I'd forgotten to bring something to wrap the suppressor with before putting it back up. Found an old oven mitt in the trunk and turned it inside out. 
Giving the CTR yet another try...

Augee, first off, I love those rifles. May I ask what is on top of the Eotech on your MK18? That prototype 300m rear sight is pretty neat too. Unfortunately I just missed one go on eBay for $40 because the owner thought it was "broken".

Building a clone rifle makes me feel like some sort of crack head always chasing the next high... It's also expensive, wrecks relationships, and leaves me feeling me feeling guilty and used. That said, it's fun as shit and love these rifles! I can't wait to get out and use my SU-230. Augee you're rifles are great looking. Keep the pics coming guys. |

The "device" mounted on top of the EOTech on the CQBR is nothing more than a Suunto M9 wrist compass - I just hate having stuff on my wrists, and wear the smallest, lightest watch possible as is, a Garmin and a wrist compass would be hellish.
I wouldn't use it on the rifle due to all the metal and the possibility interference, but with Velcro backing, I can keep it accessible and handy without digging it out of pockets/pouches, and I can stick to any loop surface available, including, but not limited to the big swath of Velcro on my admin pouch, a shoulder pocket. ~Augee |

Some sopmod Block 2 setup and a shorty upper going full auto. 2014-JAN-18. Afghanistan. Notice the regular PEQ-15 instead of a LA-5/PEQ.
EDIT: to answer the post below - LA-5 has raised illuminator adjustment knobs and the screw holes are on top as opposed to being on the right side. The newer version of LA-5 also has a "profiled" battery cap. I have both, so I know. Thanks to Mb121 for pointing out it is a shorty upper as opposed to a block 2.   U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Richard W. Jones Jr. Anyone who is interested in a brand new FDE Elcan SpecterDR 1-4x 5.56 (civilian version), feel free to contact me. Price is very hard to beat. No, I am not trying to make a profit, just trying to return a favor. |

The raised elevation and windage turrets are the only things I'd trust to differentiate between the two. Also I found that the laser emission ports on the LA-5 are covered with a single piece of glass over the two individual emission ports while the PEQ-15 has each individual ports exposed. Take this difference with a grain of salt, the LA-5 I looked at dated back to 2009 so there could have been revisions. |

The next most obvious indication that's easily visible in that particular photograph in particular is the "sockets" for the training limiter screws which are mounted on the side of the AN/PEQ-15 and on the top on an LA-5. You ought to post that in the CQBR thread and watch the skies go dark as the Beta C-Mag gets added to "the list."

My understanding was that they considered all of the ATPIALs by L3/Insight/EOTech of which there are multiple variants - and that the AN/PEQ-15 and LA-5/PEQ "family" were all variants of the ATPIAL. AN/PEQ-15, LA-5, LA-5A, LA-5D, and LA-5E should all be specific designations for specific variants with specific "MIL-SPEC" features? ~Augee |

I was just discussing this concept yesterday, the Mk12 no longer being supported, weapons worn out after decade of fighting. How would a forward-thinking small unit commander fill the need within his unit? COTS match barrels 14.5 to 16" long mounted on M4A1 Block IIs, use the NSN parts that don't cost anything, put good glass on top, use the SOCOM can instead of the OpsInc..... Presto! Mk12 Mod2 Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stoner63a:

Is the shock hardened version for the SCAR? I remember hearing something about LA-5's failing on SCARs. |

This seems to be the case, as I have seen them referred to as "CAR Hardened." The LA-5D and LA-5E are supposed to be Phased Replacements for the LA-5 and LA-5A respectively. The SU-231A is also a shock hardened phased replacement for the SU-231. ~Augee |
