The fire button was a rectangle that was just some silicone with a nub in the middle. I did see one similar but the pic looks black, could just be the lighting. All of the others have a round, raised button with a protective ring around them. I don't remember who made mine but I want to say it was L3, but this was also 12 years ago when I got it and had been in the unit before me so who knows how old it was. |

I've seen a lot of coyote tan stocks in this picture thread, but would the more correct issued stock be the black Sopmod Gen 1, or would tan be just as appropriate? I'm not 100% clear on that because searching for images of Block II guns seems to show a little of everything.
ETA, after searching more, it looks like some folks are using the B5 Gen 1 stock as being correct. I guess it would be something different than black. |

I hardly do anything but browse around here, and I'm not sure if this is really the place for it, but I have a BNIB RIS II FSP FDE, still wrapped up in the plastic. I started leaning more towards a non-FSP build recently, so I was wondering if any cloners that went the other way with a similarly new non-FSP rail would want to trade? I'm not opposed to selling on the EE or GAFS, but this place has been so helpful in finding information I felt it best to ask here first.
EDIT: Just exchanged it with DD, disregard. |

For those running Elcans with the FSP block II, does the front sight bother you especially on 1x? I'm debating to build a non-FSP vs FSP block II.
I know the correct answer is to get both but I can only do one right now. |

I'm not a hunter and I really don't have a place to shoot at in the dark. if I still lived in CO where I spent a lot of time wandering around the mountains, I'd be more likely to get into it.

If we were going to be on the road and dusk is approaching, we were required to have them mounted. There's already a limited amount of headroom in these damn vehicles and that made it worse. And I hated how screwed up my vision would be after having only 1 eye under NODs. The old PVS-7s reaaalllllly sucked balls with their shitty mounting solutions. |

Can y'all dump some pictures of Block IIs (clones or issued rifles) using Aimpoint T1s/T2s as their primary optic? From what I understand, some in the 75th Ranger Regiment have adopted this setup since the EOTech fiasco, but I don't see too many builds or "in the wild" pics out there.

With the cqd endplate and rail mount, does the sling hook to the same side on both front and rear (right side of rail for front, and right side of endplate—im lefty). Or do you criss cross it (front right, left rear)? Always ran just a qd endplate with swivels where it’s in the middle. Since switching to cqd and hk hooks, having a little bit of trouble getting a good fit.

Nice, thanks for posting some. I don’t know why, I really like the silhouette of the T2 on a non-FSP Block II, and it is good to see some actual units making use of the same build. I will be building mine accordingly, though I will probably end up throwing the T2 onto another gun once I get an Elcan Specter in my life.

I had this same issue where the bottom sides (where it flares down) of the PRI charging handle was digging into the lower receiver (the top of the buffer tube area of the lower). I guess it depends on how the upper and lower fit. I took it off and went back to milspec charging handle. |
