I don't think a 20 round mag would be my first choice if that's the case. Most likely it is. 1911 mags on the PC (the majority of USMC SOF use the 1911 as their primary sidearm), IUID tag on the M4 lower, as well as terrain lead me to believe that was most likely taken while still on AD. 20's really aren't that bad. They're really great for being inside vehicles and they make the rifle a little lighter when trekking for miles on end when you're not expecting imminent contact with the enemy. Having a bunch of buddies with guns that include belt-feds also overcomes the majority of the issues with you being the "first to reload" as well. |

That's not Haley. Or a Marine for that matter. The 1911 is a little peculiar though.

His patch is the Oregon national guard (41st IBCT). Those are issue airtronic/checkmate beretta mags in his D3 chest rig, not 1911 mags, and given the kit, issue rifle, and terrain, looks like RC-South to me... I believe it was his Facebook page because a solider was showing off his D3 chest rig while deployed... Good advertising.

I don't see how anyone could think that is a Marine and that he has M1911. |

It's always good to get a reminder to remain silent unless you're absolutely positive about what you're saying. My experience with the USMC is pretty much non-existent so I shouldn't have commented. Thank you for pointing out my errors. 
I still stand by my comment about the 20 round mags though.

Since prices on quality gear is basically at rock bottom right now I took advantage of it. Picked up this new LMT M4 upper, LMT M16 BCG, CH and Larue 7.0" rail for $550 shipped on TOS (though I swapped for a BCM Mod 4 CH, I'll keep the LMT in the spares box). Got a decent deal on the Daniel Defense sight. I slapped it on my spare lower which is an RRA with Daniel Defense LPK, BCM receiver extension, H2 buffer and IWC end plate. Threw on a spare M4 stock and Knights broom stick. All in it was sub $1000. I dig it.

My quasi deployment carbine clone. My real one was a M4A1 fielded by NSW so as far as function this one is getting there, as far as brand of parts not even close. Left to get are TANGODOWN Mk46 vertical grip, sure fire M600C Scout, COLT side sling swivel, AIMPOINT PRO or COMP M3 (the one mounted was borrowed from my SBR), SOPMOD stock. Already have a BUIS so not spending the money on a KAC 300 meter or a KAC RAS since I have my $32 TROY special drop in. |

Yes, that is Afghanistan.That is also correct that it is the 41st IBCT patch and that is actually RC capital. Its a training facility and range for ANA I've been to about a dozen times now and got to blow some stuff up. Can't really say too much without command getting upset as we are still over here... even though that guy put a picture on the internet. Nothing OPSEC about it but they get upset easily. The 20 round mag is probably because we are mostly in mraps the whole time and the guy probably thinks its easier to stow. I don't have a problem with 30 rounders and even kept 40 round magpul mags on my kit for a while. No one has 1911s here where I am at. Even the few marines I have run into have m9s. |

I can't imagine what it would feel like to go that long without showering. I have gone for a week or so, but I swear it adds to an overall feeling of irritation and being ornary that must be kind of hard to dodge the longer you go on. Thank you for doing what you did. |

It became my favorite food. When I came home my mother fixed me what she called "real" corned beef hash. I was like WTF is this? The closest thing I've found is canned corned beef hash and my mother calls it "dog food", lol. Brings back memmories.........

Built this rifle out of spare parts and a lower + LPK I had gotten as a gift. Then traded a spare 20" HBAR barrel for a lightly used 14.5" P/W.
Got a M4 RAS on the way, and I'm thinking a TA01NSN is in the far future. Won't be until after I get night vision, though. I will be replacing the cheap sling with a Blufor NSN sling. Just needed something until then.
