Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver: No, SOPMOD is the upper. Lower is a standard M4A1 and originally came with one sided safety. You have to remember that the SOPMOD program started in mid 90s for the block 1s. Block 2s didn't come on board until the 10s and ambi safety originally not a requirement. CD I know you have probably already been asked or commented on this before.... But what are some of the most common grips you see on SOPMODS besides the a2? (I absolutely hate the hump) |

Dude you are like 2 steps ahead of me damn near every day!! (Nice scores lately, btw!) Your Ready Mag photo is just showing off tho.  FWIW, I am working on our MS foreman this a.m., we are in negotiation stages currently. Trading services is on the table. (Told him I'm open minded, but my pants stay up!) If I can get mill access, I'd be open to barter. |

As I'm sure some others here would agree with me I view the block 2 14.5 more as a handy DM or "recce" rifle than a carbine. The block 1 setup is just more simple and usually lighter. Not free floated. It just feels more like a 14.5 carbine to me. 10.3s on the other hand, I prefer the block 2 setup for all roles |

I really like my B2 but certainly love something about the B1 and 1.5. Gives me warm fuzzies and tingles. I don't really have any room to give you advice because I'm working on a B1 (early), B1, B1.5 PR, B1.5 variant 2,FSP, B2, Blackhawk down build or Colt 623 or 727, and CQBR (EOD), MK18 mod 0 and not even getting started on the MK12s.
