I guess I'll go else where. Did I say to leave? Have you been kicked out? All I said is to read more, post less. Again, what is your experience in that you can judge what others are doing? SpaceRanger.... the reason that guy is holding the magwell is all the shit on the rail. When you are running lights/lasers on that small 7" carbine rail, it can be kind of a bitch gripping the rifle up there so you end up either reverting to a magwell grip or VG w/ the "beer can" style grip. That pic seems a bit posed obviously but it isn't uncommon to see grips like in more serious situations. |

I a few friends that are "trained" members of the military and the way they use a rifle will make you  . I don't think basic training really does the job when it comes to making proficient shooters.

(worked with a few combat camera guys on afg trip #2. good dudes.) For sure there are some good dudes, but as a photojournalist myself, the only thing "special" about them is having the word combat in their job title. Public Affairs photojournalists do much the same thing, to include combat photography, but the two fall under different orgs, ie VI vs IO. Sorry for the thread hijack, combat cam just always evokes a chuckle. Knowing a couple of them myself, I can assure you they spend as much time with their hair as SEALs.

Horseshit.....we had seals on our camp too, and they hogged the shower cadillac for DAYS.
Thanks for the love on the build so far folks; the rail is actually cerakoted cause it was originally black. Got it off the EE for a very happy price, and since I had every intention of painting my rifle anyway, I really didn't care if it was the "proper" FDE from the manufacturer. However, i'm starting to think maybe I shouldn't paint it.

I bought a second set of CQD mounts, HK hooks, and a VTAC for my friend for Christmas; however, I was extremely tempted to keep 'me for myself. It paid off, because he gave me the money to get a Govnah to tame the DD barrel (only non-clone piece). |

ETA- looks like they're 25V's for Army. Definitely not even close to 11 series but probably better warfighters than most POG MOS's
ETA some more- looks like 4600 for Marines comcam. |

I don't know everything and I've been out for over a decade, but there isn't anything that high speed about these guys. And since it started a mini shit storm, I would like to add that the magwell, while not unheard of, is the least effective grip. I'm sure they were just posing with whatever they thought looked cool. We've all done it. My best friend still poses with a one handed carbine in the air like it's the 80's. And before everyone attacks me too, i wasn't a super stealth ninja assassin; however, I had an elite job in the USAF (I know that doesn't mean much in these threads) and I spent a few years on and off assigned to the JSOTF during OSW before I got hurt. |

The one handed muzzle up carbine pose will never die. I do it all the time at my range just to scare people. Kidding on the scare people part, but it is a habit I have to catch myself doing because it actually does scare people around here for some reason. Even though the muzzle is in a safe direction, weapon cleared and safe and finger off the trigger. Some fat guy wearing a navy hat got all butthurt over it so I told him to fuck himself since he was cross firing through my line of fire anyways. (He was on my right, his target was to my left) that range is a joke but it is cool not having a range master. |

Me too bro. I'd rather make my own range with a couple buddys, the general shooters around here let their 5 year olds run around with 44 magnums, always got somethin to cry about or are firing 458 SOCOM's at the 10 yard pistol targets. Im definitrly the type of dude that either needs his own range or one owned by my buddys |

getting closer.......swapped out the DD upper receiver for a Colt, and got the Socom mounted. I machined an adjustable gas block, similer to a Govnah, with .048 and .070 ports. Tried it out Christmas day and the H2 buffer is too heavy. Swapped it out for an H and need to try it again.

For range trips I dont bring enough gear to need one but for the longer trips like you're getting ready for, I should probably pick one up. Do you remember how much the 1600 was? |

Christmas day I was shooting Federal .223 bulk, not 5.56, with the H2 buffer I have plenty of 193, but did not have it with me that day. With the Socom Rc on, it would not lock open on the last round with the port set on .048. I was also having some trouble with the KAC 2 stage trigger, so I did not do a whole lot of shooting with the CQBR. Weather permitting, I will have it out tommorrow or Tuesday. I will take both .223 and 5.56 and test with and without the suppressor, on both port settings. I'll report back with the results. |

I'm installing a Govnah this week and will try it out this weekend. Based on your results, I think I'll bring an "H" buffer just in case. I'll be watching for your results. Something that have to take into consideration is how the Govnah is machined and how I had to do mine. I am sure that they wire EDM the slide/slide pocket on theirs. They would be able to hold whatever tolerance they want via EDM. The wire machine I have access to is down for the time being, so I had to make do with more conventional machining. My slide is no doubt looser than the Govnah's, which is going to bleed some gas. In their literature they make referance to the slide "fit" being such that carbon will not cause problems........I'm not sure what they mean by that......could be a very close/tight fit, or could be somewhat loose. If I'm bleeding an inordinate amount of gas I'll need a lighter buffer than if it were not bleeding. So, take that into consideration. I haven't loosened up/taken apart, the rail to see how much gas might have been leaking, but shining a light through the holes in the rail it looks like a minimal amount of leakage.......but I don't know how much a Govnah might bleed. |

Im sure there's somebody in here that owns a surefire helmet light, I have an MSA ACH (no rails) and I'm gonna pick up a surefire for it. Is there any way to mount it besides drilling a hole through the kevlar? I'd rather not do that if theres another way. Also, i'm pretty sure it would be covering up one of my IR squares on my USGI multicam cover. should I un-stitch the sqare and move it or? Any suggestions much appreciated

The surefire helmet light has a bracket that clamps to the ear flap, or edge of the helmet. Then the light slides into that, there is no need to drill anything on the helmet.

Don't know what it's called or who makes it but we got them when we went to Afgayistan. Just thought I'd throw that out there since I broke two of the fuckers with the standard mount. |
