Feel free to write a quick description on the specs of your build, as well as the ammo you have loaded up. I'll start with mine: Upper: LMT 10.5 F1 .30 6" Ti suppressor Geissele Mk2 rail Surefire Mini Scout Aimpoint T1/LT660 PA 3x magnifier (doesn't always stay on there) KAC VFG MBUS Lower: LMT Defender 2000 SBR Geissele SSA-E Because of cost, I have 62gr MSR Fusion in my mag http://i.imgur.com/t8UZAL2.jpg This was a trunk gun I had for a while. It was a KAC SR-15 E3 Mod 0 upper, Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4x20, and Anderson lower. http://i.imgur.com/388Hsgn.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dqKwJst.jpg View Quote Question: Im assuming those are ear plugs you leave in your rifles stocks. Great idea btw! But my questions: Are those just disposables? Do those still effectively conform to your ears after being lodged in the buttstock? I keep electronic ear pro in several locations in the house and I keep a few of these in the center console of my F150. I really like those but I am a firm believer in 2 is 1 and 1 is none so I wouldn't mind throwing a pair of disposables on my rifle IF that is a good way to go. |

That's one hell of a guess.

Yep, they're just disposable foam ear plugs. They do still form correctly in my ear if I use them, but I wouldn't put them in for an HD event. That's what the suppressor is for--so I don't have to fumble around with ears. They're more for going to the range with a friend that forgets ear pro, which happens pretty often. I also keep Surefire plugs in my car which is what I always use, plus some big non-electric muffs in my trunk. I keep Impact Sports and more foamies in my range bag but those are also for friends that forget their ears. |

I've heard some units are more lenient than others but most are gonna be super anal about you only using issued gear. For example We were told we couldn't bring pmags before I deployed and I wasn't even in a line unit. |

A little complicated but I'm not 100% guarenteed to be the only one using the gun. Since it is a pool weapon I only invest money on things that I view as affecting my potential safety.

Not trying to be shitty just curious 4x ACOG directly to the receiver works well. With a compact ACOG like he has the front sight base becomes very visible through the scope. It's really annoying. He'd need to modify the FSB to make it work well. Also when it is on the carry handle it is only about a half-inch higher than an Aimpoint set up for lower third cowitness. |
