Was going through some old pics and saw these and thought i'd post them up again for the retro guys. All had M4 barrels and CAR stocks except for one that had an M4 stock and tube.








And one modern for fun.

Thanks for posting, do any of those have the old 6 hole carbine hand guards?

Nice pics!  Where are those stationed?  Love the A2 upper and a flat slip ring. Parts is parts!

Those are all from Bullis, as for the HG's I remember one having standard oval M$ guards and the rest were smaller CAR guards. As for the number of holes I couldn't say for sure.

Thanks, that answers my question.  I can't see hand guards in all the photos and I was curious how many used the old "skinny" carbine hand guards.  Do you remember what kind of flash hiders were used?  How many birdcage / A2 style?  I see black silent slings, are field expedient slings allowed?

All had standard M4 BBL's and A2 FH's. Also forgot to get pics of the other side but nearly all but 1 or 2 were slcik uppers. As for slings they went through a couple of variations that I saw. They also tried some G&G single point adapters which sucked.
