<Bump> I'm curious, too. It would be a VERY motivational poster to have on the wall.

There will no doubt be a new poster out by the 2006 shot show, with various changes/upgrades. I can't help but wonder if there will be three different hand guards used, since they awarded KAC, A.R.M.S., and Danial Defense, each a contract for $16,666.666 each for railed forends. Crane also gave out awards to different optic makers and new mounts required to have throw levers. I'm told that there will also be a new folding rear iron sight down select, but that contract hasn't been awarded yet.

I seriously doubt you will be able to find one of those poster.....posters like that are usually printed up and distrubuted by a contractor or potential contactor to "highlight" their prouct, like at a AUSA arms show, or given to units or commands that will be using their product, which are usually looked at and thrown away, or could be put up for a couple months on a wall and then thrown away. they aren't distubuted or sold to the general public. I have a poster and handouts that General Dynamics sent to our unit, when they were awarded a contract for the Sgt. York gun .....of course that weapon system was scraped.
if you want one, you might be able to print out the one of the web, like this one, and take it somewhere to have it enlarged..........

I've got a brand new one still rolled up back in my gun room. I'll get around to hanging it up sometime. It came from the local Army surplus store for $5. We're just minutes from Crane, so that's probably why it was easily available for me.
I hear that there are currently three versions of it out (Block 1, Block 2, and Block 3) showing the newer upgrades, but I've never seen the others. The one pictured above is the first version, which is Block 1. You might try contacting someone at NSWC Crane, as I've also heard the rumor that they give them away to civilians for free. |

In the kAC SOPMOD poster it's marked 'ECOS-N'. In the orginal SOPMOD kit it was not used - the Reflex was the optic selected. If you are reffering to the Block II poster (marked: MDNS) then you are correct it isn't there (but the EOTech is).
Which poster are you reffering to? The only one with the SIR is the Block II poster and the SIR was one of the 3 railed systems that were selected (and all 3 are shown). |

Interesting to see how quick the Elcan Specter DR got in as a SOPMOD approved sight.
Must have gotten under the arfcom radar net until it was 'in the wire' |

Damn, I bet that ACOG has a huge dark blob in its FOV (bottom half). |

Neither of these photos "vindicate" the set-up   They came from -----> This site. (Insert Asian joke ________here_____) In fairness, I believe photographer was assembling various configs. and wasn't an end- user. IMO It is shown elsewhere with the Aimpoint, and that does work. Good catch though |

When I mount my PEQ-2 on top in-line with the ACOG, it doesn't obscure the FOV too bad. |

FWIW: The light looks like the old VLI. I haven't seen a pic of the new VBL III, but I suspect that what is shown is not it.

Since I am a big eotech fan (although I own an M2) it was more of a jab at the aimpoint fans than anything.......just a joke. I had already heard EOTECH 553 was getting the SOCOM contract. As for the SIR that is the first I had heard it had won any contract for SOPMOD or anything else for that matter. Anyone know why it was selected? Does there really need to be three different rail systems? |

I guess since I only live 10 minutes from Crane, I'll have to take the initiative to find out how we can get the posters. I have a large wall poster of the original SOPMOD configuration, but that it the only version of the various posters that I own. |
