Anyone have a lead on the Surefire barrel mounts for flashlights? Do they even make them anymore? While not BHD era, I have an ARMS 30mm carry handle mount on the way for my RO723 and am now looking for a light mount.

From roughly the same time period, this is Larry Vickers' personal clone of his Modelo Prison raid rifle.

Found some of my old pics that had been damaged in a house fire...
Here is "Wal-mart" at the Mogadishu airport circa feb-march '94 locals literally cut a hole in teh perimeter fence and built a hut on the outside and sold stuff those on the "inside" Picked up a nice No1MkIII bayo with scabbard for $10..  I have a few more and some minor heat damaged negatives...need to find someone who can digitalize them..maybe repair them. |

I'd like to apologize for misinformation.
Spoke to Larry Vickers today, who told me that the 2000 and 5000 were in use by Delta during Gothic Serpent. He said the 3000 was unpopular due to the knob being easily broken. 5000 became the standard once it was received. |

I just looked at mine again, it's a Mk. III, not a 3000. I don't think the Mk III was used much by SF but maybe one of the resident experts/btdtgats(been there done that got a t shirt) guys will advise further. The Mk III on an Ultralux makes my 727 very top heavy. Never handled one with the 3000/5000 on it. |

Wow, I wasn't sure how a mid length could've been made into a BHD build but you did it extremely well. Nice!
Also, for those of you building these, eBay has been a goldmine for period correct Aimpoints lately. Besides my own, there have been 4-5 others listed... so make that 8 Aimpoints available right now versus a few months ago when I couldn't find any! |

I have been watching this thread for a few years.
Re-read it many times. I enjoyed it, but I was not going to build one. Changed my mind. Ron 
Most of the lower parts are on the bench to be put together. I have all the other parts. 
I have 2 or 3 more BHD carbines to dig out the parts from storage to build them. I really didn't plan on doing this, but as I found some parts I just put them in storage for some day. I guess someday got here. Looks like I need to find some flash lights and mounts. I think I have some old scope mounts some where. need to find them. Scopes I will need to buy. RON |

The moderator indexed over the barrel, which ended right where the flash-hider part started so as to maintain as much muzzle velocity as possible. The barrel length ended up being something funky and the moderator was pinned for 16" OAL. Such a long time ago.  |

Great looking transitional carbine. Love the wear on the receiver extension and the peel washer. Nice touch. I built one very similar a few years ago with an AIMPOINT 1000 and C7 upper. I eventually tore it down to build my M4. Wishing I hadn't sold my Colt CMB A2 upper with M4 feed ramps last year to build a 727.
I found the pics of mine on page 13 of this thread half way down. In case you were interested. |

Desert Storm? I wonder why that fart can is so long? Maybe thet where experimenting to find out the point of diminishing return with suppressors. Also good find on those pictures.

I'm guessing he used the holes in the handguards somehow. Mr Vickers did a short write-up that showed up on Soldier Systems Daily that included some of this information. It's a pair of machine screws (and washers) through the handguard holes, held by square nuts on the outside. The hose clamps have hols cut in them to allow for the machine screw to pass through. Bicycle tubing keeps the vibration down and the fit tight against the handguard. That little bump you see on the side is a cobbled-together push switch installed locally and routed underneath the bicycle tubing. The flashlight is a scuba light that's been painted black, I don't know the model. |
