My current go to.  The lower was a police trade in 6940.  The upper was a brand new 6921 model with an ADCO spacer installed.  I rattle canned it for fun.

Army is to dead set on replacing the M4 with the NGSAR to bother upgrading the rail.

That's still dumb as shit... Every other country in the world has tried to emulate, improve or reverse engineer the M4 at one point, and none of them have made anything truly superior. Lot of other countries' SF use M4's, too, if that says anything.

But the grass is always greener, I guess...

Change is good.  It gets people in Class A’s promoted.  It may not be needed, useful, wanted or even benign, but it gets those Class A’s promoted.  Oh, and it’s a way to beef up the budget - or hose it, depending on your perspective.

Looks badass. I also spy the A1 conversion (burst crossed out and AUTO added) good to see more and more are getting converted. Took long enough

Yeah it’s went through the M4A1 conversion that’s why the upper is not painted.

I personally hope when CSA Milley leaves the next guy axes it and updates the M4A1. All the current stuff is a Milley thing.

Yeah, the M4’s battery case is different.  On reflection (i.e. better attention to the picture) those look just like M2s.  Which, by the way, the PRO does have a substantial resemblance to.

How bad does the RAS/RIS affect accuracy on the M4 platform? Building a few clones right now and have always used DD Omega Free floats in past?
View Quote
Trying to avoid any conflict and only stating personal opinion.  I agree.  I really like the Omega free float on 7' rail carbine builds. I know its not clone accurate, but it is just a wonderful little carbine rail when you need short, light and slim quad and want to retain the FSB and delta ring.   You get the look and function, but with what I consider to be a better rail choice.

Carry on.

These threads normally devolve into a shit show of why you need a free floated rail and how no one using a KAC RIS/RAS can hit a target past 50M.

Anyways my contribution. Only thing it's missing is the PEQ, cause I don't have one.

M4A1 circa current day. 9lbs 4oz loaded(SOCOM barrel).

M2, M3, and Pro all have the same housing, the differences are internal.  The M4 has a completely different body, uses its own proprietary mount, and uses AA batteries.

I'm currently issued an FN M4A1, Matech rear BUIS, TA31, PEQ-15, and an old-ass Surefire on an ARMS mount. I added a Magpul RSA and GGG sling. Currently filled with Mk262 cause I got a bunch of it from some of @Combat_Diver's buddies. Or maybe even @Combat_Diver himself for all I know

Thanks for that.  I’ve been trying to figure out “what the difference is” when looking at pictures of the different models.  Nobody’s ever pointed out what you just did, and for me it was anything but obvious.  I’ll bet it’s easier to see how identical the models are “in person”, but I haven’t had that luxury.

 The gap in years was spent at Benning yelling at shit ass privates. Think I worked more hours there than than being deployed.

VCAS slings are “the sling”, right?  So, padded or not?

What’s the common configuration for sling attachments?

They come out of the arms room wearing either the shitty cotton web sling or a Blue Force Gear sling. Most people use their personal sling though.
