Anyone know somebody who makes the gangster grip mounts for the surefire 6p flashlights. I would like to pick one up for a replica of carbine I used. Can't seem to find my old one.

A former Badger Ord employee had the rings made off an original example, but it's not looking like another run will be happening anytime. Still had to chop a mount and grip for it too. I can ask around and see, I might know a place that would run some more. I don't think I'd mind having mine taken apart to do it if it's helping someone who actually had one back in the day.

Speaking of TA-31s, how is the ACOG donut reticle for anyone who's used it? Seems like a similar concept to the AUG reticle.
The low power ACOGs don't seem to get as much love either. Is it a cost thing compared to an Aimpoint, or just that it's neither fish nor fowl? |

This rifle was inspired by the early GWOT SFOD assaulters carbine that used the KAC MRE, this is my take on an old concept. Colt OEM-1 Barrel cut to 14.5, reprofiled to the proper contour, cerakote Sig Grey to try and match a Park’d finish, Gas Port unchanged. PRI Reproduction wheeled FSB, crossbolt version. Surefire Warcomp pinned. Daniel Defense M4 FSP 12.0, expertly refinished in an older shade of DD FDE by @ankratz, thanks man. B5 FDE Gripstop. YHM .5” riser rail. EOTECH XPS-2 FDE. KAC 2-600. Brownells Retro Full Chrome M-16 BCG. PRI Gas Buster. Colt Ambi Safety. ALG ACT Trigger. LMT SOPMOD, LMT 6 Position Extension. SpringCo Blue with an H2. Still need a sling and light but it’s pretty much done. Definitely hit up ankratz for your FDE cerokote needs, this thing is awesome, pictures don’t always tell the tale. |

The Sig Grey is pretty nice, it’s matches a very dark parkerized shade of grey.
Supposedly Sig was looking to match that shade of grey when they had this color created, it is very nice and was exactly what I wanted. Thanks again for your work coating this rail. |
