I agree on the 117F; It was the only "dual antenna" radio is SF use at the time... At the same time odd, as they were few and far between.. PSC5s were the main SATCOM radio at the time.

That makes sense regarding the RAS.  The AN/PRC 117F is a good piece of kit.  Mostly used the the AN/VRC 103.

That 117 is not Army it is AF.  I agree.  I never found many Army Comm guys that could program a 117.

Depended on the unit in my experience.

117F was normally something "Tier 1" elements or units that were treated like them equipment wise used. Ranger Rgt, SF CIF companies, etc...

I also used them in a Corp LRS.

I'm thinking this is what my MRE Recce needs, any clues what to search for? Been trying Japanese Ultradot Microdot 1.5-4, not getting any hits. I mean I could just use a modern Weaver but I'd love to get an original instead if I can. I was thinking of snagging a used KAC riser eventually and some rings to mount it, but I'm not sure which rings would be the most appropriate for that time.

So far I have a C AF upper, a set-screw reproduction PRI OG Wheel FSB (someday will go on a beater early SPR build), vault release MRE, optional Gangster Grip with light, and I'll use my LMT D 2000 lower with old school Redi-Mag and Gen 1 LMT SOPMOD.

Really what I need now are the barrel and a BCG, maybe a used Colt charging handle that I can throw a PRI or Badger latch onto. I have an Allen Eng. A2 flash hider for the AEM5, just need to get the barrel and then get it set up for the M4-AEM5 style collar.

JSOC, Task Force Orange/Grayfox and some other governmental organizations were using it.  We had civilians from Harris delivery them and taught everyone how to use them before going down range.

My M4 and 117F in 2005.  We received our 117's in 02. We were some of the first classes to be taught on the 117 in 02.  One 117 sure beat carrying around a SINCGARS and a 113UHF and saved about 11 lbs.

Honestly brother, we got lucky to find the one I got. We talked about it in the other thread and bam, one came up to sale. Got an armalite tube at the same time which is at the gunsmith getting ready to be turned into an OG Holland.

ETA: I think your parts list and vision are going to make one of the best MRE’s we’ve seen to date

I finally have 90% of the parts to do a crusty AF block 1 build and zero damn time to build it.

3 hours spent tonight putting together a loft bed for my daughter with zero instructions.  Nothing like an enormous bag of hardware and trial and error.  The only picture I had was remembering what the bastard looked like in the furniture store.

Its appears the rail itself is bent. At the first set of "relief cuts"

I heard the MRE was a PITA to install, and probably should have grabbed a barrel vice, but when I hammered the pins in I never rested any blocks on the rail, the barrel and upper were supported and I had blocks to try and hold the top and bottom of the FSB.

I will contact KAC and ask if there's any way to verify if this is due to installation or if maybe I ended up with a crooked one somehow. This build has fought me at every turn, and I'm thinking now it's just a sign that it isn't meant to be.

Looks like He's got an ASIP (119E) in there too...Crazy to think 4-5 years later that whole package would be squished into a PRC-152 that weighs 1/10th as much.....Fuck carrying those heavy old radios

I'm good now, barrel was still crooked from wiggle room between the extension pin and the receiver notch. Reinstalled it and she's straight now. Pics to follow when I can take something better than my cell phone in my dark computer corner.

I really liked the 152 when I was in Afg. Was nice not having to have a separate radio for dismount, just pull it out of the mount and attach your antenna.

We traded our 119's for 152's about halfway through our tour in '06 (Iraq) - great radios.  Very noticeable increase in range compared to the 119's.  We had MBITR's (PRC-148) for dismount but some of the spare 152's got used too.....I was the only idiot to admit that I knew the mysterious ways of the ANCD so I got to be the commo guy for our platoon.....definitely beat the shit out of humping 2 ASIP's and an ICOM back the day.

I was just goofing around with the CMore, it's broken but it has that hella 2003 vibe going on.

I have a 552, Comp M2, or my SWFA 1-4 I could run on it until I identify the scope Horrigan used. Once I figure that out, that's what I'll get, and this will get broken down and rebuilt as a clone. Only downside there is I don't have an NT4 suppresor and I hate shooting unsuppressed.

I was going to throw my 3-9 SWFA on because it looks like the old B&L 10x that NSW seemed to like, but it's going to have a new home real soon.
