I think its good to see the dedicated threads. I have asked a couple of questions in the block II thread about block I stuff and get no response. Its good to have information flowing on the individual rifles where the info wont get all jumbled up |

Combine it with the ARFSOC thread too.
It would basically be an all inclusive SOPMOD/SF/MIL picture thread with clones of only those guns. One requirement could be that the rail system, accessories, and optics must have an NSN associated with them to qualify for the picture thread. |

Can I protest ever so briefly and request that "M-4" be changed to "M4" without the hyphen? It's going to bug me from now until the end of time...
Also, the RO921HB profile barrel was introduced around 2000 - most post-2000 and most War on Terror M4A1s would all have the "SOCOM" profile barrel. ~Augee |
Patiently waiting for the Army dedicated thread, the USMC dedicated thread, the USAF dedicated thread, the Navy dedicated thread,the SWAT dedicated thread, etc. 
We wouldn't have so many of these threads if the same people didn't post the same pics of the same rifles over and over and over again. Every time someone takes new pics, every thread has to be updated and bumped, and its hardly ever for something new. Its usually the same people jerking each other off over the same things. Constantly. And if you wants rules for a thread, NO AIRSOFT PARTS ON YOUR RIFLES!! |
Ok, here is one of the same old people posting a bunch of old pics:
There is a M4 upper in here somewhere:

LMT is a company with lousy QC. Buy from a company that cares about its products, like Bravo Company or LaRue.

The Block II just became a clunky, porky pig of a carbine and is great in a semi-precision role but for what a carbine is for... IMO the Block I shines. |
I need to hurry up and get an optic and RAS......................Damn nice rifles guys, I love the M4!!

I don't know why but your rifle looks so different than mine, and its the exact same thing. Maybe it's cause yours is pretty and new lol Mine is new and still a virgin. Your rifle looks authentic. I like yours. |

I believe that the "enhanced M4 buttstock" was introduced somewhere around 2003-ish, though I'm not 100% certain on the date. They were designed at Crane based on the old Colt ACR stock before being contracted out. ~Augee |

It's "official," and was designed by NSWC-Crane, one of the few "recce" pictures has a prototype version, but I don't think that there was a "transition" between the two where it was ever said "this stock will be replaced by this stock" the way you would say "the AN/PEQ-2 and AN/PEQ-5 components will now be replaced by the LA-5/PEQ component." It's just an option. The conventional side is about the same - SOPMOD stocks are available and issued and can be used if desired, but there's not a "transition" per se. ~Augee |

There was an official sling as part of the block 1, complete with sling attachment for the KAC RAS, but it was horrible. Most were home made or from standard USGI M4 slings. Mine-

I'm running a TA01-NSN w/ Docter (I know its not part of the SOPMOD program, but I like it!!) and I just can't on a whim buy it without seeing it first.

At least, in the beginning, they were using the TA01NSN with a J-point MRD on top, which, as I understand it, was later changed to the Docter. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. |

The MRD was a PIP for the 4x DOS. Most commonly it was the JPoint with the JP winged mount, but some Docters were used as well. There was not an "official" MRD until the MRDS. ~Augee |
