Done, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep trying to get some info added/changed.
|
|
|
Sweet rifles!

Please feel free to send me info to add or subtract from the first post. I tried to clear it up fairly well but there are always those oddballs that seem to slip through

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 |

People who have any m4 clone can post with out getting hated on.

|
|
I agree, I was just thinking about that.
|
|
|
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. |

Just allow Block I clones into the Block II thread, This, AFSOC does their own thing compared to other units, though they have been seen in the Block II / CQBR thread. |

I noticed in the OP that the SOPMOD stock was not listed as a block I component (only CAR and M4 stock) Is this just an oversight, or does placing a SOPMOD stock on it make it a Block 1.5?

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 |
|
|
Changed to M4 just for you
![]() The SOPMOD not being listed on the Block I was a simple oversight on my part, I apologize for that! I also added a little more barrel info per Augee's guidance. Now we just need lots more pictures! |
|
|
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!! |

LMT is a company with lousy QC. Buy from a company that cares about its products, like Bravo Company or LaRue.
|
Wish I could afford a tax stamp to slap on a M4 upper 14.5 with A2 flash hider
Mine wouldnt count since its a 14.5 +phantom and I use a larue mount for my aimpoint Other than that I have everything else |
|
YOU ARE THE SAFETY !!!
|
I decided to dress mine up. I took my SF 952 and tried to put the original SF mount back on and stripped a screw. Now I have an infrared capable door stop.

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 could do that. I just need a QRP mount. I even have the KAC sight.

When did the transition from the CAR stock to the SOPMOD stock take place?

The production transition from the CAR-style stock to the newer M4-style stock occurred around 2002. 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 |

What Block if any does the 12" rifle version of the KAC RAS fall into?
|
|
Save Lives...Keep Civilians Armed.
|
The 12" KAC RAS Free Float was for the Mk12 Mod1 Rifle and the USMC's SAM-R rifle, neither of which are part of the M4 SOPMOD Program.
|
|
|
What sling would have been issued for the M4 style stock? Sopmod stock?
I love my Mamba but it doesn't ride well on the Sopmod..... |

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 |
