Can anyone tell me if a LaRue LT 7" rail will apply to the block 1.5 criteria?
I've dug up some old threads consisting of quite a few individuals stating that these were indeed in use on a unit level and in very few hands mid-late War on Terror era. I've heard 5th group mentioned specifically. If anyone has any information to share on this, please do. This elusive M4 configuration is pretty intriguing. Also, wanted to know if there were ever any QD end plate options for the block 1 and 2? Sorry for the double post |

Went through some old pics and got nostalgic seeing my old M4A1. Just ordered the Colt LE6920SOCOM to try and replicate my OIF2 rifle. That VLI may have not been too bright, but it worked. I think it was a little brighter using three CR123's instead of triple A's. I might have to give up on finding a PEQ-2 though. I wish there was an extended NT4 flash hider that I could replace the A2 one and avoid SBR engraving.

Just plain old Recon Bn. MARSOC wasn't stood up until mid '06 I believe. We got those M4A1's about two months before deployment. No RAS, just plain handguards. Got the ACOG at the same time. Once in country we got accessories from the unit we replaced. Brand new NT4's showed up about mid deployment. I was always jealous of the Force Recon guys with their 1911's.

ETA unless its just my eyes fucking up again. Think my eyesight is starting to go. Here's a pic of another guy in company doing a mag dump with my rifle. You can see four pieces of brass flying, so it's a legit full-auto M4A1. There were some M4 burst rifles still in our armory at that time as well. I honestly didn't know the difference between the M4 and M4A1, besides the modes of fire, at that time.  Attached File |
