Indeed, it’s a SkeetIR-X and they are very neat little units.

Read this thread and the linked articles. It will blow the definition of "clone" into the stratosphere. What's "program" and what is actually being used are not always the same.

What about Comp M4’s? They’re not block ii, but they’re sure seen a lot. If everyone ran the same three optics and a wmx-200 instead of all the awesome stuff operators are seen using this would be a boring thread |

Thinking of selling my acog and picking up a vortex razor. Can’t afford a geissele mount and the razor right now but I have a Larue LT104 I could use and i’d still like to be able to practice with my KAC sights anyways.
Are there any good in the wild LT104 pics? Preferably with a razor There’s this one that kinda looks like a LaRue Mount with the horizontal screws but it could just as easily be a ADM mount

I actually sold that device you speak of and funded the M4A1 Block II FSP URG with that money. Just figured it was unnecessary for what I currently need. However, I didn't have my chubby M962 on for the shoot. Was debating about keeping that, but I've added it back on for now. Have to keep reminding myself that when the can gets approved, it will help complete the look of the build; even if it sucks. |
