Yeah, I had the SBR before the M4A1 but didn't feel like paying money for an LMT just to make it match again. I honestly kind of like the coyote stock with the rest of the 50 shades of FDE on the M4. |

I do not understand how you can mount buis behind the elcan and it be comfortable. I run mine without, however, I don’t need to run it all the way back. |

I run mine without, however, I don’t need to run it all the way back. I'm guessing for range use it's pretty easy to make the adjustments but for quick shouldering and target acquisition, I'd have to lean my neck forward and get into a more uncomfortable position to stay in the eyebox --- but again, I've seen pics of some of our boys using them like that overseas so I am genuinely curious. I can't get nose to charging handle with proper LOP or unnaturally moving my neck forward. I'm not overweight or wearing armor. Idk |

Depending on the unit, there can be SOP's, usually at the individual team level, that dictate BUIS being on the gun, and their location. If you get issued an Elcan, have to have BUIS behind it, and the armory won't swap your Elcan for something else....kinda SOL. I've seen EXPS 3-0's mounted, and electrical taped down, halfway out on the rail of Mk18's, within the last year. SOF =/= gun guy |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By secretwheelman: It's not ideal, but as a long time NF user, I'm used to short eye relief/tight eyebox optics. I had a PRI riser on it before that allowed me to use buis and have the Elcan mounted farther back, which was better. If my life depended on it, I'd ditch the rear sight and move it back. Ah, understood. I thought I was going crazy here.

Nothing done to taper grooves for protection.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By deadbeef: On SOCOM profile barrels they left FSB right? :) Generally YES, On a DD M4A1 for FSB, they used the existing barrel. 98% of the time it was a 14.5" SOCOM barrel standard for the M4A1 at the time. The other 2% used 14.5" Govt profile. They are a PIA as you have to remove the FSB to install the rail then reattach the FSB. USASFC thought they'll save money by reusing the existing barrels. Which is a wear item. CD |
