I don't remember where I found this pic, or if it has been posted, (heck it could be airsoft for all I know)
 , but I just wanted to post it because of the interesting choice in rapid transition sights. Also noticed they are using adm mounts for their lpvo's. Anyone know what company makes the sights? They look like maybe deuck defense but I'm not sure without a closer look. Attached File |

Awaiting piggyback doctor and a peq.
my RC1 will reside on it when my 4P gets here, but for now I guess I'll settle for the NT4. my gf said she will pay half the pvs31 when I save the rest, so I held off on a laser for now.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZ_SBR: The A1 designation at the end (M855A1) is an important distinction vs. what you're comparing it to. This round is optimized for the shorter barrels. It's a much less common round to find and thus, the price can be pretty steep. There's nothing really specific about it for shorter barrels. |

Testing seemed to be on the 20” and 14.5.” |

Yeah that was clearly written by some nerd that publishes shit for Army acquisitions. Doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work pretty well but the goal of that round is exactly what the mission states.

Thanks guys figured there might be a difference between the M855 I'm familiar with and the $3/rd stuff. Learn something new everyday.
Just out of curiosity, what are the advantages of M855A1 over MK262/Sierra Matchking 77gr OTM rounds? I always thought MK262 was the military round that was optimized for accuracy and had ballistics that helped make up for the shortcomings of 10.3" barrels. |

Life is hard. Rifle looks great by the way.On a side note, I just finished installing the mk12 gb onto the colt m4cqb, 4p wit( rocksett, as well as installing the new barrel and reinstalling the ris ii. The barrel length is on par with crane spec colt m4 cutdowns and dd 10.3" The BA chf is longer than crane spec even though it was sold as crane spec. After timing the 4p, the gap from suppressor to rail decreased a little from what it was with the BA. Now to get to the range! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brodband8: I sure hope that mawl never needs an elevation adjustment on the go I try to refrain from dialing up for distance with my lasers But on the real this is one of the big reasons I am far from a big fan of the mawl, unless your running a light on the left side for a right handed shooter of the mawl it is a pain in the ass. Your limited to basically using a surefire scout with the small heads as the medium and large head lights don’t fit, no insight lights no surefire x300’s. And like you said elevation is blocked when a light is installed like so. If this didn’t have one of the best illumination set ups in terms of performance and quick mode change it would stay in my safe a lot more. |

I'll have to try a reverse image search to see where it leads me. Yeah usually if surefire suppressors are present and there are offset sights good chance dueck sights are the brand. Barry dueck is actually the creator of the surefire suppressor division and the socom cans. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GHOS7: DD vs Badger Mk12 GB, does it matter at all? The Daniel Defense gas block is sold as the, "commercial" version. Maybe that only has to do with packaging. (The box?) Most stainless gas blocks are made of 17-4 stainless and often are investment castings. The MK12 gas block is supposed to be machined from 416 stainless. There have been some clones made of chrome moly steel, carbon steel or 17-4 stainless. Both Daniel Defense and Badger M12 gas blocks seem to be the correct dimensions and 416 material. |

Badger isn't an official supplier for the CQBR/SOPMOD program although they were the supplier for the actual Mk12 rifle so close enough I guess.
Per CD... Quote HistoryGot the CAGE code and NSN off the packaging and here's the results on the low profile gas blocks. There are 3 suppliers for the NSN (ones I have here are from Coronet) NSN: 1005-01-597-1170 Cylinder, Gas Gun CAGE 12255 USN, Crane IN 9K646 Coronet Machinery Corp, Bethel CT 3E3E2 Daniel Defense Inc, Black Creek GA Out of those 3 suppliers, believe you would only be able to get one from DD. CD Daniel Defense are the easiest to source and are the same product just in commercial packaging. Badger are to spec and are an acceptable alternative. I've seen a few Coronet's floating around but they are rare. Obviously, the DRMO kits are a mystery pick of the 3 above. |

LolEta- I can’t help but wonder if the badger mk12 gas blocks were used on the early mod1’s for the navy? Unless Crane were producing their own at that point? Idk though, just speculation/curious? |

The 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Level 1 Dive Team completed its month-long Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET) in Peru with Fuerza de Operaciones Especiales (Peruvian Navy SEALs). The Detachment capitalized on this unique opportunity by conducting small unit tactics in the jungle of the Amazon Rainforest, combat diving operations in the Pacific Ocean, and live fire exercises in a subtropical desert environment. This JCET enhanced the proficiency of both units, extended USSF operational reach, and further solidified USSOF as the Partner of Choice.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TinyCrumb: I can't help but laugh my ass off when I see that drill (and ones like it) and I don't think I've ever heard a single good justification for them. So bizarre. Its not really a drill, It's the "Operator Readiness Test" from Redback One/Jason Falla. Essentially its a check on learning of a lot of handling skills under time constraints. It's not really intended to be a drill to practice anything, it's intended to test your ability to manipulate your weapons quickly and accurately get off those first transition rounds. Most people see it as a skill to be practiced vs a single data point to check performance. Falla has demonstrated it in various environments (dsy/night, full CBRNE gear) as a way to compare manipulation data under various constraints. Its not something to be practiced, it's a way to collect data. |
