Training day with the mk18, cqbr’s, B2, URG-I and of course the Recce... @SecretSquirell - here’s one of my set-ups although short work it’s a target rich environment. 2nd pic posted has 12 targets in view. First portion is pistol work, 2nd portion is carbine 30 to 100m nearly 300 degree.

Yeah I couldn't pass up the Brownells $110 off sale they ran. Picked up a couple small parts I needed anyhow to put me at the spend for the discount. I already had a spare SF4P sitting around and the colt receiver and BCG so it just made too much sense . So it's "their" fault. LOL

the video appears to be about 8 years old, i'd say it's that dam neck 416 recce of indeterminate barrel length and suppressor type we've seen in some pics.

Is AEMB the only correct muzzle device if using an AEM5? I hate brakes. |

Got a Larue 12" handguard stealth 16" that I've been dragging along (including posting in the industry to ADCO) to make a recce inspired by TSGT Chapman, now I'm undecided as to whether or not to chop the barrel the wee bit when I have them do the slight contour for the collar.
Also really curious if anyone can help identify the optic- the turrets didn't look right for the NF, and it really reminded me of the Leupold 1-4 VX stuff which from what I found dates back this far.

FF RAS is on the way, 1.375 NF rings as well. Form 1 on the lower should be done here in a couple months, by then I should have the barrel paid for. Definitely doing a CLE spun douglas 15.1. May be sacrilegious and use my nx8 on it though.
