I'm trying to find an image from my files; my sniper plt had 6 SAM-Rs in Ramadi in 06 we used to good effect (along with an SR-25) for the short ranges that most engagements took place in. I'm fairly certain they painted them just like the bolt guns, the SR, and the M82s...but I know you guys won't be happy if it isn't provable in the wild! |

Honestly, I have no intention of painting it ...for now. Talked to one of my snipers, while he didn't paint his team's he said some of the teams did paint theirs. (still no pics though). To add to the conversation we also threw KAC suppressors on ours when those showed up (sadly no pics of that either). It was the good old days, we had an M40A1 that was still floating around (no platoon would send it back since it was nice to have just in case) and the battalion had a wide range of in theater toys; my favorite was that we had both M79's and M32's at the same time-both were good for specific purposes. In case anyone wants to suppress just for S&G's it was these: 
Changed out the flash hider and they clipped on, worked well on M4's and the SAM-R's. The SR was already suppressed. Bought a few seconds which was good since average time before engagement was less than 4 hours in a hide and usually after dumping someone we had to transition to emergency extract as the other side got pissed. Pic is of a different mission, removal of insurgent infrastructure....(aka an AQI owned/operated gas station). Cheers- Ray |

Me, 1000yrd line, shooting steel man-sized silouettes with MK262 Mod-1 (yes we were able to achieve consistant hits with quite a bit of holdover mind you.....
)
Note the Range is in a "tunnel" so wind is really not much of an issue here. Great place t get a "no-wind" zero. WOA SDM upper TA31F (not my preferred optic) LMT lower with Geissele SSA-E (of course) Has a fixed stock now and upper is painted. I will get some more current pics up in about a week or so. 
Here is one from 2007 that I had. took the upper overseas, sadly it didnt come back with me but continued to serve with a fellow Soldier for some time. He kept it.... 
This was an ADCO Built one. 
I know they are not exact clones but they served and serve me well....... cp |

My SDM-R ish clone.
Upper is a Superior Barrels SDM upper. Lower is a combination of things, and you'll notice the Magpul grip and aftermarket trigger guard. Bipod is Harris but the adapter is YHM. ACOG and MaTech buis. http://www.shop.superiorbarrels.com/product.sc?productId=106&categoryId=13 I am thinking of selling the upper since I've got the SBR bug right now and want to do a MK18 build. |

Where did you get that purple RAS??? Is that dat new shit??? It came from an upper I pulled off the EE that had a few years on it. I assumed it was current production when I bought it but was surprised when it showed up. Funny you mention the Mod1 cause I've got a new RAS coming in from brownells today that I intended for a Mod1 but the more I think about it a H seems like a more viable 2nd build for me to take on right now since the SAM barrel gets sent off this week and wraps up soon. Too many damn options and too little patience on my end

I have a new FF RAS coming from OP parts toward the end of the month. Might even hand deliver it. |

It's to bridge the gap for rifleman when you don't have a sniper team as support. SS platoons usually have the leeway to paint their weapons (at least the precision rifles), unless you have a Bn Commander who has a hard on for rules and regulations and doesn't want any weapon painted at all, even if part of your job is to blend in with the habitat.... |
