You could also rig up an Alice adjuster to make the sling adjustable. Guys were rigging up there own stuff that way back then.  |

Cool also cause the uniform and gear are from when I went in at MCRD and Pendleton in 1987. ETA: Green Mountain used to sell that barrel profile. I thought about buying one but never did. |

My barrel is a 14.5 Colt gov profile, Brownells BCG, and Schmidt Tool lpk.

I kind of wish I would have gone with a govt profile instead of a SOCOM, since it is a bit front heavy. |

Found a used Sig M400 barrel w/fsb that has a much closer bbl profile but still 16" so non nfa. It has a socom profile under the handguard and is 1/7 CL so it would be great for frt use Attached File Attached File |
