View Quote Bro, I dunno....I do know that LMT had some and they were part of a kit and they had both rifle and carbine kits. Shitty thing is they were $400 - $500 kits. Thats insane to me and then you add in that LMT had some QC issues where machining marks were evident in the 37mm launcher eceivers and when customers asked about it LMTs response was something allegedly along the lines of "yeah we are aware and we dont care. We made these just to get them out because our real customers are not people that are shooting just high dollar fireworks". It was not me that was told be LMT but it was relayed to me by someone it happened to. At that point I was like well fuuuuuuck you to then LMT. I do have my 203FL and I have not had the chance to open my box and inspect it but I suppose whatever it looks like is what I am stuck with. Off to the EE I go for a WTB post. |

Thanks that’s what I was thinking, I know a lot of people go to the tear drop just because it looks cool. I have a line on a big button so going that route. Any guesses on the dust cover being a a1 or a2?

Some how i ended up with two Gordy builds. So I figure one of each would be neat (don’t remind me the movie gun is an A2 upper. I already though about taking it apart but I stopped myself, for now) |

Any guesses on the dust cover being a a1 or a2? View Quote There is no "standard" for what kind of forward assist an A2/FS upper might have had, all four variants have been seen in use during this era. Kyle Lamb's R0723 had a teardrop and Brad Halling's had a "Small Button" / A2, both A2/FS upper with case deflectors. That being said, "Big Button" or "Cut Button"/"D" is the correct forward assist for that particular rifle, but it is inconclusive whether it was an A1 or A2 forging; ejection port cover is A2. ~Augee |

View Quote Yeah there's a photo of some Dev guys posted up by a gate and one of their carbines has a 3.5x35 ACOG, IIRC. Technically speaking, the 4x32 TA01 dropped in '87 (non-illum), and then the big 3.5x35 came out in '91. According to Trijicon's history, the 1.5x16, 1.5x24, 2x20, and 3x24 models also debuted in '93 but I doubt any saw procurement until '95 or so. |

Concur. I ran my A2 in ‘03 with a 550 chord loop through the FSP A frame and a doubled up loop of 550 taped with 100mph tape around the stock. It’s almost like the sling loops being on the bottom of the gun are retarded for actual combat use. |
