Hello, I've been a lurker around here for a long time now, and finally decided to post up pics of my rifles. I've been super lucky, I keep getting awesome deals on most of the stuff I buy. Heres my Beowulf that I just picked up, cant wait to shoot this beast. It's an AA Beo upper on a RRA lower. She's got an A.R.M.S. 40 rear and a Troy front flip up. I think its a CAA handgrip, not too sure on that and an picatinny rail on the bottom of the handguards http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e296/wombatturd/goinghome068.jpg Here is my RRA, I love this thing. It's RRA upper and lower, with a KAC RASII, A.R.M.S. 40 flip up, KNS anti-rotation pins. It had a Tango down grip, but after lugging around a 203 in Iraq for seven months I actually like the M16A2 grip so I swapped it. The only problem I had was with the first couple rounds, the gas key was loose. So after about 3500 rounds, mostly of Wolf ammo, I have had zero problems (omitting the first of course) http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e296/wombatturd/goinghome065.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e296/wombatturd/goinghome066.jpg Here's my Colt from Iraq. Trijicon ACOG, KAC RAS rail, and Colt M203. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e296/wombatturd/MayJune011.jpg Funny thing is I got to take this rifle out of the grease paper, clean it, break it in, and take it to Iraq. We ran about 2-3k rounds on pre-deployment training, and this thing is absolutely reliable, but it became a rattle trap. I have about the same amount of rounds through my RRA and that thing still is very tight. When it was brand new it was very tight, and the fit and finish was way better than my previous Colt M16A2, but the more rounds we put through it the thing the more the upper and lower moved around. Sorry for the rambling, just an observation. Oh and heres a group picture I took for the monthly wipedown 2 M1 Garands, one done up for matches, both from the 1940's 1 1903 Springfield, 2 Rem 870's, 1 H&K SL8, Glock 22, H&K USP45f, and H&K P30 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e296/wombatturd/goinghome064.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e296/wombatturd/goinghome069.jpg Hey, thanks for looking and also for a great internet resource. I know alot of the questions are redundant but you guys do help out alot of people new to the sport/hobby including me. And I can't help but laugh every time I go to general discussion, there are some hilarious people on here. Thanks again. |
I am with 4th ANGLICO USMC, a reserve unit out of Florida. I thought it was funny that a reserve unit got brand new gear including rifles, but the MEU's out there are running around with old ass A2s and A4s. We even got the retractable saw stocks and shorty saw barrels. |
I am sure you know your best weapon is between your ears since you made it back. It doesn't hurt to have a decent shootin' iron in your hand either.
