Any suggestions for "Just paint over it"...was wondering about options for leaving it bare after removing the cerakote, trying to re-finish it the best way to be clone correct, or just hit it with some tan spray paint and mount it to the DD rail...

If you're careful sandblasting the cerakote off, the ano should still be fine. If you blast it down to bare metal, you're gonna need to get it re-ano'd. If you go that route it might end up being cheaper and easier to find a virgin upper. Me? I'd just paint over what you've got now. |

Still being used by SEALS.
 As part of Operation POLAR DAGGER, East-Coast-based U.S. Naval Special Warfare Operators (SEALs) conduct combatant craft assault and terrestrial operations on Shemya Island, Alaska, Aug. 23. The SOF members transited to the Arctic via the USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26). LPD 26 is an amphibious transport dock ship known for its many unique capabilities that make it an ideal platform to support special operations forces. Operations NOBLE DEFENDER and POLAR DAGGER sharpen joint special operations integration and provides the forces the opportunity to test new capabilities and advance response options in defense of the U.S. homeland.

How common are the non-adjustable Kac popsicle stick rear sights? All four are in use. Most common for USASOC units is the MaTech currently, do to being a big Army item (SEALS get them too). The KAC 300m (popsicle stick as you call it) was the first BUIS issued under Block I. Not very common today. Marines/Navy use the KAC 600m Mirco and all use the KAC 600m. Also, all are black. Currently I've got only one KAC 600m micro, and about 50/50 split between MaTechs and KAC 600m for issue. So, personal preference which to go with. |
