That's a good question, I have no clue Looks almost like some sort of cantilever mount with nothing mounted on it

Maybe it's a mount for putting some sort of NV in front of the ACOG.

You can put your weed in there.

That's what I think it is.

Issued AN/PVS-14 mount.

Dunno, but I dig the tactical car side-view mirror, for peeking round corners darn good idea!

Nope. The forward unit is the detached carryhandle with the rear sight. When a unit deploys without a seperate rearward mounted flip-up rear sight, some commanders specify that the carryhandle be attached to the weapon, to facilitate an emergency iron sight capability, if the optics fail, the handle is moved to the top of the upper reciever.
Ranger Batt. did it for a little while back in the day, it was also dummy corded. You could not keep it in your ruck, or your rack. Had to be attached to the rifle.
Oops, the thing RIGHT in front of the ACOG is the PVS-14 mount, I was looking at the carryhandle on the left side.

Directly in front of the ACOG is NOT a detached carry handle.  Doesn't look remotely like that.

That is not the carry handle either, it is an AN/PEQ-2.

That's an AN/PEQ2A on the left side, not a carrying handle.  It's too early to start drinking.
10/18/2005 10:58:53 AM EDT
[#15]
yeah, i noticed none of the guys carrying m16's had their carry handles attached either. but it could be any number of places on their vests of a thousand pockets!


thanks for the clarification! the arf.kom hive mind knows all...

You're still wrong.  The item on the left side is a PEQ-2, not a carrying handle.

ETA: Busch308 beat me to it while I was typing.

Holy shit! I just blew up the image!
I had better STFU while I still can!
I am as wrong as 2 boys smooching!

Not to 'jack the thread...and thanks for posting this...but every time I see a pic of one of these young fire-pissers, my heart swells with pride.  You guyz who are of the age...and in the shit are absolutely the best our country has to offer.

You are GREAT grunts...and you make us, your fathers, and moreover, your grandfathers, those men of the now-arguable, "Greatest Generation" most proud of you.

Semper Fi!

And yes...it looks like a mount for an NV sight.
