I found this pic over on the USMC home page and thought that some of you SAM fans might want to check it out.



Marines from Golf Battery, Battalion Landing Team 1st Bn., 6th Marines, the ground combat element of the 22d Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), aim in during a live fire exercise in Albania during the MEU's recent amphibious landing exercise (PHIBLEX).

Edited to add the caption from the USMC news page.

Nice pic, giff. Thanks.

Scopes look like TS-30A2 / MR/T in ARMS rings. Very nice setups.

You can also see where a 20 round magazine can still be useful.

Out-freaking-standing.  

I noticed the guy above said that the marine on the left had no mag inserted.  It looks like on the photo that his trigger finger is on the mag release.  Perhaps he just dropped it out of view.  Or he is spotting for the other guy who does have a mag inserted and his finger on the trigger...

I like the hole dug by the 30rnd magazine.  If i did not think he was using it to stabize his weapon, I would say some 20's would be in order.

What muzzle device is that, standard A2?

The east coast is sure a sexy weapon.  I don't know about you guys, but it is getting me all hot.

The bipod is determining the position of his rifle far more than the magazine is.

Great find giffmann

He is probably fulfilling the role of spotter for his buddy.
