Pic Request: Recce style rifles (Page 2 of 220)
|
Hokie – Thanks for the explanation, that all makes perfect sense. As you note, each situation is different. Each person needs to evaluate their own needs and intended use and then setup their weapon accordingly. Sounds like you nailed it for your purpose. (and that 5.56MM TAP is some sweet ammo too! Nice trade. I should have bought more of it when I had the chance ) 1962guy - RECCE is slang for Reconnaissance. Basically just another way to refer to a “recon” rifle. |

Thanks! I realized that as I was typing up the parts list  It's in there though! I'm not much on posing the pictures. That one is just laying on my garage floor. Heck, I'm lucky my feet aren't in the pic.

very very nice.

STILL one of my favorite Recces on this board. |
Would John Wayne be having this conversation?

I know....I briefly considered sending my gun to him for some professional photos... but then realized my wife would NEVER go for it. |

I love a rifle that's PURE function... I would have to say that is my favorite rifle I've seen on the board... Hose clamps for light mounts... PRICELESS!  A++ my friend! You get 3 out of 3 headbanger dudes...  PS - The Short Dot is the icing  |
big +1 that is a sweet rifle |
Very nice. I never get tired of you posting pictures of that rifle. Keep them coming. |

I wish I had some of those rigs when I was in doing Recce Routes. When I was in the USAF on Recce routes, we just had M4A1's and the only optics they gave us were binocs... Though the USAF definition of Recce is to gather information only... only fighting when fired upon and to preserve life and gain a route to safely break contact. |
| Guys all these Recces are so nice,but i have a question..are these rifles used in combat.?.i am wanting to build an upper,to go with my m4gery,and according to Wikipedia,they were built in house by seal armorers,but they are no pics.does anyone have any pics of them in use..?.thanks Stump |
I asked an East Coast SEAL Sniper buddy of mine the same question-because the only "Recce's" I've seen have been "clones". Well, if nobody has ever seen any pics of actual Recce's in use-then what the hell are you "cloning". I understand "Recce" to be a concept. Most of the rifles you see members build fit that concept very well. I received this email response from my buddy regarding the Recce. Apparently the actual Recce's are whole lot simpler than some of the fancy stuff you see posted and they don't call them Recce's.

so is it to say that the recce came before the spr..?. or durring the devlopement of the spr through the army SF community.thanks for the help..Stump |
I believe after the SPR, when the Mk12 Mod1 wasn't exactly what some guys were looking for. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. |
|
I think the M4A1 with a KAC MRE and various variable scopes came first. The SPR started off as the Special Purpose Receiver and several bbl lengths where played with -- it became Special Purpose Rifle with the 18" bbl and was typed as the Mk12 (SPR A became Mk12 Mod0 and SPR B became Mk12Mod1) [I've seen a few units with Larue tubes on both their M4A1's and Mk12's - but it never got the Mk12 Mod2 moniker] Several units before and after had 16" "Recce's" built. Most of the units with a large degree of latitude on these builds are extremely photo shy. |

Man, that is frickin' beautiful... |
| ok i have one more question,in my futher research,a recce was a upper that was added to the team members kit,that was configured to his liking.so to say that a 16"er,with a ops inc. muzzel brake ,ff railed handgaurd,low pro gas block,larue spr-e mount, leupold 1.5-5x20, flip up front and rear sights,all on a lower with the newer 6 pos colt stock wouldnt be out of the ball park ..would it..thanks..Stump |
I'd say that's sitting somewhere between second and third base. Sounds like a nice setup, and the Leupy will work great in the SPR-E if you are a NTCH shooter. |
Mine worked perfectly NTCH using a 1.5 |

roger that..i would like to have a vltor or lmt,but i have 4 kids..lmao...so another upper seems a better way to spend my money right now..my m4gery can hold 2.5" groups @ 100 yards,on an eotech with the rra 6 pos stock..thanks guys you have been a gerat deal of help.o also how do i post pics of my m4gery..?,and my recce upper when im done with her..thanks..Stump |

I have been waiting the last three months for all the money and parts to finally get in, but it was well worth the wait. I get to sight in the new sights Saturday and I will try and get better pics then. Still to come is the RRA 2-stage trigger and probably a better stock. before  After This is my setup minus the bipod for the pic.

Just remember, friendly fire isn't !
Damn dude, how'd you get that front KAC Flip? |
