Components: Bushmaster upper and lower RRA NM trigger worked on by WOA Bushmaster 16" flutedHBAR (prefect for the Recce concept IMO) Carbine-length gas system Midwest Industries gas block YHM Phantom flash suppressor Troy MRF-RX 13.5" free float rail system M4 stock CAA stock saddle (no cash for another SOPMOD at the moment  )ERGO pistol grip (fits my hand the best) CAA VFG w/ battery storage (prefer it to the TD) Some no-name bipod adapter SureFire G2 w/ Z32 shock-isolated bezel some tape switch I found in a drawer Badger Ordnance Gen 2 tac latch Buffer Tech single point sling plate ASP single-point sling YHM A1-style rear BUIS PRI front BUIS Trijicon ACOG TA31F The story behind the ACOG is interesting. I picked it up for $585 (!) used in the EE. It came camoed, and my original intent was to immediately remove the paint, but once I got the thing put together I decided the camo goes pretty nicely with the build anyway, so I'm going to keep it as is.

An MRP is a specific type of monolithic upper with a proprietary barrel mounting system made by LMT. A recce is just military slang for a 16" barrelled carbine capable of precision fire. |
Nice! It looks like it will be a shooter. I had a Troy rail and I called them about making a sling stud that would screw into the side of the rail and they told me they were going to make one. I havnt seen it yet and sold the Troy but I would email them. They were really fast to respond and really nice to talk with. One of the guys even called me to discuss the idea. |
The stock saddle gives you a huge bang for your buck. The cheek weld is just as good as with the SOPMOD, and I have never experienced face-pinching. I can see how it might happen on someone with a full beard though. Obviously it doesn't seem quite as sturdy as a solid SOPMOD stock, but at the same time I've taken stock saddles through a couple of carbine courses with no problems whatsoever. |
I can't see it, hold on... there's an outline of something on one of them. Nope, I just saw the Predator... sorry, no ACOG.  Can't believe you fell for that.

Nice, I just bought three and I like them alot. |
 Apparently I left my sense of humor somewhere in the Middle East! D'oh!

LOL... you two. What are you brothers or something? Phoebus, I know it's not an SDM-R... but you have a capable-looking shooter there. Give us a range-report when you can. |
