I was over as a contractor, and while my job didn't involve shooting, (I was working as a helo pilot) we did get our weapons training and quals done by the group guys. Our primary liaison with one set of customers lent me his CQBR and as much ammo as I could shoot in an afternoon. Triggered my need for an SBR when I got home. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1609/24729778523_cc02bb5913_b.jpgCQBR-01 Assisted another set of customers with an unusual request. Involved a helicopter, a car they were "leasing" from a local, and lot's and lot's of heavy weapons. Won't say how those all interacted with each other, but it was a fun afternoon. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4342/36018946960_3f2932168b_b.jpgAT4-1 Both are from Shank in '13. In reality, time on the range was pretty limited. Most of my time was co-ordinating with customers or flying. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4355/36247427282_39690cb617_b.jpgFriendlySkies A lot think they're finnicky and break easy. |

Contractor Blackwater Tikrit 2005. This was the Provincial Council building if I remember correctly.

This was a Leupold Mk 4 MRT with M2 knobs. I had cans of Mk 262 Mod 0 and doped rifle out to 800 yards. Accurate rifle. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/CAM308/IMG_0138.jpg |

Rifle was a Bushmaster build, as were all the rifles on that Tikrit Task Order before the DoS issued weapons were rolled out. DoS used Colt M-4's and did not issue 556 platform sniper rifles. They used M-24's and SR-25's. I was later a DDM in Baghdad and got issued a brand new M-24.
I did like the SPR's and think they had a place on the Task Order but DoS did not agree apparently. We got our Mk 262 mod 0 ammo from Group guys who were rotating out. Some of our guys would make drug deals for ammo, frags, etc. Not actual drugs, just a term.....booze deals more appropriate. I don't have any more detailed specs on the rifle except the serial number. Added new pic for better side view, before I had a chance to paint it.

That looks just like my RRA, except without the aimpoint. I've set it up lightweight for my kids..... It runs really good, and seems to have really good accuracy. I won't post a pic in there, it's in the M4 thread. It's not an issue rifle.
Is yours an HBAR too? |

And I guess I could understand the tape as its quickly enough removed and would prevent an ND anywho. What I can't get my head behind is the 10 rounds. Domestic terrorism is a thing, and gatherings like these are one of their favorite targets. Now you guys are stuck with taped off 10 rds and the equivalent to a CA legal AR15.

The NG is deployed to make the people believe that they are there to curb still looters. When in fact they aren't. Their ROE is to run to the nearest LEO. Hence why we're tasked with them. We are baby sitting the NG. I am better equipped than the NG is. I'm LE, not NG. During and after 9/11, the majority of NG were carrying empty rifles. It is all a dog and pony show. |

Some of the weapons the good Lord has provided me here in AFG (right now). Good times are had by all. If you're wondering I spent a bunch of time the other day delinking and relinking the 7.62 ammo bc the mg3 uses non-disintegrating belts. Abt ripped all the skin off my index finger jerking the rounds out of the links.  The people who furnish me w/the Mg3 have serialized ammunition lots with paperwork done for a single round lost or expended. Thus the ammo-building fun when I need more... Also thanks again to the hard working US tax payer that makes all this possible.
Side note the Mg3 is fast as shit. It's quite difficult to get less than 3 rds odd even with the quickest trigger jerk/release. I'd say abt 1200 rpm or so. It makes 240's seem slow as shit, seriously. |

You can barely make out the "2" stamped over the "1" and you can see where the "AUTO" marking was milled out and "BURST" was engraved in the newly milled oval area. |
