Looks like a GG&G flip-up. I too have seen them on M4's, but not nearly as prevalent as the Matech. I believe the .mil was also using Knight's 300m flip-up, mainly before the Matechs became "mainstream". ETA---WTF is up with the 100mph tape on the rear of that troop's lower? |

The tape for a tape switch for a light, or something, I forget without looking at the whole photo, but you can see the wire under the ejection port cover. Now, why the soldier put it there, I haven't a clue, because it must make it awful irritating to clean the weapon. ~Augee |

Certainly they do, and you put it where you are most comfortable, but as an individual, and certain that soldier's squad leader should have raised an eyebrow, and put a kibosh on taping the upper and lower together, and covering the takedown pin on a combat weapon, in of all places, Iraq, where weapons maintenance is critical. That being said, it could be a temporary thing, for that particular mission, ect. ~Augee |
