My MOS wasn't high speed or infantry so I never did any patrolling. Standing around pulling guard duty it wasn't horrible, an M4 would've been better but those all went to those units who would see action.

The buttstock itself, no. Unless it's old stock, I believe all modern Colt A2 buttstocks come with plastic trap doors. I can't tell a single difference between the Colt and PSA buttstocks I have used.

The rifle receiver extension should be gray in color versus black as supplied by every other company that I've seen.

The A2 spacer should be white/cream in color.

Buffer and spring, no clue. As long as the buffer is the proper weight (5.1oz. I believe), I wouldn't worry about it.

Lastly, the buttstock screw should have a red nylock patch on it.

Well, the screw does have that red stuff on it, but the buffer tube and A2 spacer are both black.

I have a legitimate Colt SPII buttstock from 1985 from a donor rifle. The spacer is gray on mine. there is red loctite. I have noticed without oil the stock will become an "ashy" feeling and very light gray but the butt will remain black

I've had my PSA CHF 20" rifle kit in for a week or so, but I haven't taken it to the range. What's the best way/distance to zero the carry handle to have the flattest trajectory with 55gr ball?

Attached File

I assembled it with an Aero M16A4 lower, and I supplemented the kit with a GI carry handle and some surplus A2 handguards. I have a GI side sling swivel that I've been considering adding, too, but I think I'll save that until I eventually acquire an M5 RAS and ACOG.

I'm kind of bummed that the barrel doesn't have that slight relief cut on the last 1/2" of muzzle end before the threads, but I'll get over it.

A couple years ago I picked up some GDI R-com E model quick release ACOG mounts when they were on sale for like $39. They have an NSN on them and I could swear I’ve seen pics of USMC with them.

Same here, I use this mount on 2 of my ACOG equipped rifles (coincidentally an M16A4 clone with a TA31RCO-M150 and an M4 clone with a TA01NSN). I've been super happy with them and I consider them clone-correct. Both mentioned rifles also have KAC rear sights, and this combo allowed for the most rearward location of the ACOG which is kinda important to me considering their (lack of) eye relief.

They're hard to find, but the original LaRue contract mounts (2005, 2006 ish?) were the LT622 SDO. They have two levers on the ejection port side, that stick out a bit further than modern LaRue mounts.

They're super cool for a USMC clone.
