CAR15 handguards here. CAR15 on M16A1 lower belong to SEAL Tm 2 in Scotland 89' Attached File Attached File M4 Oval handguards in next text below. |

When I left for the O&I course in Jan 95', we still had our M16A2s. 5th SFGA got them in Feb-Mar 95'. M4A1 in Jordan Aug 95'. Sling attached to side sling swivel.

Kick! My clone of my Iraq rifle. Apart from a third pin, pinned flash hider, and an N1 stock, that’s what I hauled around upon arriving at the unit to when I turned it back in after getting off the plane at Ft. Benning before reuniting with the family. I would have bought that old rifle (W0105xx with a barrel from the mid-90s) in a heartbeat of they’d let me.

Your painted rifle is ugly, but I’m uglier, so send it to me and I’ll make it look good!

Did a few changes, mainly the RMR to an offset instead of on top of the ACOG. Using head gear and the ACOG, with the RMR on top, the headgear would impact the RMR. Attached File |
