Anybody have pics of this rig without the crap photobucket watermarks? I don't know why people still use PB.
Anyways I believe there is one or two more photos of it floating around. Attached File |

I think I might be crazy.
I'm considering chopping .750" off the front of a RIS II so I can install a 12.5" barrel. Poor man's GL/SSC, kind of like the Poor Man's MK18 RIS II FSP. I've never seen this done. Two things holding me back. 1. Chopping a $450 rail. Definitely won't be worth that much after. 2. Structural integrity after losing the loop at the front of the rail. I do have an M203 and want it to be durable with it mounted and dismounted. Here's where I'd chop. I already made sure it isn't going through anything critical and would look decent.

I think if you have an M203, I wish I was your neighbor.
I have a tendency to use bipods as fore grips and drive them into barricades for support pretty hard. I would be concerned about the structural integrity of the bottom of the DD rail after cutting off the front connector, especially after seeing some of the earlier issues with the DD rail. Caveated that have no basis for my opinion. |

However, with a SOPMOD stock the cheek weld area is wide enough that it physically prevents the QD swivel from rotating completely around. |

I'm certain that Big Army and Navy have their own processes, and that SOCOM, SEALs and other organizations have their own, but it's my understanding that as far as these "Bigs" are concerned, as long as the lower is accounted for, they don't officially give a hill of beans what name is engraved on any particular lower. Anyway, I've gotten from your posts that in your experience, you generally see this or that type of lower with this or that configuration - like the early SOCOM guns being M4A1s from the 90s, NSW guns having particular lowers, and so on. Am I correct in my thought that what actual units are issuing and actual troops are using may vary substantially from "what was originally fielded" with various units/organizations/etc.? Essentially, would it be true that "frankenguns" are in the field, with X lower, Y upper, Z muzzle device, and ABC furniture? And maybe there are quite a lot of "frankenguns" in some organizations, versus more rank-and-file units having more consistent configurations? SOCOM uses primarily the M4A1 lower. These were issued as basic carbines back in the mid 90s and then issued out SOPMOD Block 1 items, later Block II and URGI. The Army still tracks them as M4A1 carbines and units are supposed to keep standard handguards, barrels, etc to return to mother Army as she issued it. NSW may line out M4A1 and restamp as Mk18 Mod 0 or Mk18 Mod 1. So, yes you can say they are "Frankenguns" as upper is rebuilt to current configuration and uses the same lower. CD In the regular Army quite a few are remarked M4A1 as well, here is what they look like(80% lower of mine). https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/20856/E03137A8-7DB2-4120-AD29-1CF6AD6FBB6F-1110709.jpg There wouldn't be a Block II URG on one of those lowers. |
