Anyhow, I think I'm ready to come to the dark side and paint one of my clones. I'd like to do a 2 color paint scheme, maybe with a lighter tan underneath, and some kind of hex/mesh pattern of brown dots over that. Any specific advice on how to make that look clean? |

Tape of the important bits (glass/lenses), knock back a few brews until you say "fuck it", spray bomb that shit and go to bed or bang the old lady. Come back tomorrow sober and enjoy your new paint job. Trying to make it "perfect" never works out. |

Never heard of such an unrealistic thing. And can't not be done permanently anyway. Receiver with be drilled for the third pin ie auto sear pin. You would destroy the receiver permanently closing the pin hole and unauthorized. |

My tiny thumbs struggle getting the selector over to FRT mode with the large beaver tail on the Ergo grip. I’ve ordered flat top Ergos. Similarly, I prefer the ridged charging handle latch over the smooth one, so I’m substituting that as well. I want this gun to be as clone accurate as possible, but not at the expense of it being a rifle that I can manipulate effectively. Attached File |

Sometimes I wish I had got a flat top instead of a FSP. |

Anything else is usually just personal preference by the soldier. MARSOC seems to primarily stick to the A2 though, the marines are kinda strict about swapping components on rifles. |

Others are individual purchased. Thats the same for all units under SOCOM. Only difference between a MARSOC and others is using KAC NT4 FH/Suppressor and KAC USMC marked BUIS 600m. |

You would destroy the receiver permanently closing the pin hole and unauthorized. I shot a GM Hydramatic M16 at Camp Perry OH. small arms firing school around 1985 that had a block that interfered with the safety being moved to the full auto position. Just a piece of metal that was installed between the lower receiver and the grip that blocked the safety's travel. |
