Anybody have a broken/busted up real or airsoft PEQ-2 laying around and want to sell an adjuster guard so I can epoxy it on this?

Now your M4 is just way bulkier and heavier than a 203 equipped M4 with no noticeable difference in performance. Hated standalone too because when it’s not being used it’s on a sling banging all over the place while on patrol. Most guys just put them on their backs or on/in their rucks/assault packs. When it came time to use it you had to take off your shit or have someone else do it instead of just being ready to go, which is why most mounted them to their rifles. As a light infantryman, 203 was way better. |

I’m still waiting on some items over 2 weeks now. Long story short I ordered an A1 stock and the buttplate was cracked/broken, ordered a side sling swivel and it was the old .625 only model.

For some reason I had in my mind that it was right around the same time as waffle stock issue, (late '01-early '02)? I know that they were issued for a spell but didn't know that it was as late as 2011. Always thought those would have been the second gen without the fat body. |

He wanted a truck gun and picked up bits and pieces here and there over the years at yardsales and stuff and ended up with an identical setup. I think the only thing he bought at retail was an extended A2 flash hider. Including the CQ/T he's probably in it for less than $800 |
