How about we start our new A2 Rifle forum with a photo thread? (Page 38 of 40)
Updated 733-ish pistol: Originally featured on page 34 of the thread with an SB15 brace, she now sports the H&R CAR-style brace. Major improvement, IMHO... |

Familiarity and prolonged exposure without incident leads to a loss of appreciation of risk.

Finally got my Retro Midlength setup and zeroed at 50 yards. It's light and quick handling. It wasn't difficult getting used to the chin weld and high mounted Aimpoint. I built it with plans on painting it but I keep going back and forth with leaving black or painting it,,,

It’s the one with the odd looking A1 stock. Built it up for my Dad and just got it back since he passed away. Not hardcore clone correct, but I’ll take it.

Bought this cheap (to me, sub-$400), scratched LE-trade Bushmaster, mostly because of the A2 upper and P&W 14.5" bbl with YHM Phantom. Attached File A little steel wool, some CLP and a cheap gun show furniture set brought it to this point. Attached File |

I figured as much but it was a long day yesterday Meprolight still has some in stock because I looked for one for my 12.5 like two nights ago. Pictured optic is NOT a Mepro M21, it is a Trijicon RX01NSN. It's smaller and lighter than the M21(I have/use both). My RX01 is on a early GWOT A4 clone, as far as I know they've been out of production for some time. I picked one up about 10 years ago that was surplused for $109 w/carry handle mount. It was Recoil Gun Works i think Attached File Marine on the left has one on his A2, pic is from Monrovia ~2003 Attached File More Marines with RX01NSN equipped A2s from '02-03 Attached File Quick comparison pic, M21 above, RX01NSN mounted to A4 Attached File Attached File Detail of NSN casting Attached File |

The cover for that had an A2 broken open like that with the tags, magazine, BCG, and a KaBar rather than an M9 on it. ETA: the T2K series was published in the mid 80s I believe. |
