Great Job on the video.  Liked hearing your perspective on what actually made it to the team level.  Probably got taken by guys in the supply chain wanting cool stuff.  I was in Hawijah Sep-Oct 1995.

Pretty much on the mark.  I had a TA01NSN when we went to Haiti fall of 95', only had a few of the KAC suppressors on my mounted detachment in 99-00'.  Stuff was pieced mealed to us.  I never liked the Tijicon Relfex as stated the amber triangle was hard to see in bright light.  Never used that flashlight in the beginning either.  Took a year or two to get the RIS handguards.

I remember 1/5th all got M68s by 99' also.  Would depend on the battalion at the time.

I was hoping for your input since you were in 5th SFG before me.
I can only go off what I remember the ODA 531 guys telling me since
I was not in Grp when SOPMOD first hit.

What is the model name/# of your Comp M2 mounts? My Google powers apparently suck… I am searching QRP, but coming up with all kinds of mounts (and many appear to be mislabeled).

I have a Wilcox mount on my Mk18 Mod 0 clone, but I’d like to move my Comp M2 to one of my Block I M4s. While page 1 of this thread states that the Willcox mount is the proper Block I accessory (and is shown in the pic at the top of page1), I realize that’s mainly for NSW rifles and most of my M4 clones are USMC & ARMY configurations.

I am guessing the mounts in your photos are probably more plentiful and much easier to find than my Wilcox mount, but I want to make sure I’m looking for the right thing. Thanks in advance.

There is a detailed comparison of the 1st few versions of the Aimpoint QRP Mount in page 169 on this thread and also in page 166.
As described in page 169, I think I have the Comp M2 Rev 2 QRP mount as I have the cutout on the top of the base.

I've seen these mounts pop up from time to time in the Equipment Exchange but it might be hard to find somewhere else...

Thanks for the detailed info & and references. I got my Wilcox mount here on the EE and intend to do the same when I find the correct QRP. Trying to figure out the best one for a USMC Block 1 or 1.5/PR …

USMC Block 1 is gonna be pretty hard/ interesting/ not as clear as the other branch's. Other can probably better speak on it, but they didn't have a SOCOM element until DET1. Then MARSOC was founded in 2006, and by that time Block II/ fielding replacements  was starting up. There first deployment was in 2007 I believe.

That first photo has really gotten my attention. I have only seen the Surefire IMPL on the Kimber ICQB, not the MEUSOC.

I just happen to have an IMPL and a MEUSOC build. I was going to build an ICQB clone but now my gears are turning on adding it to my MEUSOC.

Do you happen to have any other photos of a MEUSOC with the IMPL?

***ETA - Disregard, on second look I'm pretty sure that's a Kimber in the photo with pachymar grips.

Interesting. I never knew a Kimber .45 was issued to US SOCOM. Hell, I think I like mine even more now (I have a couple). I still carry my full size Classic Stainless pretty often. She’s hefty, but she’s been with me over 20 years and I shoot her better than any other pistol I have.

Not to socom, but to specifically for DET-1. It was just a marine thing just like allot of their equipment. They had some unique setups.

That pig has to be heavy. I think I'd carry the S.A.W. We got issued new M4s to replace the M16s. My squad leader said I could have one but would still have to keep the saw in the truck. I just kept the SAW and put the eotech from the M4 on it.

QRP 2 is what you seek.


There was a guy on eBay selling real Aimpoint M68's for dirt cheap quite a few years back, I bought 4, sold 2, then bought 4 more. All the mounts were either QRP2 or ARMS M68 #17 mounts, I'm pretty certain the seller got them off the back of a Military truck so to speak. That being said I don't recall ever reading that ARMS M68 mounts were prevalent for the M4, I always mainly saw Wilcox or QRP2 mounts mentioned.

Looks good. Congrats on the rail if you’ve been trying to get it a while.

You’re planning to rattle your covers, but why not spray the whole rifle? Took me a while (a long while) before I got up the nerve to paint my first one, but I just finished my fourth last night and they all came out better than I’d expected.

I’m not going to go crazy and rattle everything I have, but it sure does work well on some of the clones in my collection.

Anyway, it’s your rifle and looks good as is, but I just thought I’d throw that out there.

Anyone have that picture of Travis Haley prone with his Force Recon M4/M203? I think it was when he was in Africa.

I’ve got a standard Colt M4 and M203 laying around and that rifle has always been grail gun. Gonna start buying old parts here and there.

Found the pic with some digging. Would appreciate knowledge about the ARMS riser and, I’m assuming, Aimpoint mount? I also assume his rifle would have the older RIS instead of the RAS(pic is from early 2000s. Don’t know when the RAS was introduced)?

The riser looks like the A.R.M.S. #38 Ex SWAN Sleeve but with a #40 rear sight instead of the current #40L. You could probably switch it out yourself. A.R.M.S. has the #38 in stock: http://armsmounts.com/shop/mounts/a-r-m-s-38-ex-swan-sleeve/

The Aimpoint mount is their #22M68 mount: http://armsmounts.com/shop/scope-rings/a-r-m-s-22m68-throw-lever-ring/

Thanks. Never been all that knowledgeable about the older stuff. It says that rear sight is built in so I need to track down an older one unless it’s removable?

Yeah I’ve read this many times. On his list of parts for his deployment rifle it says RAS. I’m assuming he’s talking about his clone of his deployment rifle? Was the RAS around by 2003?

Also noticing a lack of suppressor mounts on Recon M4s at that time. Looks like they just had the standard bird cages. Gotta swap back.

Anybody train, take classes with their clones? I think most here keep these in the safe. Pics?

I have done classes with my MK18 Mod 0. I haven't used my other clones yet because my local range had a fire with their air recycling system right before I finished them and they have not had any classes since. My MK18 is a lot of fun to use, I cannot wait until the NT4 clears

Was the ACOG TA01NSN still being used around the 2008 time-frame or do I need to go with a newer model?

Yes but was being phased out by the Elcan.

I recently got ahold of one of these lights setup for the Dawson rail. Just need to make a rail fit on my old-style SA dustcover.

Sure do. My M4 Block 1 before I found my Knight's rail and added the surefire 900.
It was so light & handy back then.

I’m installing a mk1 redi-mag right now. Holy shit I know why no one uses these anymore. Looks cool though.
