[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Weapon Update From Iraq

Posted: 9/4/2004 8:34:21 AM EDT

I saw a Custer Battles PSD guy today and he was carrying a Double Star Arms AR15 (JT). The logo is what caught my eye. He didn't stay long enough for me to get a photo but it looked new. Had a 14.5" barrel with a mini "Y" comp type FS/MB on the end with the older, short type collapsible butt stock and an ACOG TA31 mounted on the A2 upper receiver.

He was riding around in a Suburban with a bunch of Kurdish PSD guys.

Personnel Security Detail. These are the guys doing what we call "Run and Gun". They provide security for the civilian contractors over here.

He missed a turn and ended up at our front gate asking for directionsw. I asked him if he was loosing cool points cause he was lost and he said "No, I'm not with Blackwater"! Ouch, what a slap in the face to BW.

I successfully refrained from saying that...though GOD the temptation was strong.

JT has been making a BUNCH of guns that are going over there.

And as far as Custer's people. At least they are there doing the fucking job, or trying in this case. LOL

TC,

Got some guys here that are passing thru that have Bushmaster M4A1s with Trijicon Reflex sights. Our M4A1s are all Colts. Do have some attachments to use from the USAF and USN that have Colt M16A2.

Every M4 and M16A2 in my battalion is a Colt. I think we have the last of the Colts has most units stateside have FN M16A2s.
