Okay for those who knwo me - realise that I am not exactly a fan of DS and his stuff – and I think the Mk12/SPR Mod0 was a pox aflicted upon units due to some C. Reed Knight II illwill (yes the F you we will use an inferior product to show you syndrome)
I finally decided to toss the PRI and ARMS stuff – and give it some Larue love.
Diemaco upper
Kreiger CLE done SPR clone barrel
Larue 12.0
Larue Gas Block
Troy front and Rear BIS
Very nice my friend. I agree with your point about DS. SOCOM is wrapped around his little finger and the guys in the field end up paying the price (with crappy gear).
Pretty cool. So where did you get your patches at? And is that a eagle CIRAS (what version) you HSLD guys get all the good stuff. If I werent a complete tight wad I could have some nice toys as well.
Honsetly I’ve never had good luck with the O version stuff
We tried a 20" with a PRI - but the tube kept coming loose and this ones twin with a PRI gasblock front sight became a single shot at the 2003 Sniper competition in Benning
My Mk12 uppers old look
Never had good luck with DS’s stuff either
A bro’s recce on an A1 lower
For rails I am sold on the KAC URX II (or III) – with the Larue versions as my #2 since KAC is holding on with a death grip to the URX’s
Well,… honestly, I have carried THAT SPR from 'astan to Iraq and have never experianced the tube or anything coming loose. But I will help you yet you crazy k’nuck. Here in America we have an amazing invention called “Loc-Tite”. I’ll send you some LOL. I’ll write more later but when I get full use of my other arm. Funny ho metal turns up in the darndest body parts
The REAL mystery is HOW he kept all the print from rubbing off the Eagle Tag and has kept it all (Even the shmag which in my kit doubles as a hanky) in such pristine condition.
I think mine looked that good for about five minutes until I went out the wire and sweat in it.
Picky picky – I got the CIRAS after I came home – I ran a RAV overseas.
I lost my green/black shmeg - the tablecloth colored on came off something I had initally bought the GF.
I’ve been out more than a year – and if you thought that one was welfare.
Check out the C7CT that eventually we did get issued
You know… That pic reminds me of an upper 3rd ID was running. Basically a $300 Bull Barrel Upper with a $90 scope. Was that PEQ mount just sorta “Screwed on”
Brother… I owe you a beer, a bargin basement PSD crew is always a sad sight. Remeinds me of my days in the Corps. Which is the excuse I use for scrounging EVERYTHING now.
One pic was me on the US Embassy ERT in Kabul – the other stuff is Cdn mil
The C7CT was Diemaco’s elcheapo SPR system. My old WO put an article in SOF with one of those pics.
No idea who made the freefloat tube - it was solid alum and had three chuncks of M1913 rail on it – just sorts Diemaco 1:7 Bull barrel and hacked gas block that had a lever for “single shot” – how assinine IMHO.
Shot about as well as a rack grade gun - despite the KAC trigger
They got discontinued thank god.
Sorry to say brother but for some it seems that the bean counters end up deciding what is best sometimes. And this appears to be what happened to you and your buddies. One day I hope we can hook up (Tell me what toys to bring) have a few beers and BS about the shopping on Chicken Street or Food revues about the Kunduz Restaurant.
I’ll chat later but right now the pain meds are creeping up.
Funny, first thanksgiving home in 6 years and it is convalescence leave LOL
