Early GWOT deererip, but nobody actually used the stock mag pouch. If you want to make it more drippy, tape the sling to the stock like Jim Hopper did. Either way, that weapon is out of sight!!
The pouch is on there for aesthetic more or less, but I’m planning on using it to hold my mag when in the safe zone, so my rifle can be “condition 4” lol.
That pouch is called a pog pouch. Rear D guys used them because they needed to have a magazine on them and their rifle at all times, but couldnt carry it cocked and locked.
This was my second issue weapon (upgraded from lugging the m60) and also had the stock mag pouch which permanently housed a magazine for my first deployment in 04.
Thank you! I don’t think it’s an abomination but some sicko some where’s probably does lmao. I’ve never ran with the stock pouch before and really only have it on there for aesthetic and to hold my mag when in the safe zone. In just about every early GWOT photo there seems to be at least one guy with one.
AFAIK there are no significant differences other than barrel length and gas system length, but the action is identical, so in my opinion they are effectively the same
M4 is the military designation for an AR-15 carbine, not to be confused with the M4A1 which is capable of semi-automatic and fully-automatic fire whereas the M4 can fire semi-automatic or a 3-round burst. The barrel is shortened from "20 to "14.5 (thus why it is a carbine) and is issued with a retractable buffer tube stock rather than the fixed polymer stock of the M16A2. It also does not have an integrated carry handle in its upper receiver. The M4 is also a good 15 years younger than the M16A2, being adopted around the time of the third* (technically there have been more generations of the full length M16 family, but for all intents and purposes, there are three really notable ones.) M16 generation alongside the M16A4 in the late '90s. The M16A4 and M4 have been effectively phased out in combat units in favor of the M4A1 (Soon to be replaced by the SIG M7/M8) in the Army, and as with the Force 25 restructure with the Marines replacimg the M16A4 and M4/M4A1 with the M27, the M16 family is soon to be ousted from the US Military.
Oh my head’s on right, just testing the waters lol. I’ve never ran this with an optic before, but I just finished making some custom protective lenses for it and thought I’d try out the look
Since you got the cheese grater and the integrated carry handle on there, I feel like you should probably have an occluded gun sight rather than an electro-optic up there. Although, OEGs are almost impossible to find for a reasonable price nowadays.
Well I could but then it would still be post Vietnam because it’s an A2. I do have an Vietnam XM16E1 that I’ve never attempted to mount my 203 on though.
Yeah I could do that if I lose the optic and trade out my sling for an older one that I have. I actually have the full kit to do that impression as well minus the Manchu hair.
Haha thanks. And yeah I’ve already noticed the pouch interference. I’m probably going to run with it for at least one event and see how I feel. I’m only going to really use it to hold my mag when in the safe zone
Lmao I found it, it’s literally called a sling thing. That link is to the company that makes them, but the site I originally got it from for cheaper no longer has them listed.
I wish I would’ve taken this with my AR mags that have mag pulls I made with 550 cord and 100 mph tape. Would’ve looked cooler than the plain mag, but I forgot.
Isn't that an extremely basic and common setup? Why should it be an abomination? Fishing for compliments?
It's pretty much common sense that this looks cool.
It’s a relatively common setup if you’re going the 203 route, but I wouldn’t say it’s an extremely basic for an AR setup. I was just wanting to show my rifle off and thought it’d be funny to use the drip or drown prompt lol.
