Your 16 is sweet Joe! Very nice. Your ACOG is far enough forward to have that BUIS on there, mine is all the way to the back, last slot. Also, the ACOG I have can't 'fail' (the replica one) as it has no power or illumination like the real one. Now, were it the firearm counterpart, I could see a slight reason for the BUIS, but the ACOG would need a QD base, which you can get but they're a tad pricey.

There's still no real purpose to that other than to be tacti-'cool' which asserts no emphasis with me. You'd have to remove the ACOG to use it. I can see the practical purpose of one on an M4 co-witnessing with a red dot but not an M16 with a magnifying scope. If looks over-ride practicality, then one may choose to configure a BUIS under an ACOG. Whatever floats the boat I suppose.

It's actually a really light grey but it does appear OD in pics. I also got another black one today (King Arms PA66) and just installed it.: (click to enlarge)

Thanks Sgt. Indeed, Marines don't use a BUIS. The ACOG only has about 2.5" to 3" max eye relief so it sits at the far back of the rail anyway. There's no room for a BUIS, not to mention... what good is a BUIS behind an ACOG anyway? You'd have to take the ACOG off to use it. LOL

I got the G&P TA31 ACOG today so I snapped some pics. (all link to 1600 x 1200px images) It also snaps into the carry handle nicely: For those wondering about the reticle (The oranges are about 80-90 feet away):

Thanks Joe, looking forward to pics of your gun.

Actually, my M16A4 MWS wouldn't be a very accurate replica without the M5 RAS would it? It's hardly 'R@ping' the gun. The rail system does have a practical purpose. Notice there aren't a ton of accessories, I just like the bulky feel of the RAS with the covers on it. It's thicker than the stock hand guards, and with my big hands, it suits me better. I have an A2 that replicates the A2 I carried in the Corps, but it feels tiny in my hands. On another note, 5-2-1, that 203 makes the gun look severely 'toyish'. Nice gun, but to coin your colloquialism: 'why all the paint'?

Just added the FN body and KA Stock. Sorry for the low light images, I'll get better ones next time. (Images link to 1600x1200).

Pretty G&P minAmmo. Love the pic Wrangler, nice looking gun.

Nice gun Drake. It definitely caught my eye.

As much as I like what you're saying Bella, SAWs aren't compact. He wants those features in a compact gun.

It's basically a neo-patriot sort of thing, right? It'd be nice to see it with just a buffer tube and maybe an Eotech.

I agree Milla. Semper Fi bro.

I don't get it really. I don't think that they look so terrible on the side. It's no more offensive than on the top really. Not to mention, though I have seen a few located on the top rail of firearms, PEQs that I have seen are predominantly located on the side rail of the firearm opposite of the shooter. And really, that would seem to be the optimal placement as to keep from obscuring a larger part of the shooter's FOV, especially on a gun where the carry handle is still being utilized.

I like the NSN model ACOG on the gun. It'd be even better if it were a magnifying optic rather than a red dot. The battery access gives it away. Other than that, nice looking gun.

Actually, CQBR stands for Close Quarter Battle Receiver. But yes it's basically an M4 with or without rails with the Commando length (10.3") barrel.

Love the SPRA! And your Zombie Killer loadout is awesome, love it.

Great, one RAS basher and here come the purists. This thread just lost it's flavor.

Nice gun, but that wasn't very polite. Way to poop on everyone's RASs and 'stuff'.

Very nice CQBR Hispeed. Clean and functional.

This IS a picture thread after all. I was getting tired of all the chatter coming to my inbox. MORE PICS OF ARs!

Souske: Yeah, I have a G&P replica also. dismembered: Thanks, I don't think I've seen one set up like mine before either, which I find a bit surprising since it's such a simple set-up.

That's a real one. Very used, but real.

Actually, that's a real AP CompM2 4MOA that I bought off of a friend of mine that was tired of it and bought an Eotech. It's normally on my M&P 15 but I had to use it for these pics as I don't know when I'll get more. I wont tell you how cheap I got it for, you guys would hunt me down, LOL. Thank you! I'm definitely trying to stay simple with any configuration I use

Got a few new pics. These link to 1600 x 1200 images:
