Frangible Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Here's a quick pic (I hope) of my M4 variant with the TA01 in the carry handle. Photography is not my forte! Cheers F Link to post Share on other sites

Diemaco Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Just been watching SWAT, but the ACOGs on the M4s are bolted strait on the carry handle, and I was wondering both if this is possible for the 4x32 ACOG NSN replica, and if it can go on (like in the movie) a TM M733 with a HurricanE metal body? Edited for spelling <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bet you were watchin it on sky, the M4s on that film look mighty fine Link to post Share on other sites
Issanhaven Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Nope, I own it! Its a really cool movie... one of my favourites... and i am in NZ so whats on in the UK will probably be different! Link to post Share on other sites
Frangible Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Total un-related aside here but I can't watch the guy who's playing Colin Farrel.. off-screen, on-screen.. he just annoys the ar$e off me!! Cheers F Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 You mean played by Colin Farrel? Link to post Share on other sites
Frangible Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 You mean played by Colin Farrel? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope, I did actually mean the guy who plays Colin Farrel... meaning he's acting all the time, playing Colin Farrel.. It's probably best to ignore me, anyone who is 1) Better looking 2) More successful 3) Richer than I am always annoys me and because all three are very easy to achieve I'm constantly in a state of perpetual anger.. However, once I become Galactic Emperor Frangible I then a lot of people are going to have to watch-out!! Cheers F Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Ah, I get the joke now. I wonder how he did in Phonebooth then. Anyway, now that my posts aren't totally off topic, the ACOGs in SWAT are mini-ACOGs. Link to post Share on other sites
Frangible Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Ah, I get the joke now. I wonder how he did in Phonebooth then. Actually, much to my annoyance, he was pretty good.. I think he's better on-screen than off. Anyway, now that my posts aren't totally off topic, the ACOGs in SWAT are mini-ACOGs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I was recently told by a seller that a mini-ACOG is in the works from (I think) G&P but obviously can't swear that's true.. But it's kinda back on topic.. Cheers F Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFeather Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Wish i could have gotten a better picture. No worries the ACOG was removed from the rifle for the picture. Link to post Share on other sites
Cinder Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Wish i could have gotten a better picture. No worries the ACOG was removed from the rifle for the picture. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That a G&P ACOG? I thought they had a simple (^) marker redicle........ Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFeather Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Yeah its a GP NSN ACOG. I think its the other version GP makes that has the simple marker that you are talking about. Link to post Share on other sites
Frangible Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Yeah the NSN has the cross-hair and the TA11 has the arrow reticle Cheers F Link to post Share on other sites
squarepusher Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I assume the big painted reticule wasn't their in real life. I'd let you off if it was. Link to post Share on other sites

doc_newstead Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I like ACOG's. But I want an ELCAN. And I'm thinking about getting an EOTech. Bah. It always amazes me how the ACOG's look so much bigger in real life. I was bogging at one in A2, and I thought it was some kind of comedy, scaled-up display model. Question; why when I see an ACOG on an AR-15 forum, it has that brightly-coloured tube running up the back of it? Link to post Share on other sites
Ou811 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Its some type of fiber optic that absorbs light to help light the reticle in the dark Link to post Share on other sites
DanishFrogman Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I've sent mails to G&P beggin them to make an ACOG Compact! Im hoping they'll do it! Would be great! Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 When I say "an AR-15 forum", I mean AR15.com I have to say, I don't particularly like the look of that bright yellow optic, practical or not. And considering it would be for show on an airsoft rifle, I say more more power to these GP models. Link to post Share on other sites
Ou811 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Usually its red, I think its the compact one that has the yellow optic. Link to post Share on other sites

And considering it would be for show on an airsoft rifle, I say more more power to these GP models. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the TA01 NSN, the real one, doesn't have the fiber optic on the top either, so G&P replicated that one, like it is supposed to be. I think that's also the reason why they don't make a TA31, because they couldn't make the fiber optic actually work, so they just leave it alone. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 But they also made the TA11 model which does have a fake fiber optic running up the spine. Link to post Share on other sites

Would be great! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> According to a UK retailer I spoke to about 4-6 weeks ago there was a compact in the works by someone, possibly G&P.. I wish they'd make a TA31 too..
