Jagdraben Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Ditto what wayne said. Also have fun identifying this upper, guys. Did I ID it in the firearms thread? If I did, I won't guess it, here. (A PM'd answer will suffice.) Edited August 6, 2009 by Jagdraben Link to post Share on other sites
Wayneard3413 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Ohh Ohh pick me Mr Kotter haha Seriously though guys, I have been running a RCS holster for quite awhile now and I honestly will not trust my life to anything else as far as concealment holsters go Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have an RCS and I like it. But I wouldn't go as far in my praise as Wayne. Link to post Share on other sites
talon_0315 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 USCM, the thing is, flip up sights can brake, see my SR-15 for example. There's something inherently simple and useful about A2 FSBs. They're not obtrusive and they don't break. I agree about the A2 sights' practicality. I just wish the front sight was shaped like the Troy front half-circle sight. The Troy's sight picture is one of two reasons why I'd use the flip-up BUIS. Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Did I ID it in the firearms thread? I'm pretty sure you did. There's been talk (internet articles, forum threads, radio discussions) about S&W releasing a AR of that nature. -Vic Edited August 6, 2009 by Victory Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) All Jag said was .22, and that's plainly obvious by the ejection port. But it's an S&W .22 SBR upper. One of only a couple made by S&W, one of which Travis has for T&E. He actually asked for a photo just so he could send to S&W to prove he was testing it. With the AAC Pilot suppressor that thing was damn near on 'Whisper Mode' Edited August 6, 2009 by Titleist Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 What I said an what I guessed are two different things. In fact... I'm not really sure who else really does turn out a true .22 LR AR-15-type-ish rifle other than Smith & Wesson. Yes, there are conversion bolts, but not that many uppers or complete guns. (As an aside, the magazine and ejection port reek of S&W's M&P15-22. And it's on the cover of the latter-half-of-2009 Smith & Wesson catalog that I only see at work about four days a week.)

Titleist Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yep, it's a custom M&P15-22. It was a very neat upper. I may snag one for dicking around eventually since I was smart enough to put 5.45, .22, .45, and 9mm on my ATF paperwork for my SBR calibers. Again, it was a really neat upper. He ran that most of day 2 and 3. With the M&P 14.5" on day 1. That surefire muzzle brake is a beast. Since I have to get in at least one photo of me with Travis: Link to post Share on other sites

gerrysnaps Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Now that I see more of Haley's .22 I see the build I did for my brother has only a little in common with it! Some quick snaps for the pic thread: Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 What kind of paint did you use on the Colt? Very nicely done, Gerry. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites

darkhold Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Ork green? I know , right? I guess he really likes his green... not my cup o' tea though. Nice builds... what type of rail system is that on the colt, Gerry? Edited August 7, 2009 by darkhold Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Ork green? With functionality, the green color beats black. That's for sure. With form, some might not like the look. That's for sure. I do like the look, though. That's for sure. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
gerrysnaps Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 @Victory Thanks, it's RJ London spray paint, color is Bosny Army Green! And if the shade surprises you, you should see our M249 PARA done up in that. It's on my to-do to get a pic of that. @darkhold The rail system on the Colt is JG's replica of the Troy MRF-MX. Unfortunately the rail is out of spec (too little space on the gaps as I discovered attaching the Magpul XTM rail panels, and too long versus the real one or even King Arms' copy).

uscmCorps Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Whoa! That sucka is GREEN! Looks great dude. I really like the layout of that AR, just the bare necessities and yet what is there is well thought out. Well done! Actually both ARs look great (lol, the green kinda took over the shot). I'd happily use either one of those in a skirmish. Kudos to you! Link to post Share on other sites
Roecar Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The green shade is actually perfect for Philippine jungles. Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan452 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 We can't just call it "green" we gotta give it some tacticool name. You don't see brown being called brown, we call it coyote brown, its got a ring to it. Foilage green was taken so we can't call it that, how about how about we term it Matte Dark Jungle, MDJ. Its matte, its dark, and it resemble philipine jungles. Excellent name, what do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites
gerrysnaps Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks everyone on the kind words! To everyone who thinks Bosny Army Green is a little odd, you ought to see what they call Earth Brown. I shall not inflict this upon those who do not want their eyes gouged. If you are brave, you can head over to our Flickr photostream and look for it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cto-overwatch/ @Spartan452 If MDJ doesn't catch on it'll end up being called Airsoft Green!

-=OGGY=- Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Is Magpul stuff ever used in the military? (mostly wondering about stocks and grips) Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Yes, generally PMAGs, CTRs, and Magpuls. Link to post Share on other sites
-=OGGY=- Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Excellent; I'm thinking about a 'mil-spec' build but I definatley want to include some magpul. Are any MIAD's used? Link to post Share on other sites
