Guns Built For Combat - Show & Tell

Comps and quad rails………

2012 is like "don't forget about me, guys!"

I like my quad rail just in case I need to bolt more stuff to the gun, all needed for combat of course....

Leave quad rails alone. My SBR is rocking one. Haha. An old DD Omega X quad rail that I chopped with a bandsaw. lol.

I like the old cheese graters, even more I like the hybrid style like the new BCM Raider and Geissele MK4. The KAC URX 3.1 was ahead of its time.

I don't know man…. 5.56 has some heavy recoil.

After all, it's a "high caliber round" along with the infamous lung blower outter 9mm.

Nothin like all that "Tactical/Cool Guy Gear" hangin off a short and handy little Carbine to really boost your operatoring to top tier 1 status!






The more sh!t you add, the more your likely to snag, the more weight you gotta hrumph, and the more batteries that are gonna fail, not to mention the actual crap it's self is likely gonna fail right when you thought it would be neat-o to have aboard!

Here, Practical Tactical, the way god intended us to meet men in battle!

I personally wouldn't choose a ar15 for a combat rifle, but that's just me

cool.

The M16, CAR-15, M4s have been in combat in many different environments, since Vietnam.

It speaks to the basic layout and concept that the replacement (M27 IAR) in USMC is basically a short stroke piston AR.

The Sig MCX-SPEAR/M7 is also basically a piston AR10, or at the least, uses many parts of AR design lineage.

Indeed. A good number of gun owners are just loot drops, myself included

Yea but you have to work for that…. Like with blood, sweat and discomfort. You can't buy it and hang it on your wall.

Depends on how good a friend you are with a taxidermist and a plastic surgeon for the loose skin

Just cause your skinny doesn't mean you're fit.

Just cause you "big" doesn't mean your not....

 

[CamoDeafie]

The same is true for reverse, though far more fat people aren't fit either. But there are many fit, fat people..most often in Strongmen competitions, Sumo, and so on. Just that there's far more fat people who's not fit than skinny people who's not fit.

 

[1775usmc]

Never said it did. I knew big guys in the marines who had full blown belly's that could run for days.

I don't think said anything about body composition… people just assume when you say unfit you're talking about fat.

AI told me to say it......its always right!

This is latest one that I haven't finished yet... @Tlock will carry it for me.

... LMT MARS-H 7.62 with a 13.5" barrel pinned, alt-barrel is a 20" 6.5 CM. NF ATACR in a Spuhr mount. Not pictured is a Trijicon RMR. The Spuhr RMR interface/mount arrives tomorrow. It will sit on the forward ring cap. I have some MagPul 20 rd magazines and there are some Lancer 20 rd magazines inbound. I am on the waitlist for an Allen M24 suppressor that will require a taper machined into the 6.5 CM barrel profile, or a bushing installed. I have an Atlas PSR bipod that can be mounted if desired. Considering a DMR buttstock to pair with the 6.5 CM barrel.

Negatives: Weight, backup irons would be in a pouch, and gassy... and did I mention weight.

Weight is something to consider.
As well as balance / handiness ....
A well balanced rifle that weighs 8 pounds will feel , carry and maybe even shoot better than one that weighs the same but handles poorly.

Simple is also better , at least in my experience.
Less to lose , break or rely on.
You want your items to work...and work well , now.

Those SPR and DMR type ARs are just too much fun to shoot. Mine have more scope on them than the classic Mk12 type optics, but that rifle style shoots so much better than it seems they should. I'm sure mine could be effectively pressed into less pleasant use, if someone plunks a deserving and unaware target down in front of me…but a stripped down AR makes more sense for the misery of getting the heck outta Dodge, or staying put and having something handy if the brigands show up.

The primary objective should probably be to stay OUT of purse fights/gun fights/slap n tickle, IMHO. A 10/22 and a muzzle can, and a hidden pistol, seem more sensible in most civilian type disasters that I can envision.

I dunno.

Move light. Die heavy.

These posts remind me of the battle that I had with LWRC over the iron sights that the sent with my A6M2 rifle. I called them to complain about the poor quality of the rear sight. It was loose and would not snap into place - it wobbled. Although they did send me two new ones, they kept insisting that they were only back-up sights. I told them - NO, they were PRIMARY SIGHTS.

When I sight in a new rifle with iron sights, even though I planned on adding a scope, I always make sure that the iron sights were sighted in.

I now had two rear sights and they wanted me to send one back, so I took both apart, punching out the roll pins carefully, and assembled one good one and sent them a really bad one with dinged up roll pins. They charge $200 for a set of BUIS and expect you to be happy with a crappy one?
