    What, no Marines here?

    Throw an ACOG on that bish. Aimpoints are for 300m Army play toys.

    Colt 6920. TA31RCOM4. ATPIAL-C. 3pt Sling.

    Close enough to this POS.

    I sold that rifle, because I was a man and had an A4, but that's the route you need to go.

    So all you have is an A4 now?
    I remember your A4 thread

    Hell I'm surprised he has an M4! That Jarhead rifle > carbine is hard to shake!

    I shouldn't poke fun as my issue weapon as an Army grunt 30 years ago was an M16A1. I have a clone with an A1 profile, 20" chrome lined barrel on it with a 1:7 twist. Best of both worlds: light and relatively handy for a full-sized AR yet still able to shoot the newer, heavier, superior stuff (from a ballistic point of view).

    DVIDS can probably help.

    I'll add that in the Air Force we had brand-new M4s being issued with Aimpoint CompM4 and CompM4S sights, grip-pod VFGs (which the bipod always ended up busted sooner rather than later) and Insight flashlights identical to those from the SOPMOD Block II program except they were black. Some rifles had PEQ-15s and the dual remote switch and some did not. The rest was standard Army M4, 14.5" barrel, KAC rail and rail covers, M4 stock, Matech rear sight, and 3-round burst selectors. I was CE so we had all-new guns but I worked with security forces almost every day and if they didn't have new M4s they had older ones with the Aimpoint CompM2/M68 CCO sight, worn-out Matech rear BUIS that popped up when firing, PEQ-2As, and Surefire M951 flashlights. Some had the newer Insight lights, and some had M203s.

    If I were to build one like an Army carbine I would use:
    14.5 M4 barrel with a Surefire FH/suppressor mount
    12" RIS II
    Insight M3X or WMX200 light and PEQ15
    Elcan Spectre DR

    I have an older LE6920 set up much the same way using the TA31RCOM4.

    I'm not sure if it has been brought up yet, but I would reach out to Ken from Specialized Armament to set you up. I went to him to have a Colt M4 clone setup exactly like the one I carried in Afghanistan. Right now it looks like he is offering a package to reconfigure a customer provided colt 6920 into an m4 clone.

    I swapped out the 16" M4 barrel for the 14.5 SOCOM and shot it this weekend using the KAC 600 meter rear sight. Once I got it sighted in, I had no problems making hits out to 300 yards. Short version, I like it better than the 16"barrel. The SOCOM barrel and the KAC sight are keepers

    P.S. Both the 16" and 14.5" barrels are a little more than a quarter of an inch longer than advertised
