"In military terminology, a chalk is a group of paratroopers or other soldiers that deploy from a single aircraft. A chalk often corresponds to a platoon-sized unit for air assault operations, or a company-minus-sized organization for airborne operations. For air transport operations, it can consist of up to a company-plus-sized unit. Oftentimes, a load of paratroopers in one aircraft, prepared for a drop, is also referred to as a stick."

I would most definitely be in for some for a couple of my rifles as well as for my Sig MK25
We give where we can, right? Since I don't have The Stuff to be a trigger-pulling door-kicker and talk from field experience, what I *do* have to offer is research skill, time and effort. I actually have an idea I'm thinking about pitching to Admin someday about an "M4 Config Database and Clone Cookbook"... the idea being catalog each M16/M4 variant by NSN, then catalog the components and accessories each was built from and kitted out with, and finally for the cloners listing the commercial model-numbers and for Unobtainium like those neat DD FSB-slotted rails for the Mk18, GL/SSC and M4 SOPMOD-II some "look pretty close" alternates for "___ Inspired" builds. (For example, while I'd like to build a pistol version of an NCIS-issue Mk18, most of the FSB handguard options are unavailable, so I'm looking at improvising with the clearancing-as-discontinued VULTOR CASV based on the EOD version. How hard can it be to slap some FDE Duracoat on top of factory Foliage Green? And while not a perfect match, Midwest has a quad that could be called "GL/SSC or SOPMOD-II inspired," so if they could cut that down at the end of the FSB slot I'd have my "Mk 18-inspired Pistol" handguard.)
