My adventures from the first post was I got rid of the clunky Shlubmaster with silly stuff hanging off it and ended up with a Colt 6940. Although not the specific M4 that was recommended to me at the time, it was considered a big improvement and got general thumbs up from the M4C BTDT types.
Due to where I live and some other factors, choices can be very limited, and that was before the current panic buying.
Since then I have shot it with the iron sites and approx 3k rnds though it usually at 100 yards or less. Zero malfunctions or problems. Range time, courses, etc have been handgun oriented for me, so M4 is a secondary platform to me as a civi and does not get range love as it should and is not an area of expertise for me, so I rely on M4C for most of my info and advice.
Current costs in ammo, etc, has only hurt there too. When I have more time and $$$, I plan to get some courses done.
I decided it was time for an optic, and went with the Aimpoint Patrol Optic. It was not my first choice, but I know it's not a bad choice, and deal offered for it too good to pass up. Have not had chance to zero it yet, but red dot sits just above front site as is.
Only things added were the Magpul AFG and magwell grip.
I know I know, magwell grip is no bueno. Is another of those things that was given to me to try by a vendor, so on there right now to play with. I know that grip is not considered GTG by most modern trainers. Only thing I can say is, that one is beveled and acts like a magwell on a pistol making mag inserts faster perhaps, but it's on there right now for sh*%s and giggles and probably will not remain.
The AFG does not seem to work all the great due to how short the rail is on the Colt. It's comfortable enough, but to get the arm out there and the leverage, I'm thinking a VFG (or something else?) out as far as I can get it without my support hand coming in contact with the barrel might be the way to go.
Feedback, thoughts, recs, (and usual ball busting...)?
