    Holy Crap, is that a Vltor Receiver? Look at the QD Sling Mount, it's tied into the Receiver Endplate, like a Vltor Sling Mount.

    Someone pointed out on LF that there are some other (probably captured) weapons out there aside from U.S.-provided Iraqi M16s and M4s:

    Those are cheapest ARs to buy in Poland. Some pictures here: http://bron.iweb.pl/viewtopic.php?t=...asc&start=1110.

    So far no serious problems, but owners rather do not run them hard.

    This. It annoys the shit out of me when I hear the "They're just a bunch of savages living in caves." talk. They are savages, and they do live in caves. But that is not "just" what they "are".

    Many people see images like the following and conclude the entire region is full of a bunch of stupid idiots. But as most of us know, one need not look further than any gun range in the United States to see what kind of Fudd-induced stupidity shows up when guns are involved. The ME is no different.



    The image of the old guy screaming while shooting his 40 year old AK47 into the air, scope too far forward and Grip-Pod extended is the most common portrayal of these guys because the dramatic images get shown most often by the media. It might be easy to look at that from our perspective and go "I'd take that guy out from a mile away." The 8000+ US troops KIA since 9/11 would disagree.

    Interestingly that is not a Colt, or Norinco. It is most definitely a SIG AR, which I could imagine there are not a ton of, especially in the sand box. Could they have been Contractors guns? I have no idea why the Mil would use them.

    The QD sockets on the lower receiver are very non standard and caught my eye immediately.
    Here is a link to Sigs sight where you can see both the lower receiver with QD and rail.
