    I'm not in a habit of questioning SME on how they get permission to use what they choose to use, but suffice it to say he would have had to get command level permission.

    Are you Army SF? Or Navy SEAL? 5326 is a Navy MOS isn't it?
    Just a quick google search on the 5326 MOS

    How does what work? I am not sure what you are asking.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    That sounds like a splended idea for a thread . . . can't wait to see it, I'll make sure to pop some corn!

    I believe he is ask how Dano was able to deploy personnally owned uppers. I can say that I've seen minor mods,personnal optics, grips, stocks, endplates, accu wedges and agency adapters down range in Rifle Companies. I'm sure there are units whose COC is willing to underwrite or authorize personnally owned uppers.

    A misscommunication as Salad was asking Doc the question not Dano . . .

The Grip Pod is VERY popular in those types of units because it lets them set their rifles on the floor of the DFAC when eating or beside their desk in their office.

    I'll try to get pics of the "Best of Bagram" rifle setups when I can get around to it. You guys would get a kick out of some of them.
    Sadly it's not just the support guys. I saw it a lot in the infantry too. And regarding the placement of the grip, I think it may be a Marine SOP. Every single picture I have ever seen of a Marine with a grip on his rifle, it has been back almost all the way to the magwell. That or a lot of them just use the magwell instead. Not sure why.

    Two of my high school buddies are marines and they said the brass wouldn't allow them to have a vfg in the forward half of their hand guard. This was 2008-09 ish, no idea if that is still protocol now.
