    That looks like a Leupold scope, (maybe 1.5-5 w/SPR reticle?) . also note the LMT SOPMOD stock and grip pod up front. I think he spent some of his own money. And all the p-mags.

    Are these things issued in the system, now?

    Jack I believe that all of those things are "in the system" now, if not widely issued then at least available, as are many other items we may not think of as available to these guys.

    Steve B said he'd acquired an Aimpoint T-1 and many Pmags through his supply guy, and I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere that the Grip-Pod things have become an issue item in some cases.

    The ones I linked to have the Magpul followers, which I think are worth the extra $1 personally.

    Any other reason behind DH instead Brownell's other than the Magpul followers. The ones I ordered were these; also with the Magpul follower

    I've noticed a few considerations that some may not have considered. I have.....

    (1) Bushmaster - No FTF problems
    (1) C-Products - Never fired yet
    (1) USGI mag - Never fired yet
    (1) Cammenga Easymag - Never fired yet.

    During mag drills I noticed that the Cammenga mag offered excellent grip and is very easy to top off with it's design. While the bushy, USGI, and C-products mags were all a little slippery with sweaty or CLP soaked hands. I found the Cammenga mag to be easier to grab, secure, and load then the other mags. For ops using gloves this may or may not be an issue but should be considered. Once I test fire the mags I'll make my decision as to which mags I will go with.

    The Cammenga mag is steel and does weigh a bit more but I feel the trade off is worth it for what appears to be a very high quality, well made mag.

    Can you point to a link where someone can buy the Okay or New Havens?

    BTW...

    Brownells magazines ARE issued as posters on Lightfighter have reported receiving them. They have also reported problems with them despite the fact that they are "GI". Like many things, "GI" isn't the be-all/end-all.

    I ordered a few of those gen 1 from DSG a couple weeks ago, I couldn't believe it when I clicked on the bargain pile link, unless you have magwell issues or pouch issues with the gen 1 there's no reason not to stock up at $10.50 a piece.
