I am not a current or former elite SEAL operator, nor am I a U.S. military small arms historian. But based on what I've read, I believe there may be truth to both of the quoted statements above. While researching my own SPR build, this is what I've gleened from the all-knowing oracle that is the Internet:
- The need/desire/concept/idea of an accurized M4 ('Recce', or recon/reconnaissance rifle by today's nomenclature)) existed before, and was the catalyst for, the SPR development program.
-The SPR concept - originally only a complete upper receiver before being provided as a complete rifle - was developed into several platforms that are currently in use with various branches of the U.S military.
-Some SEAL teams were unhappy with the Navy's Mk 12 SPR, and have reverted back to accurized M4 'Recce' rifle idea.
To return to wes's question - yes, I concur. Recce next. Try it with an A1 stock. Or not.

Just kidding guys.
Or tried to. Your explanation is clearer than my example.




Well done!
