    "recce" vs "afghan" definitions etc- need a spot of help

    Sorry guys. My attempts at using SEARCH are all resulting in Safari effors msgs.

    I seem to recall a thread (don't recall where it was but I ASSume it was in "AR General..." ) where the differences between these types of rifles where hashed out. Now I cannot find that thread. Any ideas? Failing that, any idea as to a solid reference outside of M4C? My google-fu is turning up pointless garbage. Gracias.

    Try using the orange search button in the top right corner

    Far from an expert on the topic, but I believe this Wikipedia article to be fairly accurate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEAL_Recon_Rifle

    If I'm not mistaken, an afghan is just Noveske's name for a 14.5" version of the same rifle.

    Whining in a forum that people have seen your thread, but not replied, reeks of an odd brand of desperation. - Me

    Titling your thread "To XYZ or Not to XYZ" will cause me to completely ignore your thread.

    You should do some searches via google: recce afghan site:m4carbine.net or use the other search button at the top:

    Same concept but we made a 14.5" before we/many knew about the 16.5" Crane Recce.

    You can find a ton of info around here on Recce style guns. "Afghan" is Noveske's model designation for their SS 14.5" midlength barrel, basically a shortened version of their "Recon" model, if you're into that kind of thing.

    Oops, Todd beat me to it.

    Should have mentioned that I get the errors with either the orange button or the mid-page link. Weird. Any search term set seems to result in a kickback from Safari lately, but only on this site.

    I get the same error occasionally in Firefox. I use the Google advanced search method that Rudy99 mentioned when I get it...that always works.

    Are the scopes backwards?
