Carbine Perfection?

While I love the Hk416 - I am not sure I can get anymore (unless LAV wants to cut some off to me...)
Also the 16" is a good gun - in my job I'd not really take any advantage of the 416.
If I was kicking in doors daily I would rethink -- but my day is pretty much spent chilling and my shooting solutions are typically 200m+ where the Recce rifle and the Short Dot work very well.
 
nice to see pics of a non-safe queen black rifle actually used and shown in its ready state..by looks of it a paint job wouldnt last too long anyways :D thanks for the pics.
 
Okay - I got a few new upgrades in over the last few days.

I'd like to thank the awesome folks at Larue Tactical for their help. I cannot think of a company that does more for people.
We cooked up some steaks last night when we got back to the tent (ugh tent) and the Dillo Dust is a big hit, some hard candies (some people detest chew for some reason, and hard candies are more patable to the team dynamic while mounted sometime)
The Dillo's are awesome to open the Beck's De-alcoholized beer (GO1 is such a PITA)

PEQ-2 mount -- man these things are sweet -
The issue mount is not the best and the Laure is hands down 100% better - and with a little loctite on the PEQ's mounting top screw - it is not going anywhere.
The X300 mount - (okay its on the helmet and I was too lazy to upload that pic) - I've been eyeing the Larue 12" Stealth upper and I think I will be getting that later, but for now I have a good helmet light for some stuff - as the SF helmet light is fine for some low light uses but does not throw enough light for other uses.
I replaced the rather cheesy thin front push button sling attachment with a Larue one and am much happier
A good bunch of guys on the team are drooling over the Larue catalgue here now.
Finally - Thanks to Grey Group - I now have the Redimod BFG versions of the Redi-Mag -- lighter and more handy IMHO

Have I missed something, is that an M16 lower on that carbine?
I was looking at everything on the gun and I noticed the pin in the firing position of the selector switch.
 
Why does the US army care what kind of pistol you're using? Or do you work that closely to them that it matters. I mean .45auto can't be that hard to find there.

Because government contracts often have stipulations as to which weapons and calibres are authorized for use and by whom.

And yes, .45 is hard to get in country unless you know the right people. When I ditched my 1911 I sold the ammo for a couple dollars a round.
 
That S&B short dot is neat. Do you know anyone that uses the Horus Vision Talon? The reticle might give you a little more options when range opens up beyond 200......I'm sure quality doesn't match the S&B though..

I would also like to hear some real world experience with the Talon over there?
While I was in Afghanistan I never saw one in use. BTW, that is a nice set up Kevin.

I noticed you aren`t running a bipod - is there a distance at which the stability benefits outweigh the extra weight and bulk? I figure personal preference plays a role, how much I don`t know.

I`ve done a fair bit of bipod work at 600+, and I don`t think I need one up to maybe 400 (for 8-inch-circle hits) - interested in your views.
