I see your a reservist so the handguards are about all I'd expect you to be able to do if anything at all,
a few years back some guys were switching off the butt stock for a collapsable one,
I have a Sargeant who uses the old Iron sight carry handle sometimes, But I've never seen anyother reservist able to play around with the optics in Canada,
and I've heard tales of a LSSR (thunder bay) running his own Civvie upper on a Cf lower, most people laugh this off as a myth. But apparently there soo far off the grid that they can get away with most everything.
A little late, but I just found this thread doing a search.
So Billnye heard a rumour and it must be true cause, well, Billnye heard it.
Within the last 7 years there has only been three mems that have owned their own ar's while in and none of us took any of our personal AR kit into the field.
There was a troop a little while back that machined up a couple of foregrips that were allowed in the field a couple of times. Maybe thats what your informant saw. But pers uppers on issued lowers...I wish.
Perhaps you could be a bit more specific about when and where your guy saw the rifle in question. Maybe he remembers the rank of the owner. Then get back to me. Until then I think you're full of it.
If this was pre98 and you can give me a date and place, I'll check it out. If you're right, I'll apologize.
So you think the Lake Sups are just a bunch of Southern Comfort good old boys eh? Perhaps you could give a couple of examples that you observed where we, "get away with most everything". Get back to me on this also.
The Sups aren't a large unit, Company minus really, but pound for pound I believe we have put as many guys overseas as any other reserve unit. One of our own came home a little earlier than the others on the last rotation.
You don't hear me talking sh*t about your unit. If you've got some facts spit them out. If all you've got are tales then stfu asshat.
