Lets see your .223 California Legal Self Loading Rifle!

[tacticalcity]

i recently "aquired" a true mil-spec SOPMOD knights rail. huge upgrade from my cheap-o UTG rail. it was the last upgrade i needed to be able to say, "it's not a cheap build."


before (top) and after SOPMOD (bottom):

Nice build, SSGT. Even nicer to see more USAF guys here.

I run the KAC rail myself on one of my two AR15s, the one I use for CQB training courses. It is a nice drop-in rail. Not too heavy. It has been good to me. I saved the free floating 12" rail for my range whore. The longer rails weigh too much. By hour 5 of running and gunning your arms get way too tired with the longer rails. In any case, I absolutely love my M4. More so than my Recon rifle.

Old pic of my first build. I recently added a MIAD grip with the integrated enhanced trigger guard, due to a broken TG ear.

Looks great.

+1 to all of the above.

After trying the grip all the way out there, I found it works great for a short period of time, however it drastically increases the fatigue factor the longer you do it.

So while it works great in competition, it is not very realistic for real life such as combat operations or SWAT use.

Sit outside a hostage standoff situation for hours on end and you WILL end up moving your hand further back.

Train for four days straight eight hours a day and you WILL end up moving your hand further back.

The issue is that your skeletal structure is much stronger than your musculature structure. You're trying to put all the weight of your rifle on your muscles, where as if you moved your hand further back then you could put most of it on your bones...in which case you would tire out a lot slower.

I still use the thumb over bore, and I still only use the vertical grip index point, I just do it further back on the rifle so my skeletal structure is bearing the brunt of the weight.

It is a compromise between what controls recoil the best and between what is practical for hours upon hours of running and gunning fatigue wise. It's what I was trained to do, and what works best for me after having put several techniques to the test.

looks very clean and well set up to me!

I moved my forward grip closer and it seems to work better.
