I picked one of these things up, I can't do anything with it at the moment because another good ole haze gray underway for a while. But when I get back I'm going to have to struggle what to do with it.
I have decided it will be a perfect MK318 MOD 0 launcher candidate. I have some stock piled and since it was built around the M855A1, I figured why not run a better round. A Navy guy, buying an Army upper to run Marine ammo through it.....and since the only upper I have built to take it has an OD Green Magpul UBR on it....I guess it's going to be a partial Air Force vet's clone.........
I'm struggling what optic to put on it though. I'm still not 100% on if I put a dot, P4Xi, look for a 1-6 I like, or just get another Trij accupower 1-8 on it. OR! maybe give an NX8 a go, despite being iffy. But I've already got my MR556 set up as a REECE/MK12 replacement. My MR762 as the DMR, so I'd like to push this into a "war gun" type rifle. So maybe the dot with a flip over magnifier is more appropriate, or the Steiner P4Xi. I'm also planning on running the Surefire RC2 I'm waiting on and M600DF. No DBAL on this one I think. We'll see. Also took advantage of the Geissele Halloween sale and picked up a few things, but namely a SSA to put in too.
But I'm sure the more of us who get them, will have questions and want to see other setups. So I'm starting a thread. I know I don't have pictures yet because of circumstances, but I'll have some up right after I get home. So while I'm overseas drinking Iceland out of beer............if you got em, post em. If you've got suggestions.....I'll take those too.
