This is a work in progress, almost two years now trying to find all the different parts. Still have a way to go on it but will be shooting it this weekend.
Love it when major matches have dedicated photographers, it's the only chance I have at getting cool action shots.
Born left handed, kindergarten teacher put a stop to that. Grew up shooting BB guns right handed because that's what I saw everyone else doing. Shot a pistol for the first time in my teens and was instantly reminded that I should be left handed. Looking back I wish I would've retrained long guns to lefty because I'm also very left eye dominant but I'm not starting over now.
Yup. Although when you spend a decade of that training being blissfully unaware that you're doing everything the hard way, you kinda forget you're doing everything the hard way...
Born right eye dominate but very left handed.
Found out shooting a bb gun as a teen.
Forced myself to be left eye dominate.
Have people that tell me to shoot rifle right handed but don't want to risk reverting back to being right eye dominate and screwing up my pistol shooting.

The Altra's? I really like them. They dry fast, good traction and most importantly they have a wide toe box that keeps my duck feet happy all day.
Corn's too tall to stretch things out so I'm goofing off trying to go fast with my 6.5 Grendel pistol. As long as you keep a solid shooting platform it isn't bad and shoots flatter than I would've guessed.
Agreed. Took a while to get used to my first pair but now I wouldn't go back.

Hey now, Sopmod will always be GTG. I need to try one of those Unity Tactical risers next.

Now all thats needed is a swap to the URX3.1

Ehh. I have a few in the safe already, the MLOK stays.
Haha, well they do make for great storage on wheels in the house. I keep random parts, original factory boxes and extra tools in them and then I wheel out whichever one I need when working on the bench. Well worth the minimal investment and an uncluttered neutral background for a quick picture, I win twice.
Any of yall GWOT vets ever see a 20" A4 DMR with KAC FF-RAS, .gov profile barrel, corn cob can, ACOG and bipod?
What grip and handguard is that?And because it's a pic thread!
Just installed the Wilson 11.3" match 5.56 barrel the other day. Was running a CMC 10.5" .223 Wylde, but looking for a bit more of a "bughole" barrel. We shall see.
11.3" Micro Recce with too much glass..
Sounds like the SDM-R... not sure it was a RAS, though.
Or maybe an M16A4 with a bipod and can....?
Basically, yes. Was this ever a thing? Cant find the pic, and maybe remembering it wrong since I saw it so long ago... but I swear I saw some Army Reserve or Army NG guys running said rifle in Afghan...
I don't know because I wasn't really into the nuances between variants back then. But the Army did put out the SDM-R which used a quad rail, an ACOG and 20" bbl. Just not sure it was skinny under the handguard and I read somewhere that it was an other-than-Knight's quad rail.

Yes I suppose it could've been the SAM-R but coulda swore at the time it wasn't.. been several years since I saw the pic however.

One I saw had a ACOG and corn cob
Yeah. My unit had primarily Aimpoints. But we had a couple of ACOGs that a few people got. That was on otherwise basic-issue M4s (KAC rail, FSP, plastic-y mil-spec collapsible stock). Some gun nerds (which I was not back then) at the time might have thought we were more special than we really were.Yes I suppose it could've been the SAM-R but coulda swore at the time it wasn't.. been several years since I saw the pic however.

Damn. I thought my Noveske build was nice. lol.
Here in Australia it probably did... for reference Pmags sell for US$180ea here and I saw a D60 mag sell for over $US700.
Anyway, i was bored and have a fridge full of Cerakote going off.

Like... a real production Noveske? I could only dream. I have a lot of Noveske builds but none that are factory guns. Some day.
Yessir! Ambi lower, different contour upper, and handguard. Very nice rifle! I have a gen 3 tiger eye brown set kicking around that I am unsure what to do with, contemplating selling:
Absolutely love it. It and my JP are my favorite semi auto’s
Wanting to make some changes to this 14.5 Noveske, but here it is.
