Notice the BAR belt to hold mags. Very common with the SF types and advisors.
I've done this myself, it's the only way to carry the weapon without it cocking over upside down. It looks like an M1 carbine sling though.Quote:

I've used 550 and tape on a standard A2 to do the same. Field expedient.
That soldier's mustache is brandishing some macho.
I was looking for a photo of the XM607 when I found this picture. Photos of the XM607 are difficult to find and I was able to restore an original stock a few years ago with some repro internal parts.
I likey 607. Very sweet!
Anyone have any idea on the number of XM607 stock units were produced ? has to be a few hundred ?? also a low survival rate.
I sure would like one. I really like the stock.
Found this:
Total Silence - Home of the XM607 Buttstock
Not cheap at $395.00 but it sure is a nice stock.
