Gents,
Pending my wife having better photos.... here are the last of the set that I took.
Pictured (in part) is an XM 148 Grenade Launcher for the M16. This has me pretty curious, as I have seem the M79 and M203 (mounts to the M16 platform).
Regardless, the XM 148 looks real nifty!


What I am curious about, are the handguards! Looks like a big upgrade from the standard "triangular" ones commonly found on older M16's.



Hope everyone enjoyed... and can share more and better photos of this display!

Yes, early XM 148, which makes it the test pattern. Neat handguard. Lots of changes before the production model came out...

I was very good with the blooper.
