The "Modern" AR thread.

[jmoore]

Modern basic:



Colt 6720 with Aimpoint Micro and Geissele SSA FCG. (Currently, this rifle is wearing yet another TA31 ACOG, but that's subject to change for a smaller unit.) It also has been since "downgraded" to an old small set (single heatshield) of Colt handguards.

What stock is that on the 6720?

We can't seem to get any pencil barrels up here. Everything is either Gov't or HBAR profile.

None down south that I can find.

Rogers' Super Stock (Or something similar namewise) It comes with the current run of Colts and is Colt marked in addition to the mfg's name. Similar in function to the Magpul CTR, but the clamping force is adjustable. Stylistically not as attractive as the Magpul, I think, but it's invisible whilst shouldered, so it really doesn't matter...

BTW, one thing that's hugely annoying about Colt buttstock tubes is that they have one less locking hole than everybody else's product. Which happens to be one that I often use whilst hunting or doing "in close" work. Have yet to rectify the situation, though.

Here is Australia's contribution to the modern AR family. The WFM4.

For practicality, mine has lost the Mall Ninja railed forend, picked up an Eotech MPOIII and a railed gas block to attach a front sling swivel.

Without doubt THE most expensive rifle I've ever bought and the first brand new rifle for me since 1983.

I thought semi-auto rifles were banned in Australia?

Not quite Stevo.

Very heavily regulated and enforced and beyond the realms of possibility for most people.

They can only be imported with the permission of the Attorney General's Dept. for very specific uses. There were ten of these made here in Oz to bypass the AG as an experiment to gauge interest but the production costs due to low volume seems to have killed off the idea.

Thanks for the info.

[Lithy]

No worries mate

Here is a bit of a blurb on the whole thing.

This just arrived. I hope to get out to the range and try it today.
