| Final version of the SOCOM16 I developed for Border Patrol f
Here is the very use friendly SOCOM16. We used this yesterday with B P folks in the advanced training at Ft. Huachuca. One of the complaints they had was that the EBR's are too front heavy and you cnnot use the butt as a defensive tool/ The original SOCOM 16 properly soped changes all that. This is a supurb combat weapon out to a legitimate 600 meters. We put a MeOpta K-Dot 1-4 Red Dot on a Sadlak Airborne Mount. If you need a cheekpiece take a G I washcloth and put it on with 90mph tape. This carbine balances perfectly and you can use the buttstock for a nice verticle or horzontle stroke ![]() |

3F, you're catching a world of heat on this topic on several sites, primarily M4C. Just a heads up, man.

I see you have run into the ignorant 'we hate all things M14/M1A' idiots over on THR.US... they are unwilling to learn anything.

I shot an 18" barrelled .308 once, which cured me of ever wanting to own a short-barrelled .308 of any kind. | |

18.0" barreled M14s are my favorites followed by 22.0" variants. I have some trigger time with a SOCOM in a TROY... it was very nice and I am looking forward to using SEI's new 16" barrel soon. |

And then there's those Robo-stocks...Again, they seem to work well, but I prefer something that at least resembles a rifle. ![]() |

You did say Robo-stocks and the JAE is one heavy Mofo-stock.

I like the Scout a bit better - that muzzle blast out of the SOCOM has to be vicious. ![]() What is Dan doing with that broomstick and coffee cans? ![]() |

Nice weapon for the BP to have. Now if they were just allowed to actually USE them in carrying out their mission, by the upper management of their own agency. ![]() |

The broomstick is what one of the Female Foreign officers flew in on. The coffee can is what I stand in front of the P X and hold out for donations.
