Take a look at this Marine's weapon.
I'm not sure but it doesn't look quite like a M16A4....but it doesn't exactly fit the profile of the M27 either. Anyone know what it is?
MK12 MOD 1 SPR?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a SAM-R or something similar to it. I was under the impression that the M27 rail system connected with the receiver and lined up perfectly, allowing for one to lose that pesky nut in-between the rail system and the receiver. I can not really see the pic tho since I'm on my phone.
ReplyDeleteAnd if memory serves me correct from when I saw a few in nc... they had collapsable stocks.
ReplyDeleteHey, SNAFU
ReplyDeleteIt's a MK12 SPR, as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_12_Special_Purpose_Rifle
