The reason I chose the RSA was because I already had one that used to be on my H&K UMP. The second reason is that it has an incorporated quick release mount, so if it fails, I can just dump it and run the irons. Light as hell too. I’ve run it through many shotgun classes with zero issues.

In the pic, what you’re seeing is actually a rubber cover, but yes the scope is made of fiberglass reinforced nylon. The same as the optic that comes stock on the H&K G36.

Hensoldt RSA. Has a quick release mount incorporated so you can dump it if for any reason it fails. It also runs on both solar and battery power. The one in the pic has a rubber cover. Without it, it’s much slimmer.

From somebody that 3D prints a lot of parts, that is definitely not one you want to do. There’s no filaments that can handle that.

I had the exact same setup and I didn’t need to swap the tube. Just swapped stocks.

I have seen it done. I asked the guy how he did it but wouldn’t divulge the state secrets. Not even what model the stock was for. ?

I’ve had the most success with the Federal TruBall. You can get it with different velocities.

Merry belated Christmas! I had disconnected from the internet for a few days.

I had the Hayl rail and the feel was great, but like you mentioned the set screws was an issue. At the time there weren’t any better options, but that changed when Briley and Agency came out with their Mlok options. I ended up getting the long Briley rail. They have a shorter one that is the same size as the factory handguard , but I wanted the longer one so my light sits as far forward as possible. I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s rock solid yet removable with no tools. The endless amount of Mlok slots makes setting things up to your liking easier.

After two very intense training classes, my setup has held up perfectly. The level 2 class really pushed us to try every possible scenario and shooting position under the sun. That also helped confirm that my setup works well in less than optimal circumstances. Couldn’t be happier with the Briley long handguard. It helps put the light much further forward which is optimal. The Federal Flight Control 00 buck in the M4 practically performs like a slug out to 15 yards. At 30 yards I was still getting all 8 pellets in the “A” box. Federal TruBall 1300 fps slug is nearly as accurate as shooting with a rifle. I got solid reliable hits out to 100 yards. The faster versions of TruBall slug can probably reach further. Between the two classes and a bunch of training and testing before the classes, I have experimented with a bunch of different ammo. In the proximity of 5000 shots. My conclusion is that anything that is faster than 1250 fps runs reliably 100% of the time. 1200 fps runs 50-75% of the time depending on manufacturer. Even slugs at 1200 don’t cycle reliably all the time. The golden number is definitely 1250 fps. The more I train with the M4, the more I fall in love with it. My only beef with it is the pistol grip, but without having a shorter option of the field stock, this is it for now

It’s from GG&G GG&G M4 QD mount

Impact Weapon Components mounted on the right side. IWC M4 QD mount

My collection of G36s that I have built over the years.

If we’re adding FDE weaons in the mix, I can definitely contribute.

Definitely!

This range had some safe forward observer positions. The spotters would report back corrections and hits.

I had completely forgotten I had this other black gun. Steyr SSG-08 in 300 win mag with a S&B 3-20x56. Most amazing bolt gun I’ve ever owned. Trigger is fully adjustable in every which way possible right from the factory. Successfully hit human silhouette targets out to 2km with Berger 230 grain handloads.

Thanks it was featured in the magazine Tread.

Thanks! Jeep Wrangler.

Only black gun I own. Everything else is in FDE or some shade of grey. Even my M4 is the H2O version.

Did a bunch of ammo testing. The M4 absolutely loved this #6 Federal shot that’s rated at 1255 fps. It didn’t cycle properly on the Rio reduced recoil slugs, but had no issues with the Remington or Federal reduced recoil slugs.

Who says shotguns aren’t accurate? This is two 00 buckshots at 30 yards on a 66% B/C target. Got slug hits both at 50 and 100 yards, but forgot to take pics before I repainted them. Prepping and testing ammo for an advanced shotgun class. Who else trains and preps for classes?

I would love two please! Tired of using a very large screwdriver.

I run the Nordic +1 in conjunction to the factory choke/brake. With that combo there’s plenty of room to spare.
