AR15 Loadout Update!

Well, it's been a while and the setup has changed a little bit.



I've added a Surefire G2 via a picatinny rail I had left over and a Daniel Defense Offset flashlight mount, put on a simple 2-point sling, placed the Redi-Mag back on, and bolted on a Magpul Battery Assist Device(BAD).

Surefire G2 on DD mount:


Redi-Mag and BAD:



I'm on the fence about keeping the Redi-Mag or not. It is a nice addition to the rifle and makes magazine changes much faster but the weight and and balance of the weapon is thrown off a bit. I think I'll use it if I get into competitive shooting but I think for range use, I'll stick with just using the BAD. I used the rifle with just the BAD, and while it's not a necessary addition to the AR I really like it a lot. I noticed my reloads are slightly smoother and I can get back up on target faster when using it rather than the usual bolt catch/release.

I also changed up my range gear a bit. I'm testing out an idea to use my vest to carry medical and admin gear while using the subload to carry ammunition:



I separated my medical gear based on immediate use and routine use. I will have to post about the kits later as I have used some sandwich bags to help retrieve only the supplies I want for a given situation.

As for what's next: A CMMG Inc. 22LR conversion kit and an EOTech 512 sight. The .22 kit is taking priority. It would be nice to shoot 1000 rounds without breaking the bank!

Long Hiatus...

Sorry about the long hiatus from the blog but I was a little busy:



I was in Yorktown, VA for 10 weeks at Gunner's Mate "A" school. I graduated the 18th of December and then went on leave. My wife and I are now making preparations to go to my next duty station in Port Angeles, WA. I'll be sporadically posting when I can. After February I will post on a more regular basis.
