I actually know this photo. it was a YouTube video I saw awhile back. This guy is also a fellow member of SnipersHide.com.

The rifle is a LWRC M6A2 12" Short Barrel Rifle with an Advanced Armament Gen 1 SPR/M4 suppressor. It is the older version with the Magpul UBR stock. The current AAC SPR/M4 has changed, as well.

The scope is an Eotech 512.
Sights are a fixed HK-style diopter sights, probably made by Centurion Arms. Currently HK also makes a version for the 416.

Magazine is a windowed Magpul Gen 2 30-rnd Pmag

The nifty grenade launcher is a 37mm Havoc Launcher made by Spike's Tactical.

This is a Mossberg 464 and is chambered in .30-30 Winchester. With the exception of the sling, bipod, scope and mounting system, the rifle comes looking like that. It's their new "tactical" series. Personally, I think it looks freakin stupid, but to each their own.

The bipod is a Harris HBR with a picatinny adapter.

The sling is a common sling from Uncle Mikes.

Unknown: Scope
Unknown: Picatinny mount.

This rifle is an interesting one. I have a love/hate relationship with it. At the time I purchased my Armalite AR-10 Super SASS, I considered buying this rifle, but their piston system was having issues. Ok, lets get into this:

This is a Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF) .308win carbine. Model is: P308. POF is a local company, having it's factory/home in Glendale, AZ. Not too far from my house. They were one of the first to build a decent AR-308 platform and incorporate the piston system. Being this platform is unique and very good to look at, several big retailers have commissioned POF to build them a "branded" version. This includes the folks at Gunsmoke, which was featured in Family Guns, which is not off the air because of Sandy Hook and the owners of Gunsmoke (Wyatt Family) is now under investigation by BATFE and the IRS...

This is a 16.5" barrel and has their "Diamond" MMR Modular Rail receiver. It's totally free floated and features a monolithic top rail (Continuous rail from front to back). They are also uniques in that they have a built in ambi bolt release button. This picture is of an older platform. Since then, they have lightened the free float upper by making part of the top rails modular/removable and changed the grip and stock to Magpul.

As configured:

ERGO ar-15 grip
Pmag 20rnd .308 magazine
EMOD VTLOR stock

All other enhancements are factory installed by POF, including their flash hider, KNS anti-rotating pin set, ambi selector.

Dang. ARs are like Barbies for guys. Most of these rifle are AR platforms and share a lot of the same accessories. Ok, here we go:

In 2010 a small group in Indiana decided to build a better mousetrap. They decided to reinvent the AR-15 and make it better. The company was called Next Generation Arms. The thought was nice, but they didn't really "reinvent" anything. They just purchased some very expensive parts and assembled a very expensive rifle. They tried to curb cost and increase profits by buying 1/2 machined parts and machining it themselves. They quickly learned that mass production should be left to those who are setup for mass production.

They released the X7 in 2011. The rifle was beautiful. Kinda like a Ferrari compared to a Corvette. In 2012 they started developing the X8 but they ran out of money and closed the shop down. I guess people are getting tired of overpriced and overweight ARs. What you see above is the X7.

Not fair. That's not even a real/complete gun! It's a mishmash of gun parts welded together.

Looks like a shortened shotgun barrel, welded onto a Sten receiver tube, and Mac-11 magazine well and trigger housing. Looks like a prop gun from WaterWorld. LOL.

Michael told me that he sometimes spends time using Photoshop or some other program to doctor the images he post here. I guess he thinks it will make it harder for me to identify the firearm. Well, it does make it a bit harder. Unless, the firearm is as unique as this one. It's an AR, right? Sure, but this bad boy is a bit unique.

Unique grip. Unique stock. Unique light. Unique flash hider. Unique free float forend. BIG money was spent building this rifle. Here we go:

* The pistol grip is similar to a Magpul but it has a more vertical stance, designed to force the elbows to tuck inward, instead of outward. This helps to reduce the chance of you sticking your elbow out from cover, reducing YOU as a target size, and keep your elbow from getting shot off. The highrise grip is designed to increase comfort and reduce the chance that the grip may pinch the shooter. The grip is made by Bravo Company Manufacturing (BCM), called the Gunfighter's Grip.

* The stock is a SOPMOD design. SOPMOD stands for Special Operations Peculiar MODification, which is the standard lingo for "made especially for battle rifles in the M4A1, FN-SCAR and is used by USSOCOM (United States Special Operations Command). The bad asses of the Military. This stock is made by B5 systems and is the Bravo model. B5 makes two styles, Bravo and Enhanced.

* The weapon light is made by InForce. It's a unique light that boasts a 125 Lumen output and is factory focused for close to midlength combat use. What really makes this light unique is that it's been upgraded to 200 Lumen output and married with an Offset mount and is manufactured specifically for a company called Haley Strategic Partners LLC. This light is known as the InForce WML-HSP.

* The flash hider is also a compensator. It's made by Bravo Company (BCM) and is called the BCMGunfighter compensator. What makes it uniques is that it is designed to reduce flash, muzzle flip, and deflect blast pressure and noise away from the shooter. Lastly, it may also be used as a quick mount for A2 type locking collar suppressors.



* The free float forend is made by Geissele Automatics. This is their MKI Super Modular Rail. What's unique is that they took their 10" model and used the same pattern as their 13" model. Why?? This leads me to believe this is a custom build.

Now, I have to excercise the ancient art of "Google-Fu" and figure this out. Ching! The combination of parts from BCM, and Haley Strategic was the kicker. This is a specialty build by BCM called The Haley Strategic Jack Carbine. It's part of BCM's Gunfighter Select Carbines.



Good one, Michael. I really had to work on this one!

This is a HK 23EK. More accurately, it's MM23EK, since it's built by Michael's Machines of Edwardsville, Illinois.

He specializes in building belt fed roller block guns, primarily the HK platform. This rifle comes standard in 5.56x45 (.223rem) but is also available in .7.62x51 (.308win). It's a Class 3 firearms and can only be built if you have a registered trigger pack or registered rifle. With some skill and gunsmithing magic, he can build you one of these monsters! Dig deep, though. It'll set you back over $20,000.

The SVD Dragunov is a Russian made sniper rifle based on the ever popular AK-47. The setup you see there is pretty traditional. The rifle was designed to be a squad support weapon and can reach out to over 900 meters, when put into the right hands. Today, you can find this rifle in the popular 7.62x39. However, it was originally designed as a 7.62x54R. The larger casing allowed the bullet to be pushed out past 900 meters with great accuracy. Even more accuracy can be obtained when the rifle is rechambered for the unique 7.292x79 cartridge. The even larger casing partnered with the smaller (lighter) bullet made this rifle a very flat shooting, long range destroyer.

Many enemy soldiers have lost their lives by this rifle. Very odd considering that the rifle only uses a 4x scope. What made this scope unique from other countries earlier sniper rifles, was that the scope had a unique reticle. The scope had a bullet compensating reticle that corrected for windage and range. The reticle could also range find an average size human target. This feature can be found in most high end scopes today, but it was very unique for a scope made back in the 1960s. Oh, it also had an illuminated reticle! Snazzy! The scope is a PSO-1.

This particular rifle is a modern day version of the SVD. Some upgrades had been added. Harris bipod, adjustable muzzle brake, adjustable cheekpad, and an updated version of the PSO-1 sniper scope.

This rifle is still in use today. Many can be found all over the world, but China seems to be the biggest user.

You can see it in action in many films such as X-men Origins: Wolverine, Hitman, The Sniper, Bad Company, Behind Enemy Lines, Black Hawk Down, The Boondock Saints, and Rambo.

Not going to lie... I kinda want it.

Black Dawn Custom builds and sells ARs. This is the Magpul MOE edition. They are more known for their offerings of custom refinishing. Looks to be a Hydro-Dip process.

The pistol below is the DB-9 from DiamondBack Firearms.

What's actually impressive is not the AR, but the DiamondBack DB-9. It's a super lightweight and sub-compact 9mm that resembles a tiny Glock. It breaks down like a Glock, too. This is a pure CCW defense handgun. No frills. Just comfort and accuracy. It has a slight beavertail, no slide lock, no external safety. It's been said that it is the result of a Glock and Smith & Wesson M&P making a love child. With a 6.5# trigger pull, this makes it a worthy dedicated CCW gun. Unlike most "cheap" guns, this has real 3-dot sights and the rear sight is windage adjustable. The DB-9 from Diamondback Firearms has a MSRP of $450, with a street price of $375.

I don't think if I would go Full Zombie, but I do like the basic black.
