Civillan M4

That's not paranoid Warp, that's a "thoughtful" step.

Get a DPMS. Then you'll have plenty of opportunities to practice clearing malfunctions.

Seriously though, I think if you're goal is to be as close to the M4 as possible go with the welded flash hider option.

TACOM did an about face last year and reversed the PMAG "ban". I got into a lovely "discussion" with a SGM last December who insisted the mags were banned until I showed him he was wrong.

Fun fact - The PMAGS I sent with my buds to Afghaniland were the only mags they didn't have issues with. Ended up having to secure a case of them to send them when they got in country due to supply issues.

Yep. It was more about some paper pusher with rank sitting behind a desk having everyone dress right dress instead of us having reliable mags in a combat zone.

It was a ridiculous policy that directly affected our capabilities outside the wire for a short period of time.

You guys actually stopped using them? We just told anyone who mentioned it to go ---- themselves or leave the wire and do our job.

Alternative? Buy a Mid-length gas-system 16" gun. It is a better gas system and overall rifle that the M-4 AND has a little longer forearm (much better than the little M-4) as well as the ability to put a bayonet on it.

Unfortunately...where I was at in Wardak, we had a roving SGM that would harass patrols like ours about this nonsense. When we conducted all our checks before heading outside the wire, this became one of them until the policy was pulled.

The SF guys of course could ignore all of it since they didn't fall within the local CoC.
