I got the pic from the Marine Recon Association on Facebook; they put out historical pics every day. I agree, heavy influence from the VN era, those old-school ERDL cammies.

Yeah, I picked up on the trigger finger, too . I was like, "c'mon, doc, you know better...."

Makes sense. Betting it’s something like a 1.5x, kinda like what HK did with the G36.

I’ve got my dads scrapbooks around. A lot of his stuff mixed with stuff he got off the web. Force Recon in Vietnam.
