Been working on this since last years Clone Shoot. I remember seeing this r***e 10+ years ago and thinking, someday...

So, this is my clone of Travis Haleys' Marine Force Recon, USSOCOM issued SOPMOD M4A1. The gun he says got him started in modifying parts to slim down, shave weight, and improve ergonomics on r***es. With how heavy this thing is, there's no wonder.

Upper parts list:
C**t keyhole upper (Wet Worx)
C**t SOCOM 14.5" barrel (C MP roll marked)
C**t BCG (C roll marked w/MPC marked bolt)
KAC M4 RAS w/ Vero beach rail covers (Thoroughbred)
A.R.M.S. 38-EX swan sleeve
Aimpoint Comp M2 (WetWorx)
A.R.M.S. 22M68 mount
Insight PEQ-2 (Wet Worx)
Surefire 6P w/UU06 tailcap pressure switch
LMT M203 40MM launcher (Rooftop Defense)

Lower parts list:
C**t N1 stock
C**t A2 grip
C**t 4 position buffer tube
C**t H2 buffer and spring
Redi-mag Gen 1
Arizona Regulator 3 position FRT
Kong Mfg lower receiver

Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Great seeing at Clone Shoot today. Kevin won our lower receiver giveaway at last year's event. He said he was going to use it for a build made entirely of parts bought from vendors at Clone Shoot, and he did just that. I believe he said the other parts were from .0, , and , with a suppressor from tucked under the handguard.

Awesome to see the support for these companies, and the build that came from our giveaway. Thanks for stopping by Kevin, and thanks for letting us shoot it.

Finished up the Wi******er Model 12 trench gun. They weren't OD green in WW2, but I'd argue they should've been. I think the green with the wood, leather, and black heat shield looks great. And we all know, the most important thing when shooting is looking good.

Work in progress pics.

Picked up this Wi******er Model 12 takedown at a gun show a few months back with the intent of turning it into a trench/riot gun. Serial number dates it to 1951.

Barrel chopped, heat shield fitted, mag tube end cap modified... Still need to install the rear sling swivel and fit the bayonet lug to the actual bayonet.

Definitely not a compact package like we'd think of for CQB type guns nowadays, but it got the job done from WW1 through Vietnam, and there's just something about slam-firing 6 rounds of 00 buck that puts a smile on your face.

Something a little different for us. sent us a few boxes worth of parts and pieces and said make me something cool. This is what we came up with.

Notos .22 cal air gun
grip adapter
alpha stock
moe-k grip
4-12
matte clear over custom airbrush iguana camo paint job

First air gun we've ever built, so it was a learning experience. We think it came out pretty awesome. What do you all think?

Good hunting . Post pics of your first kill with it and make sure to tag us.

Today is a day to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Here's a 1911 we recent customized for a local Marine Corps veteran of GWOT. He was a Master EOD tech, and recieved the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.

Navy EOD MK18, meet... I dunno... EOD MK18 Block 2? Space Force EOD MK18? Whatever you wanna call it, it came out pretty sweet.
