I agree with Commando - That doesn't look to be a real moderator but rather the phony seen on Colt CARs which were strictly cosmetic and, as Commando said, permanently welded to make it legal length. I also agree with the base gun being very likely an OA given the Stowaway grip and A1E1 receiver, so I guess it's an OA rifle fitted with a CAR-style barrel.

Although I'm wondering if it's actually some kind of dummy since the trigger looks filled in. Hard to tell with that picture though.

That said, that's kinda lame to be passed off as an M4 but I guess you make do with what you can get.. Still would be nice if they could be a bit closer there.

Also the top left, which I figure they might call an M16A2 isn't that but an A1 fitted with A2 handguards.

Yup, that's an A2 with A2 handguards. And did you see the Cobray flare launcher on the M16A2 below it? They're calling that rifle a "AR15 HBAR" or something.

What kind of broke dick war memorial can't even get their hands on surplus, much less of items not in current issue? I imagine there's like a million CAR-15's and M16's sitting in crates in some warehouse somewhere, gubmint ought to kick them a few

Went up to my deer camp with some friends for a bachelor party-ish thing, since my friend is getting married next weekend, spend a large chunk of Saturday shooting. Figured some stuff out because this is the first time I'd REALLY shot since my injury and acquisition of new stuff

Model 39 runs 100% fine, love it

LCP runs fine, and I can shoot okay with it. Definitely not too small

The holster that the shop I worked for had made for me works fine with my S&W autos; I'm quite faster on the draw than anticipated, too

I BADLY need to practice because I cannot shoot the same way I used to. I get tired quickly now, and bracing myself in a solid shooting stance now might lessen my ability to breathe freely. This and some minor shaking, and the lack of practice, mean I could definitely put someone in the ground if I had to but my groups and such are TERRIBLE

Holding up a rifle isn't hard anymore, but I can't do so for as long as before

I'm a bad shot with plain black sights, best off with 3 dot like on my FNX and 4506

There is no comfortable way for me to hold and aim my Parker Hale or Mosin, now; it wasn't ideal before, but barely workable now

All the dry-run mag changes I've been doing are paying off, can swap my handgun mags quickly without fumbling even if I'm out of breath, in pain, and starting to overheat

My SKS-D is impossible to reload on a full mag, totally forgot

After about 600 + rounds through my AR on top of piss poor cleaning to see how good it is, a buddy of mine got a malfunction in it finally. Though he was new to ARs and didn't check to see if it was clear before handing it back to me.

I have finished sorting through my father's gun collection and all of the assorted parts and pieces. I am going to sell three of the handguns and three of the rifles. That's it. The rest I'm keeping (I'm an only child) and my kids are getting a couple pieces that they want. Even before dad passed my collection was approximately twice the size of dad's. Now it's even bigger. When my time comes either my wife or the kids are going to have one heck of a job going through it. Something to think about guys.
