Just because you have the tools...

where does the potion of the carbine tube with the detent recesses fit?

Edit: nevermind, I figured it out. Thx

I honestly don't know how it works... never owned one, I just heard about them on AR15.com when someone was wanting to run an A2 stock on their bushmaster carbine from a while ago. I'm guessing since the detent is in the lower itself you just use it... but who knows anymore.

BBI, Is the stock the same? The a2 stock is longer and has a different contour than the a1.

Uhhh, I dunno. It looks like an M-16 stock, and I don't know enough about the differences to say for sure...but it sure looks like the one I had in the Army. Also it has a brass deflector. Again, not a big AR guy, but isn't that a sign of an A2 upper? Still has the real slow twist rate barrel, though. Like I said, its been refurbed with A2 parts.

No, I meant the telestock detects which are in the part that sticks out from a carbine tube. The more I think about it, the more I can't see how it would possibly work. The contour of an a2 tube/stock cutout is round and nothing like the more keyhole carbine.

I don't have an a2 laying around at present, but I'm not seeing how a carbine tube can fit into an a2 stock as the profile of the tube is totally different.

The A1 has the windage only for the rear sight adjustment. The A2 has windage and elevation on the rear sight. The AR in the photo has the fully adjustable rear sight.

Here's a Spike's spacer. Use as a spacer when using carbine length buffers/springs in rifle length tubes.

Another example of "just because you have the right tools"

doesn't mean you can solder copper pipe either! ..... OUCH

It is posed, the mag isn't what makes it weird, like you mentioned, the EoTech infront of and obsrtucted by the carry handle is what struck me as odd.

Yep.

Lots of fail in that pic, probably the ugliest AR I have ever seen. Lets just thank God that his booger hooker isn't on the bang switch.

You guys seem to forget that MOST cops are not "gun" people. They treat them the same way a carpenter treats his hammer. As long as it goes bang, that's all they care about. Sure, we all know that using the red dot on a non-FF HG is not an ideal situation, but for the rifles intended purpose, it only has to be "minute-of-man" at 10 yards or so...

I mean it's funny to us, but no one outside of our clique would even notice stuff like that.

The REAL issue is the supposed need to have line officers with FA/military equipment. The über-militarization of our police departments is the real issue here.

And lets be clear, I'm not saying that there shouldn't be special teams that have the training to utilize and project that extreme force, however it seems that the powers that be would like to see every officer with full auto and full on assault gear...

I get the part about police having to go up against better armed criminals today, and all of that. But I can't help but feel that a lot of police departments are using all of this as an excuse to become more militarized. We're seeing it everywhere, along with far too many of these "no knock warrants" being issued by cops getting there in the middle of the night in Max Pro vehicles. Power is the most addictive narcotic that exists. A lot of these departments need to be reeled in. It's getting way out of hand.
