Thats strange, it looks like a 16", but I dont see the foreward rail of a Socom 16 or the 4 rail frontend of the Socom II. Is this how you bought it? is it new?
It looks like a Socom II with the 4-rail removed and a GI handguard installed.
Lately, I've been really tempted by a Scout Squad. I don't want any of those rails(maybe a scope eventually), but the rifle has appeal.
Honestly, I'm sold on the slogan: Bring Enough Gun. I just bought a shirt with that on it, along with a picture of the rifle.
It was this one!:
I think I'm going to go put it on.
I have a Socom II, and want to replace the stock with GI walnut myself.
I would like a full length top rail though. but the S.A. is just an extended version of the clunky 4 rail system.
I suppose I'll just settle for one of the rails that use the stripper clip guide and bolts to the side of the receiver...I plan on mounting a red dot sight of some kind because my 45+ year old eyes just cant see well enough to use the irons anymore.
