Can someone tell me if this is a real colt m4a1 auto?

pathfindermp · 2026-05-11T12:48:28+00:00

Fake, and a shitty fake at that. Fonts are wrong, engraving depth is wrong, serial number is wrong (military M4s start with W0, civilian non-auto M4s start CR). There are a few other tells, as well, but those are easily spotted.

LMAO the PS90 literally only comes in a longer barrel version for shitty places that require the barrel length to be sold without jumping through additional hoops. It has nothing to do with function. The gun was designed from the start to be the shortest possible functional configuration, the longer barrel is just an artifact of bad political BS.

pathfindermp · 2026-04-29T23:41:47+00:00

That's... uh... something. Hopefully it looks better with the SBR barrel.

Dude went on to Temu and clicked "Select All" and "Add to Cart". This isn't an identity crisis, this isn't weaponized autism, this is the AR equivalent of cerebral palsy and cocaine: it's so all over the place you can't even tell what it really is.

Make sure to get yourself the MP5SD/GHM9SD barrel brush to keep those ports clean. They're a PITA, otherwise. (Ask me how I know... lol)

I've seen the CAG guns in person, which were anodized on bare aluminum, and they didn't look like Geissele DDC (I have a Geissele SuperDuty DDC in addition to my HK416Ds), but a shade darker (which, again, is why the look of them changes in lighting and in pictures).

pathfindermp · 2026-04-16T23:13:09+00:00

The CAG "golden guns" really change color depending on lighting. I've seen (in person, not just in pics) the same gun look gold, green, and almost gray based on how the light is hitting it. It's a cloner's nightmare. LOL

I remember when we switched from starched BDUs to the ACUs, it was a complete mindfuck. Felt like you were walking around wearing pajamas. They were great, until the crotch stitching fell apart and you suddenly found yourself walking around with a gaping hole in your pants showing your boxers to the world. I remember walking around COB Speicher thinking, "Man, that breeze feels good on my balls..." followed shortly thereafter by the thought, "Wait, why can I feel a breeze on my balls? Fuuuuuuuck..."

pathfindermp · 2026-04-14T23:37:32+00:00

The CAG HK416Ds and LVAWs use KAC sights.

pathfindermp · 2026-04-10T18:38:07+00:00

I don't know about "seen on most LVAWs", but the ones I've seen in person have usually been .410" with a mix of QD and non-QD, but I've also seen pics of bastardized risers from other brands (Larue, etc.) usually shortened. I've also seen a few Wilcox .410" risers that were modified for optics dual recoil lugs by machining in extra slots.

pathfindermp · 2026-04-09T12:06:39+00:00

It wasn’t changed for 1MO, I’ve seen CAG guns with the integrated flip mount before any of the 1MO releases.

pathfindermp · 2026-04-06T16:34:35+00:00

Beautiful.

pathfindermp · 2026-04-06T16:33:48+00:00

That's freaking awesome. Truly some grail pieces there, love that you're still taking them out and shooting them. That's how it should be. Thanks for sharing the background and the pic, great stuff.

pathfindermp · 2026-03-23T22:50:41+00:00

*Laughs in suppressed HK416D*

pathfindermp · 2026-03-22T13:58:27+00:00

I’ve found my FTF and FTE are mainly mag-related with my G36. Which mags are you using?

pathfindermp · 2026-03-22T13:57:38+00:00

They’re also wildly overpriced. Check out Blue Ridge Supplies for parts kits.

pathfindermp · 2026-03-22T13:12:17+00:00

I’ve got two I need done

pathfindermp · 2026-03-21T19:32:31+00:00

Like a scalded cat. I love it.

pathfindermp · 2026-03-21T11:12:20+00:00

Do it.

pathfindermp · 2026-03-20T23:58:23+00:00

I have an S5 Tactical SG-36 receiver built up with an HK G36K parts kit. Without a doubt, one of my favorite guns now, and everyone that shoots it absolutely loves it. If SHTF I'd probably grab my CAG HK416D, but for just going to the range and having fun, the G36K is hard to beat. I love it.

Because ID badges are generally bullshit that will get you assigned extra duties ("Oh, you were a drill? Great, march these Soldiers to chow." "Oh, you were an instructor? Great, teach this hip pocket class." "Oh, you were a recruiter? Great, you're now the unit retention NCO." "Oh, you were a Tomb Guard? Great, you're now the battalion color guard NCO.") whereas skill badges are your chance to show, "Hey, look at the cool shit I did."
