Hey! A M4! Update

No, not one of these silly.




One of these:























Suzi, although the elder sister to Charline was having an inferiority complex. So, we helped her self esteem. Best I could do without spending a boat load of money, a period correct Bayonet. An M-4. With an M-8A1 scabbard to boot! 























































Suzi's self esteem just got bumped a notch up! 

Hopefully this will stop the sibling wars! 

I was tasked by a friend last night to do better on my pictures here. I hope I have done so with these! She keeps me on my toes to be sure!   

So some critic runs in and tells me I should have put a magazine in for the glamor shot. Sheesh. Everyone IS a critic huh?

  5. I'm of the opinion that for completeness, one simply MUST have the attendant pig-sticker that was provided for each rifle, it belongs to the rifle - and that's a nice one!
