Awesome pics! One question did spring to mind:
I heard Garand thumb on his latest video that the M4 SOPMOD Block II is about to phased out... and Im like hang on, Im still seeing army and navy guys running around with the Block one, including Colt M4's with KAC rails, fixed front sight posts, standard stocks, ACOGs, M203's QD suppressors and standard bird cage flash hiders. Not just Marines but army too. Was he maybe referring to the SOCOM community?

Supposedly M-27 is replacing M-4 in USMC infantry units. The M-4 remains for support Marine units and US Army, etc.
