Crap Game

I got to see the Urban Camo Challengers during the last Allied Forces Day Parade I was in, June 1989. Driving from the Brandenburg Gate towards the Siegesaule, the urban camo appeared out of place against the green trees of the Tiergarten. I didn't get to see them using your Ruhleben MOUT training area or our Doughboy City MOUT site.

I needed an M240B and M2HB for a 5SFG M1081 LVAD War Pig conversion. I priced demil parts on Gunbroker and eBay and discovered it is cheaper to just buy an airsoft version than to build a dummy from scrap. I originally had a $1400 Inokatsu FN MAG58 on my 1984 Bombardier Iltis 3RCR Recce, aluminum side plates, etc, riveted construction, Correct grey parkerized steel color with black anodized aluminum parts. Had the FN long flash suppressor, wood stock, but milled-style feed cover and Minimi-style gas adjustment instead of the MAG58 3-way gas selector/piston. I found an A&K/Classic Army new style M240B to be imported by evike.com, https://www.evike.com/products/50809/ Between a new customer coupon and Christmas discount I wound up getting it for $487 shipped. Pig arrived about 2 weeks later. Pebbled plastic buttstock, milled feed cover with Mil-1917 rail, top barrel heatshield, Mil-1917 rails bolted to gas tube, orange plastic M16A1 flash suppressor, all metal in black enameled finish instead of parkerized steel grey like the Inokatsu was. Receiver appears to be made from aluminum plates, feels substantial enough to remove the airsoft guts to run a propane/O2 system. M240B goes on a custom LMTV Mount/Swing Army/Cradle made by the original mfg, MilSysGroup.com for the Co-Driver/TC/Navigator. Now I need an M2HB to mount in a Mk93 Mount on the truck bed. I considered USRGC at first ($1479 base price), but by time I add a real M2HB Barrel Support, Rear Sight Assy, Retracting Side Plate Assy, it becomes rather pricey. D&B, I like the Retracting Side Plates I see you had milled.
