DoD inspectors signed for the scopes, as is. It belongs to the DoD, now. In the Army, once you sign for something, it's your's; along with the good, the bad, the ugly, the broke and whatever components are missing.
I like it. As soon as my loan officer OKs it I'm going to order one with MAT5:44I have an idea! All the PC'ers that are hacked off over this, should show their outrage by not buying Trijicon rifle scopes.
nope. check the FAR under latent defects
the inspectors have only to present that they were not aware that was religious inscription, thinking it was instead production nomenclature
I would think that you would know that that is not a rifle.Civilians can still put whatever they want on their rifles, though, right? Good....
i did a stint as my companys' armory custodian; i've probably handled at least a thousand RCO's and ACOG's. I never noticed this at all; I'll have to look next time.
If so, then I like this. A nice touch on the part of Trijicon.
but for MOUT i'd still rather have an EOTECH
The scopes work exactly as they are supposed to - and thus, they are not defective.it's federal procurement 101
when the contractor supplies something that is defective....
Ya know, I've been involved in long range, precision shooting for about 3 years now and have owned everything from a Leupold Mk 4 to a Night Force 8-25x50 and I still shoot better with open sights out to 500 yards.
People generally do not realize how precise and accurate iron sights can be out to 500, 600, even 1000 yards -- even with service-class rifles. Man0sized targets at those ranges are of little issue under competition conditions.Ya know, I've been involved in long range, precision shooting for about 3 years now and have owned everything from a Leupold Mk 4 to a Night Force 8-25x50 and I still shoot better with open sights out to 500 yards.
...as if someone would actually choose or alter their religious preference based on the serial number on a gunsight... who cares?
In all practicality, It helped me memorize the serial number on mine when it was issued to me.
The only upside to this-- if they are decommissioned and taxpayer dollars are spent to get sights without the biblical references, I can get one of the decommissioned pieces for cheap as military surplus. :2razz:
Two questions:
1. Does the USMC allow you to perches your own accessories? I know there was some hubbub about body armor a while back, but if you had a preference for a grip or a light, is there some leeway to buy your own?
2. (kind of off-topic) Does the USMC currently use the Land Warrior System, plan to use it, or is the USMC developing their own?
No, and as far as their plans I don't know. Whatever the case, its a bureaucracy and such decisions are liable to change with whatever way the wind blows.
I just thought that since the Army is borrowing from the USMC for their new Class-A, that the Army might repay the USMC with the Land Warrior System
