Delta Force - Colt Model 723 (Clone, semi-WIP)

A2 Upper with Field Sights (A1E1/C7)*

Colt Commercial A2 Lower*

Lone Star Ordnance Stowaway 2 Grip

Oldgen Boonie Packer/Johnson Redi-Mag Mk.1

Colt 'N1' Retractable Buttstock w/ John Masen Recoil Pad and Cherokee CAR15 Cheek Riser

M4 Profile Barrel w/ 6-Hole 'Skinny' Handguards

Custom 'Gangster Grip' with Oldgen Surefire Laser Products 660 Light

Aimpoint 5000 w/ Leupold Vertical Split Rings, Modified MGW Carry Handle Scope Base

AIM-1/D Designator (IR Laser) on PAQ-4 M16A1/A2 Mounting Bracket

OD General Purpose Strap, Modified with Paracord Loops

*This upper is from Tony's Customs and is somewhat of a placeholder while I'm waiting to receive a more clone-correct one with Colt proofmarks and no forge marking.

*Technically, my lower is a Colt Match Target lower and not a true Commercial M16A2, but it still has the correct A2 buffer tower profile and the Redi-Mag hides all sins.

Setup accurate for the 1993-1996 period.

Thomas Greer (aka 'Dalton Fury') seen on the right. He also has a Knight's Armament RIS Forend from Delta M4A1 packages installed on his rifle.

Also interesting to note the rifles both operators have in this photo aren't the usual Colt Model 723's Delta was known for using, but instead are Olympic Arms CAR-AR Rifles that have been retrofitted for simunitions use (as indicated by the clear magazines and blue components). Delta likely only procured these for training use and were never intended for combat.

Above: Olympic Arms CAR-AR. Note the Rapidex rear sight windage knob, shorter barrel, and XM177-style faux moderator consistent with the rifles in the photo.

The polymer XM177-style buttstocks could also on occasion be seen on some of Delta's early M4A1 rifles, though I'm not sure why operators would make the choice to swap them out as the Colt N1 Fiberlite stocks were much higher quality, and the CAR-AR stocks were also only sized for commercial buffer tubes, meaning they would fit sloppy on the buffer tubes of M4A1's.

Above: Members of C-Squadron and their early M4A1 Carbines with custom Armalite Fiberglass FF Tube Handguards, c.1996-1998. The operator at left has an Olympic Arms CAR-AR Stock on his rifle, as indicated by the lack of two 'ribs' along the body of the tube.

As a final note, it appears both men are wearing the AWS Protective Vest (aka 'Direct Action Trauma Body Armor'), which while around in the late 90's, Delta did not adopt until at least 2000.

Between 1996-1999 the unit would have been using the Point Blank PBPV and leftover supplies of T.G. Faust NATO SF Body Armor from the 1980's.

This detail dates the photo OP posted to at least the early 2000's and not the mid-90's.

Above: Point Blank PBPV (left) and AWS Protective Vest (right). Almost completely identical at first glance. Small changes in the construction of the cummerbunds and the edges of the vests denote the difference. Source: crapshoot_surplus (Instagram)
