i have this gun and it appears as though the top rails are permanent.  they look "riveted" to the weapon. i bought a very expensive sight for the gun and it will not mount because the rails are in the way. can the rails be taken off and top of stock changed??

@beenschmokin I have seen a couple of Socom IIs with the rails removed. I would just trade for the SOCOM. It is a cross between the SOCOM II and Scout squad. The SOCOM a rail in the Scout position.

Good rifle, good review, bad intro music.

[sunfloweroutdoor]

@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Thanks. The intro music is suppose to make you laugh. Hopefully we succeeded and you laughed versus bleeding from the ears.

Maybe some of you can point this out to me, but I'm failing to see it. What are the major differences between the Socom II and the Socom 16. The way I see it you are really only getting a heavy rail system that in my opinion is needlessly bulky. I love that you get the TM. Being in the Army I think that's hilarious.

Keep up the good work Sunflower, we need someone posting interesting videos other than Nutnfancy just to shake things up every now and then.

@SgtSly Thank you so much for your service to our Great Country! Your right the rails add about one extra pound to the rifle but you can take the side and bottom rails off if weight is an issue. My motto is I would rather have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. Thanks so much for your support and hope you have fun watching the videos.

id put a 2x scope with bipod bro or just slap a eotech on that bitch

[AonGuardian]

Beautiful weapon system. Thanks for the videos!

the rails on the socom 2 are not permanent.

[jtschau]

"Zombie in the dark" LOL. But if you can see the zombie, shouldn't you be able to see the front sight? By the same token, if you can't see the front sight, then how will you see the zombie?

hey u mite like the m1a vltor stock better

[MrJohnboy1911]

@SgtSly i have been told that the socom II has a different type of gas block that is suppose to work better. i'm not 100% sure on that though. that is what was relayed to me by others here on youtube.

[ManofWarMickey]

its looks like the top rail interferes with the sights...is this true?? love the rifle want one so bad

[Striarii]

"to find a zombie in the dark" MY GOD THATS PERFECT !!!.. thank you so much for this review. I was looking for a rifle that is made by a company that tries to impress more than make monies. ANNNDDD for a rifle perfect for zombie hunting.... after winter is over the zombies will thaw out of their frozen tombs from where they got stuck b4 it started snowing :P
