XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

[USMCSGT0331]

I received my XM3 today! I added a new Eagle Industries stock pack and the following USMC used takeoff items - S&B M8541 SSDS scope, Badger Ordnance scope rings, SureFire FA762SS silencer, and Harris bipod. I have a PVS-22 for the rifle as well, but I did feel the need to photograph it on the rifle. I've seen one photo of a possible DT turret S&B used on an XM3, but it's not the sharpest photo. Both scopes were used at the same time, so it's a possible combination. I'm pretty excited about this one!

Congratulations! Being able to own an XM-3 is the dream. Actual issued rifle, purpose built, that was doing God's work.

@USMCSGT0331 That scope is totally NON-correct for that rifle! I’ll be generous and trade you my NXS 3-15 for it. Just because I’m such a nice guy.

Not going to lie I was hoping he was going to put a Tan Short Dot on it

I don't know, the scope seems pretty correct to me, lol:

Do I look like I'm BG Defense with ridiculously overpriced, incorrect, no-name "XM3" knockoffs!?

Jokes on you, after the next MSSHF rifle raffle I'm leaving the forums, and you'll still be stuck with that crappy rifle!

I think it would be ridiculous if I put an M5 DBM and other current stuff on my surplus CMP XM3. I'll call it an XM3 Mod 2 and confuse the hell out of future collectors when they come across my posts, lol.
