One of the most requested modern figures has been an up to date US Marine and Soldier Story has again delivered complete with the latest gear and the long awaited M16A4.

The USMC has the mantra "every Marine is a rifleman" and while most other branches have gone to the M4 Carbine, the USMC has adopted the M16A4. While it does have some advantages in increased bullet velocity with its longer barrel, many Devil Dogs long for the shorter and lighter M4 Carbine.

Soldier Story gives a full kit with this release. Here is a shot of the dump pouch. The dump pouch has become a staple of the modern warfighter as it provides a place to retain mags as well as quickly stowe gear.

Notice that light shape in the Safariland holster? Looks like it is for a railed Beretta M9A1.

The ACOG scope features a killflash grid, and small red dot optic as well as the "dummy cord". Smart Marines tie their optic to the rifle in case it should become dislodged.

The USMC has adopted the Multipurpose Bayonet. While bayonet use is almost non existent these days, it also provides a field and combat knife.

The pack comes with extra straps that allow it to be taken off the body armor vest and secured as a shoulder bag for hanging around inside the wire or as a go bag.

Another awesome pair of Soldier Story boots. Notice the USMC Eagle Globe and Anchor on the heel.

As mentioned, the 1/6th world has been screaming for a M16A4 and Soldier Story did not disappoint. Their tooling is among the best in the business and this M16A4 is well equipped.

The holster for the Beretta is the new Safariland MLS which enables the holster to be quickly reconfigured.
