The article about the Ft Bragg sniper competition says yes.
"The ATF snipers pulled Enrique Alvarez from the helicopter and carried him down the street. They then hoisted the 42-year-old role player from San Diego - who actually lost his left leg in a fight 15 years ago - into the rear of the Humvee."
Found that in your post http://www.shadowspear.com/vb/threa...h-competition-at-fort-bragg.8342/#post-109933 . I'm thinking that's the actual guy.

Ravage- The Mk13 is a bit of a mess in mine and some folks opinions...

1. It has a facory trigger, two thumbs down.
2. It has a nice Lilja barrel, thumbs up. Then they machine it down to fit a suppressor- they take material off the most important part of the barrel, the last 6-8 inches or so, making itt perform like a tapered barrel than a bull barrel- no good.
3. AI stock, awesome, but I'd take a better trigger and barrel and keep the factory stock- it's easy to make a cheek piece out of sam splints and tape, I can't make a barrel.

I've experience with AI 308. We used the S&B 6 x 42 but we're soon getting the 338 with 12x50. Excellent platform.
