I just stumbled across a post by Dr. Roberts on another forum where he references the Recce as the SPR-D. I've also found a July 2002 solicitation by NSWDG for a variety of weapon parts including barrels specifically identified as being for the M4A1 Recon Rifle. —

I'd like to see a picture for this weapon. —

There are some good pics here:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=134&t=147029 of a commercial clone of the recce rifle by MSTN. While they're not official crane division rifles, they're more or less the same. Also, most of the rifles out of crane are custom-builds for the individual operator that just follow the same basic formula (14 in. Lilja stainless steel barrel, KAC RAS or Larue Tac handguard, M16 or M4 lower and KAC flash hider) so there is no one Recon rifle.— Preceding

Crane never made the "recce" guns for operators in DG, they had nothing to do with its development. It was all in house.

Thats the wrong picture, thats a mk12 mod 1, as confirmed in Marcus Luttrells book lone survivor. The recon rifle was exclusive to Development Group.
