Don't think so. This guy is holding his weapon at the front of the 
receiver area/the magazine feed lip (maybe with a few fingers on the 
mag), and the weapon is about half way between the standard over and 
under combat rifle and most of the sniper weapons I've seen. I didn't 
see any signs of camo cloth wrapped around the forestock because 
there does not seem to be one. The barrel seems to exit the receiver 
group and extend to a large flash hider/muzzle break  but appears to 
not have any forestock attached - the barrel is free hanging. If it 
helps, his right shoulder is kind of leaned forwards. And my 
description of the weapon was a little off, it points not at his left 
foot, but about (in scale) about 6-8' out from it (it's at about a 45 
degree angle). So I'm still at a loss to who this guy is. 

I'm looking on the geohex homepage....

Now, take the guy on the far right, and put a very different looking
rifle in his hands and you'll pretty much have the figure I'm looking 
for.

It might? be a GL of some type - the flash hider/muzzle break is big. 
But I thought that was just for sturdiness.

If you have any other ideas?

I don't have my 2300 handy, but I will check. I am pretty sure the 
fringe around his neck is the fur lining, and he looks like he might 
be wearing a thicker jacket than some of the others. So, Squad leader 
he is.	Thanks! Do you know the catalog #?

Plus on a third guy, who is standing figure with what looks like a 
SAW slung over his right shoulder (think he has a helmet on), the 
weapon kind of disappears under the right arm at the bottom, but the 
top part sure looks like an M60 kind of SAW (rather than like the 
long wierd looking they've given the other mercs who're firing them) 
or maybe a Mossberg bullpup shotgun front end. I'm not sure if it is 
a saw or a combat shotgun. I'd have guessed (based on other SAWS I've 
seen the OU figures with) that it was a SAW, but the sling he's got 
on it (over his right shoulder) has what looks like loops for 12 
gauge shells - which would have no place on a SAW. So is it a 
shotgun? Or some other third creation? 

Thanks for the info. These are excellent figures. I just want to know 
which ones are which so I can order more!
