I really like the HK sights. I swapped the rear drum from the 416 version to one from a G3. The 416 was correct for the barrel length and sight radius but I found I prefer the open V of the G3 on the 100m setting. The aim point and front sight make for a great improvised ghost ring if the dot isn’t visible from being on the wrong setting or washed out from the light or whatever. I feel like I’m able to pick the dot up faster with the fixed front sight too. |

Oddly enough I'm starting to get there too. I was in this "wont shoot a center fire without one" phase, and I'm clear of it now.
Just been a pain to get qd adapters, or thread adapters, so now, my precision ar wears the can,and my 16" carry handle carbine will just have an a2 fh for now. |

My collection isn't nearly as impressive as many member's here. I have a good moonlighting gig doing hand drawn architectural renderings, home portraits, rifle portraits, slaps, (patches soon hopefully), etc. That's helped me fund this hobby. I don't play video games anymore or watch sports in the evenings. After the wife and kids go to bed, I start working again. I've accumulated what I have over the past decade using extra income. Subscribing to the 3 hobbies way of life has also helped; Everyone should have one hobby that makes them healthy, one hobby that makes them money, and one hobby that's purely for fun. I run (or at least I did before kid #3), I draw, I build/shoot guns. That's all...well, I don't know if drinking alcohol is considered a hobby, I'll lump that in with the art hobby. Back on track: Not mine, but I put this go to rifle together and painted it this weekend for my bro in law: It's his first and only AR at the moment. Didn't give him the Elcan, but I zeroed it in, painted it for him and threw in a couple new 30 round pmags, and 80 rounds of ammo. I have a spare bushnell TRS 25 that I'm going to order a riser for and then I'll give him that next time I see him. Also need to get him an ambi safety as he's a lefty. Other manipulations aren't difficult, but an ambi safety is a huge improvement for a left handed operations IMO. Told him he needed to buy a case of ammo when it comes back down and 8 more mags. We can work on the handguard/weapon light/sling setup later. It's zeroed and he has two full mags for HD, that's a solid start. |

I was going to try a Thorntail Inline Mount, but was unsure if they did allow proper clearance for use of D-BaL's. I'm glad to know they do. That being said. With the newest offerings of M Series WML's from Surefire including such a vast array of possible positions, I believe these mounts will mostly be unnecessary. I JUST ORDERED AN SF M340C. It would work perfectly on my 10" MK4 Federal Rail, but unfortunately I purchased it for My 12-5 SIX8 LMT Build.

Another funny issue with the Steiner D-BaL. They do not clear Steiner's own WML offering. I had a Steiner MK4 that came with it's own mount. It would not come close to allowing for use of a Steiner D-BaL...One would think Steiner would take that into consideration seeing as they are the current purveyors of both products...

Yhm buis, PA 30mm optic and magnifier (which has been flawless through trunk gun duty and competition) and a TLR-1 light. It's not much, but this setup has served well for several years. Attached File |
