Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I've watched it 3 times, loved it each time Pic thread: http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae213/Will816/20cafbc4.jpg I like it a lot. It's a good option for something similar to the Elcan Specter but a lot cheaper. The methods and feel of shooting with it are actually extremely similar to the Elcan. They did unfortunately raise the price recently to something like $1100, and I don't think it's worth that, but the original pricing of around $600 was excellent for what you get out of it. I wouldn't mind a more complex reticle (I think they actually have an optional BDC reticle now) but other than that its great. It lives on a Colt Competition Rifle for the time being but will need to find a new home when I get a Mark 6 1-6x for that rifle. I think it's a robust do-it-all optic, don't think I'll ever get rid of it. |

Can some of you who are really familiar with Elcan's help me out a little? I found a few in the FDE color, and they were new and shrink wrapped from Elcan, but... the finish looks a little uneven and they have the commercial reticle. Anyone know the story behind these?

Elcan released a limited amount of FDE optics with the commercial reticle this year. From what I understand FDE is very hard to get anodizing to match so that would account for the color variations.

Obviously as they don't have the "SOCOM reticule" and aren't contract overruns, they're not marked "SU-230/PVS."

Also, the commercial reticule instead of the "SOCOM reticule" turns potential buyers like me off, who could care less about the markings, but wanted the FDE version for the cleaner, crisper, and more familiar (and non-machine gun) reticule. ~Augee |

Glad I got mine before the overruns got overrun.
It'd be nice if I knew I could buy more if I ever won the lottery, though. ~Augee |

Thanks, I can't wait to get it! It may not be an SU-230 but for the price it's hard to beat. I'll give it a good look over and post more pics of the finish so others can see. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Sorry, not meaning to imply that the limited run FDE ones are or should be a failure, like I said, I'm honestly not sure whether they're flying off the shelves, selling at the same rate as the black/gray ones, or rotting in dealer stocks. An almost $2,000 is almost always going to be a slow seller (though Ken at Kerif might not have thought so a year ago ). I'm nevertheless quite glad they offered it, if nothing else, it shows that Raytheon sees and hears the civilian market and is willing to be responsive if enough people seem to want something (take a close look, L3! Class I PEQ-15!).
I was just offering reasons it might not be as successful as simply releasing more "SOF Overrruns." ~Augee |

I'll give them a concession that they may have had to operate at capacity to produce the number of those suckers (and the PEQ-16) that the military wanted, so that may be a factor in not seeing a civilian product, and also is the fact that it may not be as simple as dropping Class I diodes into the existing circuits and housings, as is evident in the difference between the DBAL-D2 and and the PEQ-15A (DBAL-A2). But the fact remains: if Insight made a Class 1 product that looked and operated like a PEQ-15, they would likely fly off the shelves! |

And the fact that any SU-230s are all going to be second hand at this point if you want one. The fact that this one was in FDE and brand new is what made me jump on one when they recently came out. I wonder if others have felt similar? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Here is my humble build as it sits, I just need to decide on an optic and a different light mount.
Sorry for the crappy picture, the lighting sucks. I’ll have a better one tomorrow. 
Specs: Colt LE6920 “M4 Carbine” (Base Gun) Colt SOCOM 14.5 in. barrel DD RIS II KAC NT4 flash hider ( pinning/spacer by ADCO ) LMT SOPMOD Gen. 1 BCM/VLTOR Gunfighter Mod. 4 CH Tango Down BG-16 KAC taupe front sight KAC 200m-600m micro MagPul AFG ( haters gonna hate )
CQD sling mount BFG VCAS padded sling w/ MASH hook and cover Surefire M600C w/ KX2C head I’m trying to figure out which optic and offset light mount to go with. I’ve narrowed it down to: Optic: a.) Aimpoint T-1/H-1 2MOA version b.) EoTech 553 Tan Light Mount: a.) Larue offset mount b.)Gear Sector offset mount Any suggestions? I know he optics are going to come down to personal choice, and I plan on at least looking through each one. I’m leaning towards the Aimpoint, but since I’ll be doing quite a bit of hog hunting with this, I’m not sure the single 2MOA dot will perform as well as the EoTech against moving targets. |

I had an aimpoint on my fsp block 2, went to a 553, shot with it twice and sold it to go back to an aimpoint.
Go play with both if you can and see which reticle you like, for me the circle got too much in the way but others swear by it . Hope that helps. |

Is $350.00 a good price for a RIS II FSB ? |

CQD sling mount BFG VCAS padded sling w/ MASH hook and cover Surefire M600C w/ KX2C head I’m trying to figure out which optic and offset light mount to go with. I’ve narrowed it down to: Optic: a.) Aimpoint T-1/H-1 2MOA version b.) EoTech 553 Tan Light Mount: a.) Larue offset mount b.)Gear Sector offset mount Any suggestions? I know he optics are going to come down to personal choice, and I plan on at least looking through each one. I’m leaning towards the Aimpoint, but since I’ll be doing quite a bit of hog hunting with this, I’m not sure the single 2MOA dot will perform as well as the EoTech against moving targets. What part if tx are you in? You're welcome to try my t1 2 moa. |

Just a heads up if anyone is looking for a fde ris II fsp there is one in the EE for 315 nib. I would snag it if I didn't need an optic for my 1.5 =/

I'm getting dang impatient waiting for DD to put out more M4A1 RIS II's in FDE for my custom build thru them.
I'm getting close to saying screw it, picking up a factory Noveske, and dressing it up in the FDE accessories I've had laying around for the Block II I've been waiting for.

Yea Brownell's said earliest would be December. I couldn't handle the wait so I purchased a complete upper from another forum member. |

I've been told by DD that parts for their custom builds take top priority, so I'd imagine some will be available thru them directly before Brownells. I put in a call to the guy I've been dealing with at DD earlier, and am waiting to hear back from him. If he says I can expect my rifle in the next couple weeks, I'll wait. If not, I'm gonna pick up a complete Noveske. |

Well, DD is telling me they should be able to start custom building me a rifle with a RIS II in FDE by late next week.
Or I can snag one of these tomorrow: Click I think I'll hold out for the DD, but I've got $2,500 burning a hole in my pocket, and a factory Noveske would also be a nice addition.

Anyone tried one of the Micor flash suppressors yet?
I just picked one up, they look pretty similar to the KAC M4QD comp minus the helical ports that are supposedly matched to the barrel twist. Not sure I buy the whole "increasing accuracy" bit, but the Vortex helical tines seem to work pretty well for the flash suppression bit, and the Micors are little longer (say, about .2") than the M4QD, and should get a barrel up to 16" if permanently pinned, and are supposedly compatible with the NT4, though unfortunately I won't be able to test that theory for several many months. 
Might be a good option for another muzzle device for those that don't want to go SBR. ~Augee |

On the PERM attach of the KAC M4QD, though, I think I can get away with the overall length with just 2.5 peel washers...(Which sure beats a $35 spacer plus shipping)...$35 may not seem a lot, but I have to multiply it by 3... ... I can perm them at home with silver solder. (I dont want to fire up the drill press or welder, )
