The poster looks like some type of Afghan soccer event and the rug and blankets look pretty authentic to me - authentic enough that it's either training in Afghanistan or a real operation in Afghanistan, but it looks to be real to me, not training stateside. Then again, I could be wrong - just my best guess. |

I don't have them saved, but I know there were some pics of mil guys running the G33. I remember one in particular that was US and Canadian force training together. The rifles were either Mk18's or Block I CQBR's if I remember correctly. Probably Block I CQBR's. As far as the mag itself, I think G33 is a solid improvement over G23. But I am not sure if it is better than the Aimpoint 3x yet. The Aimpoint 3x definitely has longer and more forgiving eye relief. On the other hand, the G33 has a slight higher power (3.5x) and slightly better FOV. Thanks. EDIT: I am not paper evaluating. I actually have both Aimpoint 3x and G33. |

Love the eye relief on the Aimpoint 3x mag. That's what sets it aside from the rest for me.
Well..that and the fact that I'm sure it can take an insane beating just like the RDS sights that Aimpoint puts out. |

When you said it doesn't flip the mag all the way out, does it mean that mag will be in a higher position than the factory mount when flipped out? The factory flips to a 90 degree angle and I can see that the LaRue is slight less than 90 degree. |

No problem. Yes the Wilcox is elaborate, but badass. Flip to side or just remove the mag altogether if your don't want it hanging off the side.
As far as the Larue: Yes, whereas the factory flips to 90 degrees, the Larue is somewhere around 45. It's quicker as the unit doesn't flip as far, but it will block your field of view just to the right of the Eotech or whatever sight you're using.

It's quicker as the unit doesn't flip as far, but it will block your field of view just to the right of the Eotech or whatever sight you're using. |

The factory mount is a really well thought out and executed design IMO. I can see where some might like the Larue design, but it's not for me with the FOV blockage. It does keep the rifle more balanced when flipped out and is quicker to flip. Really comes down to personal preference. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GreenSwamperin: Yeah the LaRue mount sounds like a no-go to me. The LaRue mount for the Aimpoint 3x actually flips way out. From your description and the pictures elsewhere, it seems that the LaRue mount will place the G33 just right next to the EOTech frame and block your field of view. Thanks for your response. I think I will stick with the factory mount, with which I am plenty happy.

Just wondering - is the round, KAC 600 meter flip-up rear sight, kosher for a Block II build?

It's not a DD rail. Looks like a MI 15" G2 T series. Definitely not a BLOCK II or MK 12. On a side note I do happen to be in the minority of those that like the DD MK12 but I might be a little partial since I built one basically like it with a gen 1 lite rail a few years ago. Kind of a MK12 Mod1 only better  .

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Roadblock:
Do any of the SF or SEAL boys run EOTECH G33.STS magnifiers on their BLOCK rifles? I just ordered one to go with my SU-231a, going to run it regardless but I got to thinking, I don't think I've ever seen a photo of one on a BLOCK rifle in the field. Then again I just ordered one so I'm just now interested in them, wasn't really looking before! Also for anyone who has one, I see LaRue Tactical makes their flip to side mount for them. The mount the G33 comes with LOOKS good, but I've got a LaRue LT-755 on a PA 3x and the mount is SO solid. I'm wondering if it might be a worthwhile upgrade to get the LaRue mount for the G33? There's a few G33s for ya
