I would think those to be to noisy rattling around for any true tactical advantage. I have one on a build and am switching out to cqd. When u are not running a sling it is way to noisy! Looks like on the one rifle he has his sling on looped through his stock and has the ASAP. I know some guys cut the ring off and just put the sling directly on the endplate. It works but with certain slings it's impossible to collapse the stock all the way. |

It pads the loop some, and doesn't let it flop around as freely. |

Wooohoooo. Any day shooting is a good one. That looks like a nice range. Not overly long though. Is that even 50'? Looks like 10 yards.

It looks like a nice range. Can I ask which one it is?

Would a 4x Acog be appropriate for a Block II clone?

+1 for JT, I have used him for my clones as well as my retro guns. He did a real nice job on a Block II for me, cutting down a barrel, adding the step at the end of it and finally perm attaching a muzzle device.

Diemaco marked uppers and BCGs can be found on issue guns from time to time. |

It's also true that SAW are expensive; but they do quality work on Colt stuff that I have not seen matched. My mistake about the FSP - in fact I posted my picture of a cut down barrel plus pinned and welded muzzle device - at that SAW are great with hardly any match for the same look; and that isn't expensive either, it being 200 USD. I think SAW should be considered for that, of other things I am unaware |

So, the SOCOM RC I ordered back in Jan finally made it to my dealer, but it's Black instead of FDE. The dealer I bought it from offered to cover the cost of having it Cerakoted. Has anyone had any experience with having one of these cans done? I've been trying to get ahold of Surefire to see if they'd do it, but I've been on hold for quite some time. What I'm curious about, is the disassembly of the QD at the bottom.
Edit: Once the Form 4 comes back, Surefire will coat the can for me. |
