holy crumbs computer problems
sorry guys |

I had a Vortex Razor HD 1-6 on my SCAR-17 in a Bobro mount for a while... the FOV is epic and the glass super clear... I switched to an ELCAN 1-4 to save some weight...
I mean, if I had to lose all of my guns in an unfortunate boating accident, I would grab my Block II, mount the Vortex on it, and use it as a boat anchor.... |

Just as a heads up my 14.5 upper is likely to go in the EE soon. All colt with a 4 prong unpinned. |

I had a Razor Gen 2 on my block 2 for 2 weeks... It made gun really really heavy. I ditched it for my ACOG and. I am much happier with the setup. If i put it back in recce mode it will wear my Leupold MK 4 1.5-5 and save a full 10oz. In short the Razor is a tank for a using rifle and the bomb for a gaming rifle. In my opinion.

Great photo. I've had a PST as well but for some reason I prefer the MK 4 for the weight class. I know it's a little more pricy.

I set her on a doctors style scale and she came out somewhere on the heavier side of 11lbs with a fully loaded 20 rounder so I am assuming the "light" side of 12 with a fully loaded 30. I am working on a MK18 upper as well and sbr stamp on that lower so I will probably turn it in to a "kit" and use this upper for the longer stuff. It's actually "lighter" than I thought it would be. But I guess a 15 ton boat anchor is technically lighter than a 20 ton boat anchor. ETA: Anybody have any recommendations on a 45* offset mount either scope, but preferably picatinny mount option that would accommodate a Burris/Doctor/Insight style mrds? |

Dilemma..................buy "C" marked upper or M4 RISII FSP?
I don't have a Colt upper for either the M4 or CQBR. But I do have an extra .gov profile barrel w/ FSP that I was going to do a Mk18 with since I have an extra RAS sitting around. GAAAHHH. First world problems. |

View Quote Of course. I previously had 4 EOTechs but now have two and two Aimpoints. That way, I can "smooth" my optics "risk" across different options while having a little variety.

Thanks you're the man. Problem solved!

Yeah, I know. I have XL hands and I wanted to be careful not to over adjust it. I dug my fsp tool out of my armorers bag, I got in Windham Weaponry's essential kit. I'm glad I did, and interesting enough I ended up adjusting the fsp up two more notches per my calculations. Keep in mind I have the Matech 0-600 set at 300 per Matec's instructions for a 14.5" sight radius. Surprisingly I had to adjust the windage two clicks to the right. I'm absolutely finished zeroing this thing in, next range session I'm heading north to check 200-600 meter steel. I also checked the roll pin, it's square, and I now carefully assist it so I don't risk bending the pin. I built confidence in the Matech, and managed to get some rapid fire in at 25 yards standing and I can see now why they like this versus the LMT rear. Wow. Dumped a mag into the target at 25 yards with a two inch group. Slow fire was all in the bull at the same distance. Probably 1/2-3/4" groups. I could shoot bulls all day at 25yards with this rear sight. Very happy.

Got 95% of my upper parts together for a very clone correct upper. Hunting a M4A1 marked colt, but in the meantime I've got a question. What are most of you all using for flash hiders? I've got unicorn parts on my MK12 Mod 0, but paying that much for a 4 prong then pin/welding it is blasphemy and I won't do it. So what's my next best bet?

3 prong

Sf 3 prong or kac nt4 with a spacer.
I have a spare 3 prong that I kinda marred up installing incorrectly. If you don't plan on using a suppressor send me a pm. |

Trying to get back into clone optics, anyone interested in trading me a beat up Acog/rmr combo for my Aimpoint H2 and magnifier combo?

Due to financial issues, it looks like I may be getting out of block II while I'm still collecting parts.
I have a Colt raised C upper with a few handling marks and a factory blem on the left side (barrel never torqued) and an unfired Colt 14.5" SOCOM barrel with the FSB removed (still with it) and a SF3P (unpinned, never torqued either) Any suggestions on how much to ask for them? ETA: This is not a sale ad, I am not 100% sure if I am selling yet, genuinely asking about a price. |

View Quote I knew I had seen a SFB with a Trijicon somewhere. Yeah needless to say you were a nice inspiration to have when I was doing my build. I just so happened to have had a spare Magpul AFG2 sitting around and have to say I like how it feels. I had previously tried a VG and didn't like it but I may have to steal your "set up" style as the weight just feels a little bit more dispersed with the AFG on. Thanks for the video. |
