. Would you all trade a tan exps 3 for a ta01nsn acog? already have another exps so I'm thinking hard of making the trade. This optic would go onto my ris ii upper.

I would say yes, the exps 3 goes for less than 500 on ebay/EE and those TA01NSN's are easily 850. Worse case, you sell the NSN and go back to an eotech. I have both, and prefer the acog as most of my shooting is 100 yds plus. I rarely get to have any CQ fun. The TA01 is a nice optic, I prefer it over my old TA31RCO as that fiber lit chevron didn't work for me. |

Quote HistoryI would agree USAF. The PJs next door at bagram when I was there in 2015 were rocking M4s with old DBAL-A2s... interesting they didn't have PEQ-15s, or at least I thought it was. Then again, between the airforce SPs or Security Forces or whatever you call them and the PJs, they always had weird equipment, at least compared to army counter parts... pretty cool. Actually have an extra RMR that I was going to throw on an ADM lower 1/3 mount and see how it does. probably the lightest reflex optic combo you could go with. I remember seeing a pic in the MK18 thread with a MRDS with a magnifier as well. Thanks for posting |

Cross post from IG and Facebook, Got it where I like it as well as having all the essentials for an HD rifle, now I just need to rezero the optic, and swap the buffer for an H2 and start focusing on the Block 1.

I'm sure this has been covered, but too many pages in this thread
What are most of you doing for optics with the whole EOTech return bandwagon? Are you guys seeing T1 Aimpoints in the wild? I have a close family member that is issued SOPMOD gear and he says he hasn't seen any T1's floating about yet. Still trusting his EOTech till the unit decides what to switch out to. That's tells me they do have intentions to ditch the EXPS3 and 553 though. |

From CD in the MK18 thread: "EoTech paid SOCOM $26 mil for non disclosures on shifting recticles over large temp changes Oct 15. SOCOM is no longer buying EoTechs and looking for a replacement. However, all units still have them and haven't been told to turn them in yet. " |

I finally sent my upper parts to ADCO for finishing. The standard pin/weld on the muzzle and then pinning the gas block. I know the mil doesn't pin gas blocks, but you can't really go wrong with it. The FSB is pinned after all.
I also took the lazy man's route and just decided to have them assemble the entire upper. I just want to see this thing done and I don't know when I'd get to it otherwise. I'll post pics once it's done, so hopefully very soon. Very exciting! |

Had to rebarrel two M4A1 14.5" DD RIS II FSB guns today. Pulled two SOCOM bbls off and replaced them with one SOCOM and one Govt profile bbl on as that's what we had. New barrel, bolt and gas tube on each gun. Had to retime the flash hinders (FH556RC 1/2-28's) of course. I hate doing those FSB rails, pain my fourth point of performance!
Some older photos of these guns.

Way....I am afraid to post the price in case I decide to sell it....but yes one heck of a deal. Its like comparing buying a car for $1000 dollars but you turn around and sell it for $5000 because that is what its worth. It really completes and increases the value of my Block II rifle now (sans the optic...my eyes cant run EOtech so I am running a Mepro TRUDOT RDS). |
