I’m convinced that the cheapest way to get an RIS II is to buy the stripped upper from Brownells when they’re running a 10% off coupon, then disassemble it and sell the upper and barrel for maybe $250-300. Then you’ll be into a brand new RIS II for $325-375 |

Whoa! If you look at the rear of the scope tube and zoom in you can CLEARLY read the VX-6 lettering. Very surprised to see someone running one of those! Mine never felt very durable, maybe that was just due to the lightweight though. Also perhaps he is just testing the optic?

Love the teardrop. And thanks to @5L33P3R I just ordered a new GEN1 SOPMOD in poopy brown to replace my current CAR stock. Will go nice with my newly aquried Surefire 4P. Gonna gain a little weight again, but that's okay.

After braceman engraved my lower and I finished it, I built it out with a Colt LPK, but I used an LMT receiver extension because that's what I always use, so I already had one. I know LMT has been contracted for various things before, but has anyone ever seen an LMT tube in use? I haven't, but many of you here are experts compared to me, so I figured I'd ask.
I've always figured it was close enough, but I think it's bugging me now because I've got the Gen1 poopy SOPMOD on the way and if I need to swap the tube for a Colt, I might as well get one of those headed my way, too. ETA: Just ordered a Colt tube, nut, and latch plate. I'll swap it over just for the sake of absolute correctness. |
