My first was born 2 1/2 weeks ago. Greatest thing that ever happened to me

I did wait until I had a house, wife, and established career as an engineer so my clone game shall not be infringed. And yeah, those B5 stocks are definitely poopy diaper brown.

Congrats on your new baby. Clone game (and rifle collection) + baby game is strong . Nice work, buddy!

I'm now at that stage of child raising where it's starting to get really expensive. I've got a 16 year old son who we just got done paying for braces for, now is about to start driving, and will either go to community college (and then university) or trade school in the next few years. Talk about a shrinking clone game or one that tuckered out shortly out of the gate

The best way is to snag a colt upper and BCG off the EE and get a Colt 16 or 14.5 chopped to 10.3. If money is of no concern, buy a Colt Mk18 upper from Specialized Armament Warehouse

I'm interested in some feedback on this as well. Everything I'm learning about shooting with NV says you want a pointer AND illuminator that can be activated at the same time. The DBAL I2 with visible laser option won't allow this unless you get the programmable TAPS switch and IR capable flashlight. And then you're left without a good way to switch to white light in a hurry.

On the other hand, the single spectrum DBAL-I2 has both, but is only available in black and it's not a PEQ-15. That's almost as bad as having a 10.5" barrel

I've got a couple of the ATPIAL-C's as well as the dbal I2 that I "use".  The I2 is a green vis laser and that works nice.  The IR side is more than strong enough for the casual use I put it to.  I would prefer that the lasers be slaved as you have to zero them individually.  That's a huge upside to the ATPIAL-C, zero the vis and the IR should be good.  I run a surefire dual switch and I can just "double-tap" the IR laser and it'll stay on then use the other pressure pad to turn on the 600V for illumination.  I run a single ITT PVS-14 pinnacle on a bump helmet and I'd say that illumination isn't required, but it doesn't hurt depending on what you are shooting at.  Most of the time for me it's just targets for fun but I have used said rig for vermin extermination.

One of my other CQBR's is setup with an ATPIAL-C and a 300 scout light.  There I can run the IR illumination and laser from the ATPIAL and switch to white light as needed (although I never have).

Disclaimer - I'm just a chairborne ranger with some fancy gear and zero low light training.  I've seen a lot of combat, but it's all been on TV or the internet.......

Gwendolyn Shea. Welsh first name, Irish middle name. She looks just like my wife does in her baby pics which has me a little worried because my wife is a babe... Not looking forward to her teenage years

I finally got myself into a tan M600 to replace my 952V. At first I was worried about going with a non-v model, but I think people smarter than me have me fairly convinced that I want an IR laser/illuminator combo for brief, simultaneous activation.

I think the 952V will go to the Holland for now.

Congrats on the kids (and also on the lack thereof, @Dyzastr), gents. Son #2 and kid #4 is due to arrive in a couple of months. So far, the cloning and guns in general remain largely unaffected.

I'll be laid up with nothing to do here in a couple of weeks after the snip.

It’s always a good idea. I’m just currently too much of a pussy and may end up wanting another in the distant future. Plus my wife offered to get that arm implant deal so I said hell yeah and my balls breathed a sigh of relief

I'm at that point of no return right now. I don't want to be like my dad and have a kid in my mid-40's but I don't want one right now either. Luckily for me, she's a 8th grade teacher so she pretty much hates kids all the time. But she's also 8 years younger than me, so when she gets to that point of wanting one I'm gonna be too old for that shit.

I know this has been covered before, but i may need some clarification after reading. I was always under the impression that when measuring a pistol length, it was from the end of the threads to the end of the receiver extension. But I just read that when using a pistol brace, it's from the end of the threads to the end of the brace. So that would mean I can add a vfg to my pistol as long as the shockwave blade was pulled back and tightened to a length over 26"? Any thoughts? Was I just under the wrong impression when I thought it was threads to buffer regardless of having a brace or not?

Eta- so I just got some tax money back and am really thinkin about a sf suppressor. Between the SB, the mini, or the monster/ mini monster, what would you pick and why?

The only answer is that there isn't an answer. The ATF hasn't clarified how exactly pistols/"firearms" with a brace are measured. There is an argument for including the brace, but it's entirely unclear how a set screw or fully adjustable brace would be measured in actual practice. Would it be fully extended, fully collapsed, or in the "current" position? Since there is no established precedent, it would basically be up to the individual officer/agent. As well, there is a case in Connecticut where it seems "firearms" with a folder are measured in the folded position, which is in direct opposition to how rifles/SBRs are measured, and seemingly a departure from previous opinion letters. It also might indicate that braces could be measured in the shortest possible configuration. I think the most optimistic view would be that they are measured in the "current" position.

In my opinion the safest way to go about it is to measure from the RE to the muzzle. People use the brace included measurement, and as far as I know no one has had a problem, but personally I wouldn't feel comfortable having nothing more between a "firearm" being an AOW than someone changing the set screw position on a Blade. Make of that what you will.

For me it'd be between the sb and the mini. SB is damn close to the rc1, but I believe there have been numerous sightings (and pictures) with the mini. Plus it's short.  Ideally I'd save and find a taupe corncob in stock somewhere.

I too try to go the safest possible route without breaking the rules, but part of me wants it to be different with braces to allow vfg's. I never was able to get comfortable with an afg. I tried to like one for a few years but utimitely gave it to my brother.  Damn grey areas!

I too try to go the safest possible route without breaking the rules, but part of me wants it to be different with braces to allow vfg's. I never was able to get comfortable with an afg. I tried to like one for a few years but utimitely gave it to my brother.  Damn grey areas!
Grab a KAK Super Sig tube for your brace. Mine measured just over 26" from tube to threads, so you should be good to go.

Do those tubes work well for the shockwave brace?

Not 100% sure, but I would think that since they're made by the same company, they'd make them compatible with each other. But there may be certain engineering aspects that we don't know about.

I'd give them a call or an email and ask if they're compatible.

The Super Sig is going to be a slightly smaller diameter than a KAK dimpled tube for the Blade. It can be made to work with some friction or electrical tape, though.

^^^looks like that's the way to go if I wanna run the blade yet still be over 26".

I finally got myself into a tan M600 to replace my 952V. At first I was worried about going with a non-v model, but I think people smarter than me have me fairly convinced that I want an IR laser/illuminator combo for brief, simultaneous activation.

I think the 952V will go to the Holland for now.

LOVE that name.  It will all be alright.  It's all scary.  But it will be OK.  I'm sure you'll raise her to know how to stay away from idiot boys.  Although we're all idiotic at some point.    Especially when we're 16........    So....   But these girls, they're probably a lot smarter and wiser than we might give them credit for.  If I'm making any sense.

I used a bicycle inner tube between a KAK Super Sig tube and a Blade.  It was a perfect fit.

I mean, I would recommend an La-5 or peq-15 for a clone, or if money is tight, find a slightly used civi model, but if you are dead set on a dbal, I would go green vis. So much brighter than red. I actually have a tan dbal with a green laser if you want it. It's been sitting in the safe for years, lol.

^^

the only laser I've owned so far was a pistol mount laser. Figured I'd tip toe my way in with somethin durable, yet less$ which is why the dbal caught my attention.
Eta- if money were no object, I'd go with an an/peq16.  The an/peq15 would def do the trick too. At this point I'm without nv capabilities so it would primarily be for the visible laser. (Also why I don't mind the dbal since the ir beam is not slaved to the visible beam. That wouldn't bother me.)

I'm sure other people will chime in and tell me that I'm an idiot, but I'd discourage training to shoot with a visible laser. I think it can build bad shooting habits and slow you down since you're chasing the dot with your eyes and not focusing on the threat.

#provemewrong

Also, the slaved laser does not mean that they both function at the same time. It just means that they are roughly aimed at the same point and are both adjusted by the same windage and elevation dials.

I think it would be beneficial on a had gun. I know how the slave setup works. What I meant by it, was that it doesn't bother me that it's not a slave setup since I won't be using it. Meaning it will be just as quick of a set-up/ sight in because I won't bother to dick around sighting in the ir. A lot of owners have quoted the unslaved ir and vl as a downside. That's what I meant

To be honest, I have no need for on at this point. It'd mainly be because clone. I definitely agree there's a right and a wrong way to train. I don't think it's neccassarily bad to train with a laser for specific indoor cqb situations. Definitely  Not to be used as an every shot sort of situation where it remains on constantly. I've think of lasers as kind of a back up if the situation calls for it. But you have to train to be ready for that situation should it ever arise.

I don't think the green laser would be terrible to use at night. Just sort of a quick, gun up, hit pressure switch, and boom, there's the dot. That's basically what you're doing with the IR laser/illuminator, but only this makes you stick out like a boner in a Speedo if it's on high. If you're close enough that you need to use it, everyone probably already knows where you are anyway though, lol.

The thing is though, if you're doing it solely for clone purposes, why get the dbal? What clone uses that dbal?

Savannah rail, 5th Grp armory sticker (left side magwell), and a rotational wmx200. Finally done. (Also not sure if there is a pixel size limit on this thread?)
