I ended up getting a bank robber rig to use with the skinny straps. |

Slowing gathering parts for Block 1 upper. Can't really see in the pic but it's a Colt cage marked upper. Need to get the ball rolling on a NT4. That price tho, tough pill to swallow.

Guys, I wanted to give some feedback on the Surefire Suppressor Adapter Carbon Scraping Tool I picked up. I didn't grab a before pic, but you can look at the last pic of my rig a page back. It looks like a typical salty 4 prong, with lots of carbon. I used the rifle last week, and it took me forever to get the can off. Tried it warm, cold, everything. Took me a good 15-20 min to work it off. Id have tried the unlocked firing method, but it was dark. Before I started shooting last night, I used the new scraper. It was tight going on, but i just kind of screwed it on. Once on, you just twist it to scrape. I worked it for about 3 min steady. It isnt supposed to get the whole mount clean, just the bearing surfaces. It did the trick. I put the can on, did my usual shooting, and when it was time to come off, it was easier than new. I decided Id give it a quick scrape every time I take the can off to keep it easy. While it isnt cheap, its typical excellent surefire quality. It was definitely worth it for me.

CQBR pals. Broke down and swapped in a spare "C" stamped upper on the NT4 host URG.
I would be taking pictures with a new DSLR (Canon SL2), but the fuckwit Ebay seller "Tri-State-Camera" didn't honor their price; fuckers canceled the transaction without explanation after I'd already paid. Contacted them and they claimed it was a mistake and that the advertised price was for a "refurbished" camera (even though I didn't see any listings for refurbs on either their site or Ebay). The previous sale price had been $459 and they relisted it for $410 the same day the SL3 became available for preorder; I figured it was a price drop to clear out stock for the newer model. But, no... they canceled the order and relisted for $490, heh. Now I have a new Canon camera bag, a 50mm prime lens and spare batteries I ordered at the same time... and no camera, lol. I think I'm going to pick up a Canon T7i instead. Only went with the SL2 in the first place based on the $410 price. |

I guess this has been fixed with the new optics. Even if you get an old one and this happens to it, you can sent it back to EOTech and they turn it around really fast and it doesn't seem to lose the purge ever again. When I sent one in it took a week from doorstep to doorstep to fix and return the optic. |

CD how often do the EXPS fail and need replacing? Kinda funny, I've heard people comment they don't like being hemmed in or limited by the "acceptable parts" list, whereas I'm kinda the opposite - I actually like or even prefer many of the "accepted" parts. I can almost go down the list: shaved A2? Love it. TD Stubby? Favorite VFG. Colt N1 or SOPMOD? Yes, please. Upper and lower full of proven and solid parts? Don't mind if I do. KAC BUIS and Eotech EXPS? Sign me up. Surefire M300 or M600 as an acceptable alternative... did they make this list just for me? lol There are actually very few parts on my builds that I use purely because it's correct that I would otherwise not like or use - especially from Block II. If tomorrow I decided I had zero fucks to give about cloning, my Block IIs wouldn't really change much. Maybe swap the Gen 1 SOPMODs for a Gen II just for the convenience of built-in QDs, but that can be solved easily enough with an add-on part. If I had to search out stuff I probably wouldn't have otherwise selected outside of cloning purposes, the list would mostly come from my Block I. |

I’m just a regular Joe who runs both the EOTECH and T1, I like both for different reasons and would trust my life to either. I enjoy the FOV and reticle on the EOTECH and run fixed BUIS if I had reticle issues for some reason.
The T1 is also solid, has a smaller FOV but allows me to see more around the RDS. Battery life and the simplicity of the red dot is great. Overall the EOTECH is my preference, but enjoy both for different reasons. Just another data point. |
