I mean, I suppose nothing says you have to time the notch to BDC even with a suppressor. However, without shims, things are going to be very tight between the RIS II and MD with a 10.3". Without any shims at all, I think your suppressor collar might actually hit the front of the RIS II when fully open - it'd be extremely tight in any case. Looking at mine, I don't think it'd clear without the shims. I'd at the very least use the beveled shim to give a bit more clearance.
See my post in the other thread you created... no reason to not just time it properly. |

As for why I'm ditching the urgi... The poster above me knows. Maybe my thoughts will change down the road... But these rails are pretty solid.

There was another thread in the Geissele Industry forum, but Bill and Co deleted it. There's also a thread in the Larue Industry forum with some tidbits (if you can get past Mark Larue tooting his own horn every other post, lol).
G has been actively blocking or banning people asking about the URGI problems on social media and during live feeds as well. I was going to try and summarize all the shenanigans, but quickly realized I'd need to write half a fucking novel to cover all the greasy bullshit. |

I've always used standard Colt triggers on these guns as I never really felt I needed a precise trigger. Maybe for the 14.5 block 2 with good glass. I'm thinking about snagging a KAC trigger for my SR15 build, especially now that I have a Nightforce 2.5-10×32 on it.
That one, ima need me some precision trigger. |

I picked up a DSLR last night; a Canon T7i :D.
Not anything super fancy, but it beats the hell out of my decade old 10MP Canon Powershit. So far I've got the 18-55mm IS STM kit lens and a 50mm prime lens for it. I think I'll eventually get a 100mm macro lens and maybe a wide angle. I'm used to the 6.4-38.4mm lens on the PS, so switching to a 18-55mm should be pretty interesting. |
