I don't know about you guys, but I'm always worried my suppressor isn't going to line up. Fortunately this one is damn near perfect.
Speaking of the NT4, it rotates quite bit more than my RC's when locked down. I thought I read somewhere this is expected? Can anyone that has an NT4 confirm?

Would yall trust anyone to do lower engravings if they have the vector files? Is it possible to mess up engravings with the vector files? My FFL i picked up the lower mentioned he did lasering, showed some work.
But I didn't want to spend couple hundred on a lower, get engraved incorrectly instead of going through someone whose done it a couple of times already. But, you know, support local business etc, so i thought I'd ask. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TNW:
Stay with the T1 or T2. I prefer the window and reticle of the Eotech, but reliability is enough of a factor as to where I’d only put an Eotech on a plunked now. You can’t trust an Eotech the way you can trust an Aimpoint. T1’s are plenty correct anyways, you’re more likely to see it on a LaRue or ADM. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TNW:

Yes. Out of 4 I’m referencing to be exact. 3 of them were issued to me - I originally thought two but I remembered one from last October. One was a buddies (the one with the loose smoke piece)
If I felt like I could count on them and ended the bad luck streak, I’d probably go back |

Some flex, but not as cool as @vanquishings complete CAG clone rifle. Still need to find someone capable of blasting and re anodizing a MR lower.

What's the best (or cheapest) way to get a stripped clone upper and lower these days?
I got on the MK18 journey via Garand Thumb and his videos steer people to Aero. I have a bad ass rifle but it's not exactly clone correct especially with non-clone lower. That and it still has a Rosco Bloodline 10.5″ M4 5.56 NATO barrel. |
