Out of curiosity, why is it that so many people on here use an H3 with a non-mil spec spring? The testing has already been done for us with the H2. I think you'll find most in this thread run an H2 and a standard strength spring; at least that used to be the case. Of the broader Arfcom population, I'd say it's mostly out of a desire to "upgrade" something, whether it needs it or not. Also the "conventional wisdom" of running the heaviest possible buffer that will still lock back. That said, there is nothing wrong with an H3 necessarily; it'll work just fine, and makes for a soft shooting gun with a .070" gas port. I used an H3 for quite a while; however, once I started getting more serious about my split times and follow up shot speed, I ditched the H3 for an H2. The H2 has a slightly sharper rearward recoil impulse, but the H3 causes more muzzle dip. I still prefer the "feel" of the H3, but you can only control recoil in one direction at a time, so I'd rather a sharper rearward impulse than more muzzle dip that I can't counter effectively. As far as springs, I use the Damage Industries "enhanced" springs, which are standard strength (I prefer CS springs for longevity). I've got nearly 17k on one of them and it's still going strong... pretty great product for $5. I see no good reason to run an increased power spring in a CQBR (and, again, increased return force is likely to equal increased muzzle dip). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mra4523: Thanks all on the Surefire suggestions. I was thinking the 600 as it seemed a lot slimmer, but it's always nice to see the options mounted on rifles to help the decisions. Next order of business, does anyone want to talk me out of the Elcan SpecterDR 1-4. I've been thinking EXPS3-0 with the G33 magnifier, but a buddy was talking to me about difficulty using red dots with astigmatisms. Could be nonsense, but it's worth asking as I have an astigmatism in both eyes. Is the extra cost on the Specter worth it from a multifaceted standpoint? Thoughts....... Agree with previous poster, it depends... Personally it bugs the heck out of me, red dots flare and EoTech is just a fuzzy mess. But if you put a G33 behind an Eotech, you can adjust the diopter and clean it up... but it's just a heavy setup. Other option of course is the Elcan, which can get spend and are also heavy. Plus there's the whole "reticle does it shift/does it not shift" controversy that seems to hanging around. |

Current production Civ/Commercial Elcans all have "HD" components, they are just not marked accordingly. You can tell as the Windage adjustment rod has been beefed up and is visibly larger. Older Su230s with either 10 or 11 series serial numbers typically have smaller adjustment rods, in some cases were upgraded to the beefier adjustment rod after the fact.   |

B5 Gen 1 SOPMOD Gov, Black arrived from Brownells today. Turns out the tracking # they included in the email was not the correct one. Explains why I was still seeing Awaiting Shipment on USPS's website when in fact it was out for delivery today. In any case, fitment is nearly identical to my past LMT Gen 1 SOPMOD buttstocks. No slop or wiggle at all when installed on a Colt 4-position buffer tube, and slides on with minimal effort.
And yes, my Insight dual button remote is currently without a host. Saving for a WMX200. #paywithcash #staydebtfree #kidscostalot

Correct, with the exception of the reticle. Su230s have a finer/cleaner crosshair BDC and has ranging starting at 200m and a more open targeting point at 700-1000m. (for M249s) Civi models have a thicker crosshair with ranging starting at 300m. There is also a range estimator on the bottom left for man sized targets. Don't let the HD designation deter you from picking up an older Elcan/Su. Unless its going on a beltfed.

Every person is different, so play around with it a bit and you'll find what you like. Hmm, just putting an eyeball on it I don't know if it's gonna work, I feel like it would trap my hand against the rail. Guess we'll know for sure when I get a chance to finalize it next month.  Although just holding the upper it actually makes a nice thumb-stop

I didn't mind the strap being over my hand (it actually made it feel a bit more "locked-in") but it would get in the way when trying to get your hand up there fast. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZ_SBR: B5 Gen 1 SOPMOD Gov, Black arrived from Brownells today. Turns out the tracking # they included in the email was not the correct one. Explains why I was still seeing Awaiting Shipment on USPS's website when in fact it was out for delivery today. In any case, fitment is nearly identical to my past LMT Gen 1 SOPMOD buttstocks. No slop or wiggle at all when installed on a Colt 4-position buffer tube, and slides on with minimal effort. And yes, my Insight dual button remote is currently without a host. Saving for a WMX200. #paywithcash #staydebtfree #kidscostalot https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50219588182_67c184d255_c.jpg This is dope. Love the black NT4 on this. |
