Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 2Keylows: At least 2 rebarrels.  Curious to see what the inside looks like. I've seen some used ones with solid copper deposits due to the firing schedule lol I didn't get to capture an inside photo before installing but it was nasty full of carbon. It appears previous install used a lot of shims and caused solid carbon build-up inside the thread gap and will not fully seat/time with my barrel using just a few shims (could be due to multiple rebarrels?)..had to patiently scrape and tap, install without a shim and eventually broke those carbon build-up in the threads...

Speaking of 4 prongs, what's the status on the new production ones? Are they readily available now?

Mines got some pretty blues and greens, but nothing like the salt buildup on the one from shield and spear.

I remember Krdt did some documentation on his suppressor baffle erosion over time. I doubt I'll ever shoot enough to need mine re-cored, but I think it's still interesting to see. Lol |

No, I am not aware of anyone else that got one from them as they immediately went backorder and kept accepting orders from day 1. I have ordered from them before and never had an issue.

I ordered two through Euro Optic. Received one and the other went on back order. I’ve checked in with them twice just to make sure I hadn’t been forgotten. Their CS seems great. Both times I checked in they offered a refund if I wanted. Here’s to hoping the new batches come in soon.

Orders through them as well and just patiently waiting. I'm eager to see what I get first, the RC2 or the 4-prong.

Making some progress with my 1.5. A salty 4 prong arrived today. Headed to the range to zero one of these optics first thing in the morning. Help me decide which one. The other will end up on a 14.5 Block II. Both are Su marked.
