Here's one I've been debating. I see you guys talk about weapon mounted lights and I'm debating on what I should get to hang from my recce's rail. I suppose it doesn't have to be to spec, but then again..... Can someone school me on the different ones you guys are all using? And for the the smaller the better. Just for home defense. I might just get a TLR-1, streamlight, but I never see any of you guys talk about them. Nobody in the .mil ever uses them? If not, why not? I'm completely uninformed on the subject. My go to light is a Surefire Z2, I think it's called. Hand held to go along with my pistol. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JJREA:

A G2 in a VTAC mount would be a great affordable option I think.

If not I hope surefire sues the fuck out of em' I'd be interested in seeing the quality and what type of steel it's made from. But I can't imagine it being up to par to actually put on one of my clones, or you guys to attach a suppressor to. Has the potential of ruining your can, barrel threads, round could impact the flash hider if it isn't machined well. Just kind of sketchy. I'd proceed with caution of you decide to use it. I had a knockoff 249F before my real one. It worked fine, and I made sure the round wouldn't impact it, but always felt sketched out I wouldn't even use it for suppressor use. I just think it would be something the cloners that couldn't afford a socom can, let alone a 4 prong could use if they wanted the "look" Yeah I'd definitely be interested in seeing it and the "real steel one". So they said even the airsoft one is 1/2x28? That's kind of derp. I though airsoft barrels had a different thread pitch? they mentioned 1/2 x 28 and 14mmCCW |

Okay, per request, here a couple more photos of the cuts of my converted FSP rail. Good thing I haven't painted it yet. That said, when I get a chance in the next couple of days and can cut the next one, I'll take photos throughout the process and post the how to. I'll add a link to that thread in this one as well.
Hope this helps in the meantime, and feel free to ask questions if you have any. |

Looks really good brother. Even with the rough-ish cuts, cerakote or  []**
will clean her right up. Now I just need to figure out if I'm gonna keep my B2 as-is, or copy you lol |

Is a black SU marked Eotech legit on a Block II CQBR? I know black EXPSs have been spotted but don't recall about the 553s.

I don't think I would put anything not intended for actual firearms on my rifle. |

And I've been thinking about going the cerakote route, but it's hard to find up here, without having to pay a shop to do it. i may just hit it with a coat of high temp spray and then rattle can it. |

heres another TLR-1, pic posted by CD
as far as eotechs, yes they have more problems than the other optics, but they all have problems. as far as all the tier 1 guys using them, they like them, they like the reticle for the type of shooting they do. if they break, they can get another one. if it breaks during a gun fight, theres other guys there to back them up and they can point shoot good enough to get out of the situation. and i would think they prefer to do most of their stuff at night when they have the upper hand, in which case, the eotech isnt even used. as far as joe citizen is concerned, if he wants something for HD that he can just leave on, then he needs an aimpoint. but dont get all hard over the aimpoint 5+years battery life, those are at level 8? i think, and in my experience, level 8 is worthless in daylight or in the dark with a weapon light turned on. so when you bump up the setting to 9 or 10, youre dropping the battery life down to 10ish months (according to the manual). so i would reccomend changing your aimpoint batteries every 6 months if you leave it on a usable setting. also the comp aimpoints seem to have weak brightness knobs IME. the micros are by far the best/toughest all around optic IMO for a civilian, if you can put up with any astigmatism problems you might have. |

I also see in one of their facebook posts that they plan to make one for use on a "real steel" as the airsofters call it, AR thread pitch. <a href="http://s61.photobucket.com/user/BrOdBaNd_2006/media/4%20prong_zpspnxwgubo.png.html" target="_blank">http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h80/BrOdBaNd_2006/4%20prong_zpspnxwgubo.png</a> Licensed by surefire? If not I hope surefire sues the fuck out of em' I'd be interested in seeing the quality and what type of steel it's made from. But I can't imagine it being up to par to actually put on one of my clones, or you guys to attach a suppressor to. Has the potential of ruining your can, barrel threads, round could impact the flash hider if it isn't machined well. Just kind of sketchy. I'd proceed with caution of you decide to use it. I had a knockoff 249F before my real one. It worked fine, and I made sure the round wouldn't impact it, but always felt sketched out I wouldn't even use it for suppressor use. I just think it would be something the cloners that couldn't afford a socom can, let alone a 4 prong could use if they wanted the "look" Yeah I'd definitely be interested in seeing it and the "real steel one". So they said even the airsoft one is 1/2x28? That's kind of derp. I though airsoft barrels had a different thread pitch? they mentioned 1/2 x 28 and 14mmCCW Alright, that makes sense. I think the 14mm is the airsoft threading. I'd still feel better running a Stoner replica than anything labeled as "real steel" though. You thought I hate waiting periods? I think I hate airsoft terms even more.
Speaking of, Stoner if you read this, have you used your can on your SF4P replica? |

I think I'm gonna get a TLR-1. It just seems to make sense. As far as the eotech vs aimpoint, I have always come to the conclusion I want a compact ACOG. But affording one is the other issue.......
I'm wondering if the HL is needed or even wanted. I have a laser I might want to use along with it, plus if I ever get a RDS, I'm not sure the extra lumens is wanted...... |
