A local guy that is friends with the company. He's got more, but you might as well just order from SAW given the price.

The reticles are different as well as slight differences in the white laser engravings on the FDE anodizing. I've heard that the commercial reticle is actually better. Can anyone chime in on this? I personally don't think so. My SU-230 reticle is just like the TA01NSN except the red dot in the middle. Fairly clean and precise to me. I also have the Mil reticle and prefer it over the civi because it's not as cluttered IMO. A friend of mine has the civi version so, I was able to get some trigger time to compare the two side y side. |

Saving the $100 dollars for not buying a nodak lower is .6% of the cost of an M16. Not too helpful.

Would make a great lower for a Mk18 build though. |

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong but the "clone correct" rear BUIS for the CQBR and Block II is either the 600m or the 300m with the full size windage adjustment wheel/drum. I dont think many people will frown on using the micro buis but the full size is clone correct. Which one you use is personal preference. I also believe the matech rear buis is clone appropriate. |
