I can't take a decent pic for shit. He'll probably say "All you need is good light and the correct camera settings".

AU FB messaged me after I spammed one of their posts last night (at 2300

). We got into a convo about items that are/are not in stock and he said to email Daneil ar [email protected]. Apparently that guy runs the shop and "should" be able to get you some help if phones or email is not.

Even after our convo, they still don't seem to understand they have a problem.

Aye.

Well yeah, I mean I figured that some people would prefer it over the "C-clamp" method, or whatever the hell they call it, but nearly everyone I see with a vertical foregrip broomhandles it. I just thought it was strange, as I find that it feels so awkward whenever I try it. Then I thought of the pressure switch on the foregrips, but you can always swap out the pressure switch for a button, or find another spot for said pressure switch.

I just thought they might be taught that grip for a specific reason. I still see guys using them on mod 0 grips without the pressure switch.

Anyway, when I say "C-clamp" I mean this. And I like the record to state that I have never watched a Chris Costa video in my life, lol. Let it be noted.

Seriously though, this is just the way I naturally pick up a weapon.

Now I gotta save it and use it as my damn wallpaper, lol. See what you've done? I was planning on a scope and an Ops Inc 12th for my SPR build.

I should just sign up for the damn Navy like I was going to out of high school. I hear they pay you to use that stuff if you manage to get into a certain secretive unit they never always talk about on the news.

Still got a year left before I hit the SEAL age limit! Two or maybe even three with an exemption.

I swear though, in an alternate universe where I did actually try out, I guarantee I would have been grilled so many times for accidentally yelling out; "Hooyah, Instructor Patstone....awwe SHIT. How many this time?".

I actually just typed up a story about me being a dumbass, but then I realized this was the internet, lol.

I'm not going to speak for him. He is very capable and can give much more insight than I can, which is exactly what you asked for. The reason I said to PM him is that given yesterday's derailment and the likelihood of this thread adding another page or 2 before day's end, he may not see your comment and a PM would more than likely ensure a quicker response.

But hey, you're welcome.

For one I know the DBAL-A3's originally came with no adjusters for the illuminators and could not be focused, but now they are coming with both options. Are the atpial-c's still non adjustable with staked illuminators?

Yes. IIRC, that's how they get the illuminator civi safe. The focus is epoxied.

I have a new production one (less than month old) and its fixed, just as the one that was a year or so old that I had.

Best I can tell, internally. The notched housing that you would grip to turn is fused to the housing.
