Just thought I'd give a heads up, I swapped over to a SF M600U, so my bronze WMX200 is now up in the EE.

Swapped from a $600/200 lumen light to a $200/600 lumen light.

Swapped from a $600/200 lumen light to a $200/600 lumen light. Nice. Yeah, anytime I was out at night using NV, I almost never used the IR function on the WMX. The IR illuminator on my ATPIAL-C with the "diffuser" flipped down filled the same role and it meant only having to use one device. With that being the case, figured I should spring for the brighter white light option. 
Only sad part is I'm slowly moving away from being clone correct, bit by bit. Not even sure my rifle would fit in here anymore.

I keep toying with the idea of doing a clone correct build but it would mean using parts that I don't really like. I prefer Magpul grips and trigger guards and I like the B5 Bravo better than the SOPMOD. So, I just keep checking out the awesomeness which is this thread, knowing that I'll never truly be one of the cool kids
Seriously though, yall' post some damn fine clones in this thread

So ordered a fde elcan from optics planet, but it was back ordered. I'm now reading about how terrible they are with back ordering. Do I take the hit and get one in black or wait for the fde to be filled?

Spending a good amount of money so get what you want. As brodband said, they backorder shit like it's their job. I'd cancel and get one from Kerif if you want a new one, or wait on a used one in the EE. |

Cooling down after sighting in and then some (believe it or not - 90 rounds of M855 followed by 170 rounds of Wolf...still looks almost clean!)
It's not perfect...haven't got the CQDs yet, not sure if I will to be honest. Otherwise...
Mk18 Rail Colt upper, 6921 barrel cut to 10.3 with a .070 gas port What is now Tactical Pink under Tactical Brown on the Griffin M4SDII, because color changing paint is all the rage KAC 300 micro rear sight, KAC front ...coated in Krylon to hide that it's all black
BTW - Now that I've had and sold a DD large port barrel (to someone here if I'm not mistaken), and replaced it with a Crane-spec...now I understand the utility of the large port barrels The large port DD would cycle Wolf just fine when it had to, unsuppressed...this won't, not with an H2 buffer. It'll extract and eject, but it won't pick up a round from the mag.

I was an ACOG/RMR combo guy forever, still own an ecos, but the ELCAN really is the best optic you can get if you want the most flex in your shooting style. It weighs a lot, but worth it in my opinion, or at least on my quest for the "24 hour rifle" |

Gonna slap on the correct FH later today. We're the DD QD rear plates ever used? Or just the fronts? Shoulda ordered multiple CQD's... And they were out of the front ones. Also need to snag another basic trigger guard.

I don't think the DD fronts were ever actually used. People (myself included) were just buying them because AIM was blowing them out for dirt cheap.

I've been looking for something that tucks the light in as close as possible to the area between the 3 and 6 o'clock rail. My Gear Sector offset mount doesn't tuck the light into that space very well. |
