The guy has a MUR upper. We get it. I've seen people post pics with Noveske Gen 2 lowers that pair with that same MUR upper without getting any flack.
Do you have to like it? No. Do you have to get worked up about it and chastise the guy? I'd say no there as well. Frankly, I could care less either way. Have at it. Pic thread: 
Need to get an updated pic soon. The new FDE Gear Sector Scout mounts finally shipped a while back, so my FDE CQBR is sporting its M300B again as well now. I made some changes to my Block II as well. Primarily, I went with a VCOG for the optic. Best 1-x variable optic I've ever used by a mile. Better than the Elcan, Mark 6, etc, IMO. My Block II was collecting dust for a long while, but the VCOG has quickly made it a new favorite of mine again. On another note, I think I'm gonna rattle can the black CQBR. It's more become a plinker/beater gun of mine, so I figure it's a good candidate to take that plunge on. |

Lookin good, brother. Though your EoTech ran out of batteries while I typed this response.
I'll stick with my FDE Gear Sector Scout mounts. I've already gotta deal with the hassle of swapping out a few of my M300Bs with M300Vs now that I've got a PVS-14... |

I love the brown. One of these is going to get Ckoted, soon. I just can't decide which one to do. Probably the Noveske, but it may look like ass with 1.5 inches of stainless peeking out from under that NSR. I saw those lights finally hit the market. I am still doing circles trying to make the can commitment, I am not jumping on the NV bandwagon...as I sit here thinking of how fucking dark it is 4 months of my year 
The EO did get some fresh batteries, I have to admit. It has been an interesting transition, but for minute-of-dude at 50 yards, it is pretty quick. Still love all my Aimpoints, I think I have bought my last EO. |

The strength of Rocksett is equivalent to blue Loctite, just resistant to heat. |

Yes, any members (LLC) and I assume employees ( corp) that want to access the weapons will need to submit the prints, photos and signature. There are rumors it will go retroactive, and rumors that only new members/employees will have to submit info. I'm not speculating on any of that till it happens. |

I'm digging the rig, especially with the FSP rail and LMT rear. Exactly how my upper is set up. Thanks! Yeah, I'm really happy with that configuration. You get the benefits of the EOTech reticle but then you have the irons that are "always on" so it's always ready to shoot. And given that the EXPS series is 1/3 lower, the irons are never in the way with the red dot on. On top of that, the other big benefit is that the PEQ & FSP work really well together unlike the PEQ+KAC combo. |

Anyone done a comparison between an SF SOCOM Mini 5.56 and SF SOCOM RC on an MK18/CQBR or similar setup?
Just curious how noticeable the dB reduction is between the two. Either no hearing pro safe on a 10.3? With my AAC cans, my Mini 4 is not quite no hearing pro safe on my 10.3s, but my M4-2000 is. My Mini 4 is no hearing pro safe on my 11.5s though. Just curious if the results are similar with the SF cans. I'm about to finally take the plunge into adding an SF can to the stable. The timing isn't great though as I'm just about to drop a bit on an upcoming long range precision rifle course. Kinda feel the need to take advantage of these current SF can sales though. |

Get your rifle set up with a SOCOM mount, and if there is a shoot in your area, you might get lucky and get to try both on your 18. |
