When companies have tried to break into it, they get nit picked non stop. They’d be better off just selling whatever contract parts they produce separately for us to build on our own. |

Got my RC2 for 765 from Surefire. Put the order in just a couple weeks ago, Surefire dude said I got lucky. Will be my first can. Can't imagine waiting a year, guess I'll just have to forget about it and be surprised later.
Sold my second URGI upper for $2k on Gbroker. Does anyone actually prefer the Elcan 1-4 over the Razor 1-6? Love my Razor but that mag ring is a heavy bitch. Would prefer the quick toggle of the Elcan plus the lesser weight. |

i remember seeing a picture showing the inside dimensions of the mk16 compared to the urx4, does anyone have it or know which page it was on this thread?

Thanks for the fix. Not sure why I can't make it work on my end.

View Quote I prefer the Elcan. I’ve come to really dislike LPVO’s. I actually started with a Razor 1-6 on my Block II and traded it for an Elcan 1-4 which I still have. I later picked up a Razor 1-10 for my URGI, kept it for a bit and sold it. I recently picked up another Razor 1-10, kept it for a day and went right back to my T2 on the URGI. I love my Elcan though and am considering picking another one up in the future. |

My Elcan was issued and it worked great for a combat optic. I don't spend $1k on optics so I do not own one. I have an LPVO on my URGI with an offset RDS because it is my coyote rifle too. If it was a clone or SHTF only, the Elcan is perfect.

Some say the eyebox and eye relief is great, others say it sucks. Some hate the arms mounts and external adjustments, some say no issues. I've come to appreciate durability above all things and the Elcan certainly has that reputation. How is it on 1x? Do you feel its faster than an LPVO despite the 2.5 inch-ish eye relief? For me the lackluster warranty, somewhat high price and only 4x for said price kinda holds me back. But I am still intrigued. Been thinking of just going back to Acog/RMR for my Block 1 instead and leaving Razor on the URGI. Eye relief caused me to sell my last one, but the only other magnified optic on the same level of durability is the Elcan. Maybe ATACR. |

Many team members use what they know. CompM4s and Larue mount was my first set-up on my URGI. In my quest to have some variety in optics that I own, I may go back to it on my 14.5” URGI. Which would free up my T2 for an 11.5” URGI down the road. |

Eye relief caused me to sell my last one, but the only other magnified optic on the same level of durability is the Elcan. Maybe ATACR. The eye relief doesn’t bother me. But 4x ACOG eye relief doesn’t bother me either so the Elcan feels better to me with the slightly longer eye relief. 1x seems fine to me. The illuminated dot is red dot bright but even with it off, the etched reticle is very easy to pick up on 1x. I always have a hard time getting the diopter set correctly so that I can get a true 1x on LPVO’s. The Elcan does not have an adjustable diopter but it works well with my eyes. Armament Tech has really good customer service. The written warranty may not sound good but in reality they seem to take of any problems without issue. I marred up my battery cap trying to get it off pretty good. I called them up and they sent me a new one free of charge. |

Hope they bust out a run before March so I can assemble a URGI clone when I come back to the states. |

Have other scope mounts been used with the Razors besides the Geissele mount?

Was there ever an official LPVO optic named for the rifle, and what about official BUIS?

There's a new DD 14.5 mid barrel on the EE...FYI
