Side question, how are those Geissele barreled urgi’s doing? Seen them popping up in a few classifieds and kinda want one to play with. I know they originally weren’t too well received. Is that still the consensus?

I think people have more of an issue with the coating that G puts on their barrels, not the accuracy or reliability. |

Waiting on 4 prongs (been backordered since Aug), G DDC Sopmod Vortex Mount in route and my 14.5" DD Barrel I think RKUSA fucked me on. The 2nd one wearing the NX8 has and will keep a C marked 14.5" Colt Socom barrel just because I fucking love those barrels.........The 10.3 sports the correct DD barrel and factory GB while the 11.5 has a BCM BFH barrel until a proper DD comes available...........

Two Fridays ago, Surefire had the 4 prongs listed as in stock and then out of stock again, but even when in stock, had the, "Contact Dealer" link, rather than direct sales, "Buy Now" option. I've been waiting for them to show up at some of the dealers' websites. Maybe it's the holiday shipping slowing them down. Maybe they were in stock, sold, but haven't been shipped yet. I was surprised to see them listed as in stock, but it didn't last long. I wouldn't be surprised if they start showing up this week. |

After a long 8-9 months of waiting for the right barrel, finally finished off the URGI upper. I was even able to get a 4 prong at a reasonable price before the barrel. Also got lucky with the recent Geissele BF sale, and got a NSN marked mk16 rail that is a darker, more orange color than most other DDC rails.

I think I am finally done with this one. The base rifle has been finished for a while but I’ve had a few different optics and lights along the way.
For optics it’s had an Aimpoint CompM4s, Razor 1-10, Aimpoint T2, and then a Sig Tango MSR as a placeholder. For lights it’s bounced back and forth between a Surefire M300 and M600. For what I think will be the final configuration it now has a Razor Gen IIE 1-6 with JM-1 reticle in a Badger C1 1.7 height mount. The light is a Surefire M600U in an Arisaka mount with DS00 tail cap and Modlite ModButton lite switch.

I like it a lot better honestly. With LPVO’s I’ve come to prefer second focal plane reticles. To me, the 1-6 seems to have more forgiving eye relief and eye box. I also like that while the illumination is Aimpoint bright, I don’t have to rely on it at 1x like I did with the 1-10. |

Anodizing, especially FDE it seems, isn't super consistent. Maybe they either don't want to deal with us civvies bitching that the mag ring is a slightly different shade than the elevation turret. Or maybe they did find a way to do it and it's super expensive (though that cost could be driven down by selling more units on the .civ market). Or maybe even scrap parts that don't fall within a certain range of FDE. |

That would obviously add to the cost and time (which is also a cost). |

I could only see an issue if there are any electrical components where lead times in supply chain are increased significantly due to worldwide shortages. If they are outsourcing the anodizing, that too is an addition to lead time and cost. but considering the Ultramount doesn't need any electrical parts, not sure why that is kept to .mil sales only. Hopefully SHOT will be good to us, but I don't expect much by how supply chain issues are plaguing several industries.

Got a chance to really try out the scope today and I love it. I should have bought a Razor a long time ago. I was able to run it in a shooting bay from 50 yards up to CQB distances and separately on steel out to about 600 yards. It never missed a beat. 1x was great and shooting steel on 6x was easy.
