Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ArmedFerret: No flies on the aero mount you're running, though. I have a couple and will probably grab several more. Light, lock up great, and the rigs I'll be putting them on don't need QD functionality. Is that a strike eagle? Was considering one till I found out it's more suited to 3-gun type shooting than prone/small group stuff like I prefer. Yes it’s a SE 1-6, I had this combo on another rifle that was just sitting in my safe so I figured I would try it out for now, and so I could join y’all in this thread 
I’m undecided still on an optic and mount combo, I do love the razor though but I’m considering the Steiner p4xi. the KAC definitely deserves to have some nice glass sitting on it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ArmedFerret: If you aren't too concerned about clone-correctness, I can't speak highly enough about ADM. They're half the price (or less) of the Geissele which of course we all know is gonna be titties...but I just can't bring myself to grab the G mount when the ADM does exactly the same thing for me for a buttload of ammo's worth of difference.
plus if you're .mil they'll knock a chunk off the MSRP for ya. a nice chunk. I don’t care too much about clone correctness here, just wanted to do something new since most of my rifles host a rds or holo of some sort. I have a feeling I’m gonna love the mini recce style setup though. Will put some rounds through her tomorrow and see how it feels. |

ETA: clearer terminology If you don't file it all the way off, you just need to make sure that where it lands when it's all the way on is where the finger rest area of the latch is sorta around an m-lok slot so that it sticks up correctly. It's definitely a hack, but it works fine. And the latch is a replaceable part, so if you ever abandon the build (like I did) you can just send the can in to AAC and they'll have it back to you with a new latch in a week. I think a lot of people have SDN-6s sitting around sorta unused though. They were a really common can back when a lot of people were just getting into the NFA game and many people bought one going for the "1 can that'll work with every build" strategy. But of course cans are addicting and tech has improved so a lot of people have nicer/lighter cans now and the SDN-6 just sorta goes unused. This is a really great application for it, making it sorta integral, since the can itself is still plenty quiet. Here's a pic of when I did mine:
