Looks good. How does it shoot?

Really well. I had a cheaper BUIS and no Aimpoint on it until yesterday. I haven't zero'd the MaTech or the Aimpoint, but the rifle alone is a real fine machine. I've ran roughly 750 rounds through it, about half Tula and no malfunctions. She'll shoot.

Why is the Surefire a POS?

Because it won't stay on under sustained fire. Hell, it won't stay on the same brightness setting if I rack the charging handle. Surefire more or less told me to get bent because it wasn't advertised as a "weapon light" on their website. I got a hold of Bravo Company about a month ago and will be sending it back now that I am back in town. I don't think I will ever buy a surefire again.

Nice weapon.  Sucks to hear you have had problems with your light.  I have had zero problems with my surefire lights.  You can always get a nice surefire scout M600a on Egay for about $166'ish new.  Good luck getting a new light.

Well shit happens. I understand things don't ALWAYS work like they are supposed to. But what turned me off of surefire was the shitty CS.

Looks good, I plain to build one just like that one

I love it. It's nothing real unique, it's got everything I need and nothing that I don't. Once I get this light swapped, I won't have anything else to do on it so I'll be working on an AK.

Your SF light is working exactly like it should. It is not intended for weapon mounted use. The light switches modes by sensing a temporary interruption in current. When your fire or jolt the weapon, the batteries, held in place by spring pressure, will break contact momentarily. The light detects this as the user cycling the switch and switches modes.

Bingo. Nice gun though!

Nice rifle.  Sorry about your Surfire experience.  I have G2LED's on four of my rifles and I like them quite a bit.

It doesn't add up to me that a light advertised as tactical, defensive, "bomb proof" can be shut off unintentionally by the mild jolt of a 5.56 NATO or by simply dropping it. That is why I feel it is a POS. Either way, it was my mistake for ordering a dual output light. That won't happen again.

Looks good- but you're not done.  One leads to two and so on. I have lost count on the number of AR's I have build over the last 10 years.  15+
